Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose Monohydrate is a form of single chain carbohydrate (simple sugar) made from corn starch and is easily soluble in water which is important for its’ palatability. Dextrose Monohydrate is commonly added to food to enhance sweetness, energy source and bulking agent. Dextrose Monohydrate can be either in liquid, tablet, or powder form. Dextrose Monohydrate is often used in foods (including sports drink and energy gels) as the source of carbohydrate.
VPA® Dextrose Monohydrate is in a powder form and made from corn. The product is made by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis, uses water, enzymes and acids to break the starch into small pieces, which results in a white powder consisting of sugar molecules. Basically, it involves extracting and isolating the starch from the corn, rice or potatoes and creating a powder.
Dextrose Monohydrate is quickly absorbed by the gut and it can elevate blood sugar faster than glucose. Although the general rule is that a diet comprised of high glycaemic carbohydrates can be unsatisfactory, consuming a product such as dextrose powder does play an important role in sports performance and recovery.
Dextrose serves to replenish lost nutrients and electrolytes. Dextrose plays a role in the production of proteins and in lipid metabolism.
Dextrose Monohydrate can be used by anyone who wants to get the most out of their training, accelerate their progress towards their goals or gain weight. Dextrose Monohydrate is often used by endurance athletes, however it can be used by bodybuilders, strength athletes, those who enjoy HITT or Bootcamp, as well as those who hit the gym to stay fit.
