Dextrose same as glucose?

[silverwex]

Living in Ireland I couldnt find anywhere selling dextrose (to use with creatine once I start working out).

My dad owns a chemist shop and we have GLUCOSE powder in there alright.

Is this the same?

Also, how many grams of dextrose should u take with the 5g creatine?

Thanks

How much to take with the 5g creatine also?

Its not as difficult as it seems. With your five grams, drink any fruit juice (like apple or grape) or gatorade.

i usually put 30g of dextrose to every 5g of creatine, the trick is to create an isulin spike so that your body will store more nutrients faster. and about the juice you wanna be real careful when using fruit juice. use any juice that has citric acid in it and your creatine will change into creatinine which your body does not use, also alot of juice especially premade gatorade carries alot of junk like high fructose corn syrup and artifical flavors. so dextrose is the way to go its cheap and effective.
