Dextrose Monohydrate Complex Carbohydrate, Unflavoured, 100% Pure Powder

What is Dextrose Monohydrate?

Dextrose Monohydrate is a white powder that is relatively tasteless and dissolves in water.  Dextrose is a simple sugar usually made from corn or wheat that’s chemically identical to glucose, or blood sugar.  It’s often used as a sweetener in baking products and is found in processed foods and corn syrup.  Although the powder comes from these natural products, it then undergoes processing.

To make Dextrose Monohydrate, manufacturers put the starch through a process called hydrolysis.  Hydrolysis uses water, enzymes, and acids to break the starch into smaller pieces, resulting in a white powder consisting of sugar molecules.

It is an additive in a wide range of foods, as it can improve their texture, flavour, and shelf life.  In edible products, this powder can help by:

·        thickening foods or liquids to help bind the ingredients together

·        improving texture or flavour

·        helping to preserve foods and increase their shelf life

·        replacing sugar or fat in low-calorie, processed foods

Dextrose Monohydrate is a very easy-to-digest carbohydrate and can provide energy rapidly.  Due to this, you will find Dextrose Monohydrate powder added to many sports drinks, snacks and mass gainer protein powders.

Dextrose Monohydrate also known as D-glucose, has broad applications throughout the food and beverage industries. Typical applications include bakery products, beverages, dry mixes, confectionery, ice cream, pickles, processed meats and pharmaceutical products.

Dextrose Monohydrate also has medical purposes.  It is dissolved in solutions that are given intravenously, which can be combined with other drugs, or used to increase a person’s blood sugar.  Because Dextrose Monohydrate is a simple sugar, the body can quickly use it for energy.

Use & Benefits:

Dextrose Monohydrate is a fast-digesting carbohydrate which is ideal for bodybuilders and other athletes trying to gain weight.  Maltodextrin can be a good source of quick calories during or after a workout.

Bodybuilders and fitness fans sometimes use simple carbohydrates after hard workouts in order to restore the body’s glycogen (stored energy) and glucose (usable energy) levels.  Others may use it during exercise to improve endurance, enabling you to keep going during a longer cardio workout or HIIT session.

Post-workout, bodybuilders or athletes may choose to consume high-glycemic foods like Dextrose Monohydrate to raise normal blood sugar and insulin levels in order to get carbohydrates to the muscle cells.

Some research suggests that carbohydrate powder in the form of Dextrose Monohydrate is safe for healthy young athletes who use it for post-exercise glycogen resynthesis, assuming they have adequate glucose metabolism.

Since Dextrose Monohydrate doesn’t use as much water to digest as some carbohydrates, it’s a good way to get quick calories without becoming dehydrated.  Some research also shows that Dextrose Monohydrate supplements can help maintain anaerobic power during exercise.

People with chronic hypoglycemia take Dextrose Monohydrate as part of their regular treatment.  Because Dextrose Monohydrate causes a faster increase in blood sugar, it’s an effective treatment for those who struggle to maintain normal blood sugar levels.  If their glucose level gets too low, they have a quick solution.

Dextrose Monohydrate is excellent as a carbohydrate source mixed with Protein powders, Dairy or Vegan, to make a bulking shake for between meal consumption.  Also, you can use Dextrose Monohydrate for Brewing Beer.  Use in place of white sugar sucrose in either your fermentation or for priming your beer when bottling or kegging.  Dextrose Monohydrate is faster to dissolve than white sugar and 100% fermentable.
