Now Dextrose - Monosaccharide that is approx. 30% less sweet than cane sugar

The dextrose or glucose as it is also known, is a monosaccharide that is approximately 30% less sweet than pure or refined cane sugar, and is not associated with fructose or lactose. 

Produced entirely from corn, making the course effective and readily usable by the body. The fine texture and moderate sweetness, makes dextrose as a sweetener versatile for a wide range of applications. However, it offers a very important result for the athletes.

As a simple sugar, is well tolerated by most organisms and can be consumed before, during, and after a period of intense training. In terms of athletic performance, dextrose ensure enough energy to muscles so you do not consume protein and nutrients needed for recovery, repair and reconstruction.

Dextrose has a high glycemic index (GI), which allows it to enter the bloodstream quickly and stimulates a powerful and almost instantaneous insulin secretion. Insulin with strong anabolic properties, helps to transport nutrients to the cells of "starving" the muscle fibers, such as creatine monohydrate, B-alanine, L-arginine, L-carnitine and others.
