Hit up your local "self brew" wine store. I bought 2kg's today for $6 including tax. From most supplement sellers - $10/kg).
Save yourself $16 and get it cheaper. I did. :D

That's where I have gotten mine in the past. Where I live there is no supplements store but there is a home wine/beer brew shop. People love their booze way to much in the North.
ya Superstore carries Dextrose too. 6 bucks for a 2 kilo tub.

You can def get Malto at wine stores. Just give them a call before you drive all the way out there.

The place I buy sells Dex for ~$2/kg and Malto for $6/kg.
If you buy bulk (50lbs ~ 22.7kg bags) Dex goes for around $1.50/kg and Malto around $3/kg.

I`ve thought about those big ass malto bags, but don`t they attract ants? Or do you transfer the malto into emtpy protein buckets? Shit, I have about 9empty`s in the basement!

Empty prote buckets. I could see how the little buggers could feed off that shit pretty easy. Not like a paper bag's that hard to get into anyways.

Bulk Barn- labeled as corn sugar but if you look at the sub-title it says dextrose.. very cheap.
I take it you guys are using dextrose pwo? Are you using it with insulin?

A winery. I'm in Victoria, BC, and the place I get it from is called Hamilton Hops and Grapes. Just do a Google search for one in your area and give em a shout.

Sugar is use for refill your muscle glycogen after a hard trainning, if this is not done muscle recovery is very slow, actualy your muscle will not recover until your muscle has all is glycogen back.
Whats the best ans fastest way to get your glycogen refield??
A mix of 50/50 dextrose and Maltodextrine with your protein shake
at about 0.8gr. per kg. of body weight.

I hate dextrose, the taste is far too sweet for me. Powdered carbs are always nice post-workout as throwing them in a shake is rather convenient. How much to take would depend on the rest of your diet.

I understand your initial point but I think you left something very important out. Refilling muscle glycogen is very dependent on having enough substrate to do so not just the type of substrate. The reason everyone flocks to sugar or other high GI carbs is because of the insulin spike provided theoretically getting carbs to the muscle quicker. Great in theory in application I'm not quite sold. Based on the limited research available the high GI carb post-workout camp isn't faring as well as initially thought.
I don't agree with dextrose/malto post workout simply because it's too rigid a model. It looks like there may be merit to including some fructose as well as intense exercise can deplete liver glycogen as well. I opt for a scoop of protein and some chocolate milk.
I think Alan Aragon did a good job summing up the research in the first article of his initial AARR and best of all it's free:
