DextroseDextrose has a GI of approximately 100. This is very high. For those that desire a sports drink with a kick, we provide the option of making the sports drink from pure dextrose. This sugar is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and will provide an almost instant source of energy for those feeling a “bonk”. It is digested even faster than glucose. We use this sugar to provide a sports drink with character. It’s the sports drink equivalent to shooting 151 proof Jamaican rum and washing it down with a shot of Jet Fuel. It puts a bit of gusto in your ride.Dextrose is easily digested and quickly exits the stomach. This property is very useful for athletes competing in long events that struggle to eat enough during the race. Drinking sugars with a high GI value is in our opinion, the best way to ingest and digest a lot of calories rapidly. Dextrose provides us with natural, energy, and is found in some carbohydrate foods. Drinking this sugar while exercising vigorously will not induce the same possibly harmful insulin response that accompanies eating sugar while resting. However, we don’t recommend that you drink sports drinks containing this sugar when not exercising. |
