Dextrose Glucose 1000 g
Pure 100% glucose (dextrose, D-glucose, grape sugar) is a simple carbohydrate with a high glycemic index that the body can utilise 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 looking to maximise performance and recover quickly after an intense workout.
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose - an instant energy source 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 simple carbohydrate with a high glycemic index and a sweet taste is utilised by the body almost instantly, making it ideal for rapid replenishment of energy and muscle glycogen after strenuous exercise. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is intended for athletes, endurance runners, and bodybuilders who want to maximise their performance and recover quickly after a demanding training session.
Benefits
- Energy source with a high glycemic index
- Supports muscle glycogen replenishment and post-workout recovery
- Easily soluble in drinks, suitable for use before, during, and after sports performance
- Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Why choose glucose?
- Instant energy source - fast onset of action for both short-burst and high-intensity endurance activities
- High glycemic index - ideal for replenishing depleted muscle glycogen
- Sweet taste - easily mixed into water or sports drinks, perfect for quick fuelling before, during, and after training
- Best post-workout - helps muscles recover rapidly and restore energy reserves
Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function following highly intensive or long-lasting physical exercise, which causes muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscles. This beneficial effect is achieved 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 completing the workout.
Directions of use
Mix 1 serving (1 heaped scoop = 50 g) in 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 for?
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is pure 100% glucose (dextrose monohydrate), a simple carbohydrate with a high glycemic index. The body can use it almost immediately, making it ideal for quick energy and muscle glycogen replenishment 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 enthusiasts, and bodybuilders who need rapid energy recovery after intense performance.
How is BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose used?
The recommended serving is 50 g (1 heaped scoop), mixed in 250 to 350 ml of water. It is recommended to drink this within 4 hours after exercise, and no later than 6 hours after training, to ensure the body most effectively replenishes depleted muscle glycogen. For optimal effect, a total carbohydrate intake from all sources of 4 g per kg of body weight is recommended.
When is it best to use glucose - before, during, or after training?
Glucose is most beneficial after training when it helps rapidly restore depleted muscle glycogen stores and supports muscle recovery. Thanks to its high glycemic index, the body can also use it before or during longer, high-intensity performances as a quick source of energy. We recommend consuming it within 4 hours post-workout, no later than 6 hours, for optimal glycogen recovery.
Is BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose suitable for vegans?
Yes, BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The product contains a single ingredient—dextrose monohydrate—which is of plant origin and contains no animal-derived components. Thanks to its simple and clean composition, it is suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences, including gluten-free or lactose-free diets.
Does BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose contain allergens or gluten?
No, the product does not contain any allergens. The composition consists solely of dextrose monohydrate without added gluten, lactose, soy, or nuts. Due to its single-ingredient formula, it is suitable for individuals with food intolerances who need to monitor 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 glycemic index that the body absorbs almost immediately, while maltodextrin consists of chains of glucose units and releases energy more gradually. BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose is therefore better suited for rapid energy replenishment immediately after intense activity, whereas maltodextrin is often used as an energy source before or during long endurance events. Both carbohydrates are suitable for glycogen replenishment; they differ primarily in absorption rate and sweetness—dextrose is significantly sweeter.
Is it better to use dextrose or regular sugar (sucrose)?
Dextrose (glucose) is a simple carbohydrate that the body absorbs directly without requiring further digestion, whereas regular table sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose, which requires digestion before absorption. Consequently, dextrose has a faster onset of action and is more effective for immediate post-workout muscle glycogen replenishment. Furthermore, BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose contains 100% pure dextrose without additional additives, allowing for precise carbohydrate dosing.
Can I combine BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose with protein or creatine?
Yes, dextrose is commonly combined with protein powders and creatine. The high glycemic index of glucose triggers a rapid release of insulin, which can support the transport of amino acids and creatine into muscle cells, accelerating post-workout recovery. Since the product is unflavoured and easily soluble, it can be easily added to a protein or gainer shake without significantly altering the taste.
Does glucose have any side effects?
When adhering to the recommended dosage (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, blood sugar fluctuations, or contribute to excessive energy intake if not used in the context of physical activity. It is recommended to maintain a total carbohydrate intake of 4 g per kg of body weight from all sources and consume the product primarily in relation to training.
Can diabetics use glucose?
Due to the high glycemic index and the content of 45.8 g of sugars in a single 50 g serving, individuals with diabetes or sugar metabolism disorders should consult a doctor before using BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose. The product is intended primarily for healthy athletes for rapid energy replenishment after intense performance and is not a standard supplement for diabetics without medical supervision.
How many calories and carbohydrates are in one serving?
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. The entire composition is exclusively dextrose monohydrate, making it a pure and readily available source of energy without unnecessary additives.
What is the taste of the product, does it contain flavours?
BodyWorld Dextrose Glucose has no added flavour; it has a natural sweet taste typical of grape sugar. This makes it universally applicable—it can be easily mixed into water, sports drinks, protein shakes, or other supplements without significantly changing their flavour.
Directions of use
Mix 1 serving (1 heaped scoop = 50 g) in 250 to 350 ml of water and consume within 4 hours of exercise.
