Dextrose Glucose 1000 g
Pure 100% glucose (dextrose, D-glucose, grape sugar) is a simple carbohydrate with a high glycaemic index that the body can use almost immediately. Thanks to its rapid absorption, it is ideal for replenishing energy and muscle glycogen before, during and after training. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is designed for athletes who want to maximise their performance and recover quickly after a demanding workout.
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose - an instant source of energy and rapid glycogen replenishment for post-workout muscle recovery
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is pure 100% glucose (dextrose, D-glucose), also known as grape sugar. This sweet-tasting simple carbohydrate has a high glycaemic index and can be used by the body almost immediately, making it ideal for rapid replenishment of energy and muscle glycogen after strenuous exercise. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is designed for athletes, endurance athletes and bodybuilders who want to maximise their performance and recover quickly after a demanding workout.
Benefits
- energy source with a high glycaemic index
- supports muscle glycogen replenishment and post-workout recovery
- easily dissolves in drinks, suitable before, during and after exercise
- also suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Why choose glucose?
- instant source of energy - fast-acting for short, intense activities and endurance exercise
- high glycaemic index - ideal for replenishing depleted muscle glycogen
- sweet taste - mixes easily into water or sports drinks, suitable for a quick energy boost before, during and after training
- best after training - helps muscles recover quickly and replenishes energy stores
Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after highly intensive or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle. This beneficial effect is obtained by consuming carbohydrates at a total intake of 4 g per kilogram of body weight from all sources.
For best results, it is recommended to consume carbohydrates within the first 4 hours after intense activity and no later than 6 hours after finishing training.
Directions of use
Mix 1 serving (1 heaped scoop = 50 g) with 250 to 350 ml of water and consume within 4 hours of exercise.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose and what is it used for?
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is pure 100% glucose (dextrose monohydrate), a simple carbohydrate with a high glycaemic index. The body can use it almost immediately, making it useful for rapidly replenishing energy and muscle glycogen before, during and especially after training. One 50 g serving contains 183 kcal and 45.8 g of carbohydrates, of which 45.8 g are sugars. It is suitable for athletes, endurance athletes and bodybuilders who need to replenish their energy stores quickly after strenuous exercise.
How do I take BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose?
The recommended serving is 50 g (1 heaped scoop), mixed with 250 to 350 ml of water. It is recommended to drink it within 4 hours of exercise, and no later than 6 hours after finishing training, to help the body replenish depleted muscle glycogen as efficiently as possible. For optimal results, a total carbohydrate intake of 4 g per kilogram of body weight from all sources is recommended.
When is the best time to take glucose - before, during or after training?
Glucose is most beneficial after training, when it helps rapidly replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores and supports muscle recovery. However, thanks to its high glycaemic index, the body can also use it as a fast source of energy before or during prolonged and intense exercise. The manufacturer recommends consuming a serving within 4 hours of exercise, and no later than 6 hours afterwards, for optimal glycogen replenishment.
Is BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose suitable for vegans?
Yes, BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The product contains just one ingredient - dextrose monohydrate, which is plant-derived and contains no animal ingredients. Its simple, pure formulation makes it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences, including gluten-free and lactose-free diets.
Does BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose contain allergens or gluten?
No, according to the information provided, the product contains no allergens. It consists exclusively of dextrose monohydrate, with no added gluten, lactose, soya or nuts. Its single-ingredient formulation also makes it suitable for people with food intolerances who need to check the purity of their supplements. However, it is always advisable to check the current label on the packaging before use.
What is the difference between dextrose and maltodextrin?
Dextrose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) with a high glycaemic index that the body absorbs almost immediately, whereas maltodextrin is made up of chains of glucose units and releases energy somewhat more gradually. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is therefore better suited to rapidly replenishing energy immediately after intense exercise, while maltodextrin is often used as an energy source before or during prolonged endurance activities. Both carbohydrates are suitable for replenishing glycogen, but differ mainly in their absorption rate and sweetness - dextrose is considerably sweeter.
Is it better to use dextrose or ordinary sugar (sucrose)?
Dextrose (glucose) is a simple carbohydrate that the body absorbs directly without further breakdown, whereas ordinary table sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose that requires digestion before absorption. As a result, dextrose acts faster and is more effective for immediately replenishing muscle glycogen after training. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose also contains 100% pure dextrose without additional ingredients, allowing for precise carbohydrate dosing.
Can I combine BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose with protein or creatine?
Yes, dextrose is commonly combined with both protein powders and creatine. The high glycaemic index of glucose triggers a rapid release of insulin, which may support the transport of amino acids and creatine into muscle cells and speed up post-workout recovery. As the product is unflavoured and easily soluble, it can be easily added to a protein shake or mass gainer drink without significantly changing the taste.
Does glucose have any side effects?
When taken at the recommended serving size (50 g in 250-350 ml of water), BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is safe for healthy athletes. Excessive consumption of simple sugars may cause digestive discomfort, fluctuations in blood sugar levels or contribute to excessive energy intake if not consumed in the context of physical activity. It is recommended to keep total carbohydrate intake to 4 g per kilogram of body weight from all sources and to consume the product mainly in connection with training.
Can people with diabetes take glucose?
Given its high glycaemic index and the 45.8 g of sugars in each 50 g serving, people with diabetes or disorders of sugar metabolism should consult a doctor before using BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose. The product is intended primarily for healthy athletes to rapidly replenish energy after intense exercise and is not a standard supplement for people with diabetes without medical supervision.
How many calories and carbohydrates does one serving contain?
One 50 g serving contains 183 kcal, 45.8 g of carbohydrates (of which 45.8 g are sugars), 0 g of fat, 0 g of protein and less than 0.01 g of salt. It consists exclusively of dextrose monohydrate, making it a pure and rapidly available source of energy without unnecessary additives.
What does the product taste like, and does it contain flavourings?
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose has no added flavourings and has the naturally sweet taste typical of grape sugar. This makes it versatile - it can be easily mixed into water, sports drinks, protein shakes or other supplements without significantly changing their taste.
Directions of use
Mix 1 serving (1 heaped scoop = 50 g) with 250 to 350 ml of water and consume within 4 hours of exercise.
