Dextrose and Maltodextrin, why?

[CuBaNMuScLe]

I dont see why tehy are better for you after workout. Are they higher on the glycemic index than sucrose? I have always used suger and a banana in my post workout shake. Is this bad? Why? Explain please and where can I get dextrose/maltodextrin cheap if its absolutelyu necessary

A banana is fructose which replaces liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen. Dextrose and malto. is a combination of high and low glycemic carbs. There's a good article here I posted on pre/during/post workout nutrition thats an excellent read and goes in depth on why each is beneficial.

Another cheap source is www.proteinfactory.com. you can have it alone, mixed with a whey of your choice (isolate, filtered, casein...etc). and flavored how you see fit......yummy place and they ship in bulk.
