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.
Ya..I thought you would just make your own :)

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.
in some but not all, try calling around to them...Quote:

Where do you get Malto?Quote:

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.Quote:

i know nothing about the whole sugar pwo deal...
What's the benefit of it?
How much dex do you take pwo???
thx in advance!
I'm a little baffled about sugar pwo too.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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:

page 4-5 is the stuff on carbs post-workout
