What is dextrose?
Dextrose is a high glycaemic carbohydrate source that provides energy quickly, as it is rapidly digested and absorbed. Providing energy in the form of dextrose can delay fatigue and help maintain physical activity levels and improve athletic performance compared to when it is not consumed.
It does not require digestive processes, it reaches the intestine quickly in an intact form, and is absorbed via transporters in the intestinal cell membranes.
What are the benefits of dextrose?
-It facilitates muscle recovery.
-It replenishes muscle and liver energy reserves: muscle and liver glycogen before and after training depending on when it is consumed.
-Helps to postpone the sensation of fatigue.
When to take dextrose?
Before training: During muscular activity, muscles obtain glucose from glycogen stores and plasma glucose. Prolonged exercise depletes glucose from muscle and liver glycogen stores, leading to fatigue and increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia.
Dextrose intake during exercise provides readily available energy to maintain muscle activity and to maintain glucose levels.
Dextrose consumed after exercise helps to replenish muscle and liver glycogen stores. Glycogen stores are depleted after approximately 90 to 120 minutes of intense exercise, and consuming high-glycaemic carbohydrates in the hours following the end of activity helps to replenish these stores.
