NOW Dextrose Powder
NOW Dextrose Powder is a pure, fast-absorbing carbohydrate supplement made from corn-derived glucose. It is commonly added to protein shakes and post-workout drinks to help replenish muscle glycogen after intense exercise and support recovery. Its neutral taste and fine texture make it easy to mix with protein, creatine, amino acids, and other sports supplements.
Because dextrose has a high glycemic index, it is rapidly absorbed and quickly raises blood glucose levels, stimulating insulin release. This natural response helps transport nutrients into muscle cells, making dextrose a popular post-workout carbohydrate among bodybuilders, strength athletes, and endurance athletes.
Benefits of NOW Dextrose Powder
