Product Description

Dextrose is crystallized glucose--the natural sugar created in starchy foods, such as sweet fruits, honey and grains, primarily. Dextrose is extracted from these food sources for several different uses. Common names for dextrose include corn sugar, rice sugar, potato sugar or wheat sugar. From hospitals to food processing plants, dextrose is an integral part of delivering simple carbohydrates to the body.

IV Fluids Base
Dextrose is a key ingredient in many hospitals and clinics as part of an intravenous solution designed to deliver water and calories to sick patients, according to MedicineNet.com. Dextrose provides simple carbohydrates to the body that are easily broken down and processed. A dextrose IV solution is also a good carrier of other IV medications, according to MedicineNet.com, acting as a dilutant.

Sugar Substitute
Many artificial sweeteners use dextrose as a base to provide a viable alternative to regular table sugar. There are only 4 calories per every gram of dextrose, according to Sugar.org. Since dextrose is not as sweet as table sugar, many people find it more palatable to sweeten things like coffee or tea because it lends sweetness without overdoing it. Dextrose is also used as a replacement for pure cane sugar in such food items as cake, candy, breakfast cereal, pudding and other desserts, according to Sugar.org.

Insulin Regulator
Dextrose ranks high on the glycemic index, meaning that it enters the bloodstream quickly and triggers a high insulin response. Dextrose can be used in pill form to boost low blood sugar levels, according to Bodyactiveonline.com. This can help those with diabetes or hypoglycemia to better regulate levels and provide optimal insulin output. Dextrose supplements should only be taken under the advice of a physician.

Body Building Supplement
Dextrose is sometimes taken as a health supplement when blended with other substances, usually creatine and glutamine, according to Bodyactiveonline.com. Athletes, body builders and those seeking to lose weight can take a 50-mg dose just after working out to optimize the way the body processes protein and other nutrients. It also provides the body with a post-workout energy boost.

Dextrose Powder does not have an immediate effect on the taste buds, because you won’t be able to taste the sweetness until about 2 or 3 seconds.

Dextrose is popular with many brewers, and bottlers, because when it ferments it does not add much residue, nor does it add any noticeable flavor. For bottling, the recommended starting point is to use approximately a half of a cup, to one cup, for bottling five gallons. It can also be used as a brewing sugar, adding alcohol without adding body.

Dextrose has also been gaining popularity in the bodybuilding community, because, when taken alongside creatine it causes your insulin levels to go up thus bringing more creatine into the muscle cells. It is important to note that Dextrose has a high glycemic level rating. The recommended usage for body builders is to take it when your glycogen levels are low (after working out) at approximately 50 to 100 grams.

For home usage this product can be used as a general sweetener. It can be used as filler in sauces, gravies and pie fillings. It can also be used in dry powder formulations such as cocoa mix, instant coffee mix, puddings or any formula that you need to fill in with bulk or space. Dextrose Powder will lower the freezing point of Ice Cream when it is added to it.
