Would Fruit Juice like Juicy Juice make a good substitute PWO for Maltodextrin/dextrose? I have an over abundance of juice and we really don't drink it all the time.
Fructokinase, your right, only liver has it. The reason im opposed to using it PWO is because of the fact that it will fill up the liver with glycogen instead of the muscles. It's a wasted opportunity to put more back into your muscles.fructose requires an enzyme to break it down into glycogen. only the liver has that enzyme, so unless I'm completely mistaken, pure fructose will not replenish your muscle glycogen. Instead, it will be passed to the liver for processing, then it will continue to stock up glycogen in the liver until it is full (some say around 150 grams of carbs can be stored in the average liver), the rest immediately go to fat. That's one of the reasons why high fructose corn syrup gets such a bad wrap.. it doesn't exhibit an insulin response because it doesn't raise the blood sugar, so it has a different pathway that may not make you feel like you've eaten (no sugar rise and fall) so you can potentially continue eating.
but that's PURE fructose. Fruits are not pure fructose, I believe something like a banana is around half fructose and the other half is i think glucose. either way, whatever it is, the other half does exhibit an insulin response since it can be broken down in the blood stream and sent to muscles or fat.
so yes, fruit juice can be used PWO but definitely far from ideal. You may want to do additional research and found out the fruits that are higher in glucose than in fructose, I believe cantaloupe is one of the few.
when I do fructose it's in the morning, because getting your liver stocked up is a signal to stop catabolism. Post workout, I'll have a little two. In other words, those are the only times I feel like liver is potentially glycogen starved.
Fructose goes to the liver and makes you fat, not to the muscles, raising insulin and building muscles. I would cut out all fructose. There's a link on the UT Southwestern Site (which I can't post because I have <50 posts) which talks about it.Would Fruit Juice like Juicy Juice make a good substitute PWO for Maltodextrin/dextrose?

Poliquin recommends a mix of 40% high glycemic fruit juice, such as pineapple or grape and the rest from malto or dextrose. I've been doing the grape and I enjoy getting that in after I lift, hope that helps.Would Fruit Juice like Juicy Juice make a good substitute PWO for Maltodextrin/dextrose?

Copy-cat, lol. I use airheads and nerds when in vain.I bought Nerds today until my dextrose come in the mail that's an option too.
I know nerds don't, but do airheads have hydrogenated oils in them?Copy-cat, lol. I use airheads and nerds when in vain.

i concur. newer studies have verified this. it doesn't give the response that was once a popular belief. you can try optimum health's glycomaize also. it mixes a little bit better for me.Fructose in fruit juice doesn't illicit an insulin response that your aiming for with malodextrin/dextrin. I wouldn't do it.
I don't even want to know how yo came across his lolThis thread is a trip. Epic bump lol
I would say yes you could but would add some dex to it or a banana (glucose), would also add 1-2g taurine, 5g BCAA's or a scoop of fast acting protein and 2-4g creatine into it IMOWould Fruit Juice like Juicy Juice make a good substitute PWO for Maltodextrin/dextrose?
