Dextrose Monohydrate

• Fast Absorption: Quickly raises blood sugar levels, providing immediate energy—ideal during or after high-intensity workouts.
• Glycogen Replenishment: Restores muscle glycogen stores depleted during activities like sprinting, soccer, and gymnastics.

• Intra-Workout Fuel: Helps maintain energy levels during prolonged or intense training sessions.
• Pre-Workout Boost: Provides a quick energy surge when consumed before workouts, supporting explosive movements and endurance.

• Post-Workout Recovery: When combined with protein, dextrose enhances amino acid uptake into muscles, speeding up recovery and muscle repair.
• Reduces Muscle Soreness: Helps lower post-exercise fatigue by quickly replenishing energy stores.

• Improved Nutrient Transport: Spikes insulin levels, which helps shuttle nutrients like creatine, amino acids, and electrolytes into muscle cells more efficiently.
• Muscle Growth Support: Facilitates an anabolic environment post-workout, promoting muscle repair and growth.

• Rehydration: Often included in sports drinks to enhance fluid absorption and prevent dehydration, especially during long training sessions in hot conditions.

• Hypoglycemia Treatment: Used medically to treat low blood sugar in emergency situations.
• IV Fluids: Administered intravenously for rapid energy delivery in clinical settings.

• Pre-Workout: 15–30g for a quick energy boost, especially if the athlete hasn’t eaten recently.
• Intra-Workout: 20–40g during long sessions to sustain performance.
• Post-Workout: 30–50g with protein to accelerate recovery and glycogen replenishment.

• Fast Spikes: Can cause rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes if not timed properly.
• Not for Regular Consumption: Best used around workouts, not as a daily carbohydrate source due to its high glycemic index.
• Hydration Needs: Ensure adequate water intake when using dextrose to avoid dehydration.

For your 14-year-old multi-sport athlete, dextrose can:

• Provide quick energy before sprints or soccer matches
• Speed up recovery after intense strength or cardio sessions
• Help maintain energy during long tournaments or training camps

Would you like me to suggest specific recovery shakes or snacks incorporating dextrose for her routine?
