I been looking around the forums and I noticed dextrose - which is a simple sugar and maltodextrin which is not a complex sugar.. Is there any complex carb sugars in powder form available?

The reason why I ask is I wanna mix some complex carbs into my ON whey protein to save some money instead of buying the pre mixed stuff.

i guess ill just eat 100% whole wheat bread with my shakes..

quick question about using kwik karb for post workout..

I have been doing my research and im supposed to consume about 50 carbs post work out, 25 dextrose and 25 maltodextrin. If i was taking kwik karb for post workout I Just take 50 grams of that and no dextrose or maltodextrin??

It's a very low GI carb that is metabolized slowly, avoiding the spike that comes along with normal sugars. It tastes like sugar, but about half as sweet and it works perfectly when throwing a couple tablespoons into a protein shake.

Kind of general question but whats the GI of WMS, SuperCarb, and dextrose?

I'll have to do a little bit of searching for the GIs of WMS and dextrose, but SuperCARB has a GI of 32.

holy crap!! you made my day.. So it has a low Gi value?? whats the GI value of 100% whole wheat breaD?

[BIGGUNZ401]

one more question.. so 40 g of suparcarbs would be the same as 40g of 100% slow digesting carbs??

also how well does it mix???

sorry for the questions. Im just trying to learn more as I go everyday.

One tablespoon of SuperCARB provides 11.2 grams of carbohydrates. While they are technically 11.2 grams of sugars, they are metabolized much slower than sucrose. To give you a specific example, I'll quote the SuperCARB write-up:

a 60g dose, in a 200lb person, increased blood glucose by only 1/3 of that which was produced by sucrose at the same dose. Additionally, it did not significantly increase blood triglycerides, a property NOT shared by sucrose and fructose. While blood glucose quickly falls to below baseline fasting concentrations with rapidly metabolizing sugars, it remains at the ideally elevated level for several hours with SuperCarb™.

It mixes pretty much the same as table sugar would. They are VERY similar texture/bulk-wise.

And don't worry about asking questions; that's what we're here for.

I'm still unsure about the GI of WMS. I've seen conflicting information, from it having a GI of 41-45(as quoted by Nate Wolfe) up to ~137.

You might be able to get more information by asking someone like DSade or TrueProtein. Sorry I'm not of more help with this.

thats insane for a product to have such a low gi value.. I dindt realize Wheat bread was so high in gi value. I always thought it was good for bulking because it doesnt spike inuslin levels
