Table sugar in shake?

Yj, in the new Flex it says that adding 2- 2.5 ounces of table sugar to pre and post workout shakes will help protein synthesis. What are your thoughts on
this?
Thanks

Woody

That's pretty much false. That is not dextrose or maltodextrin sugar. That sugar replenishes liver glycogen and not muscle.

Table sugar is sucrose and its derived from fructose and glucose. The addition of the fructose makes it not appealing to use post workout, for 2 reasons:

1. Fructoses place on the GI scale is not representative of that youre looking for for a proper insulin response

2. Fructose primarily fills liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen, which is one of the largest factors for consuming carbohydrates post-workout.

Dextrose or maltodextrose are your best bets.

Just goes to show, don't believe everything you read in these magazines.

These are the problems with all the misinformation out there. People here something (even the magazines) from someone educated and they don't take the time to educate themselves before spouting off misinformation. The concept is there, but the ingrediants are wrong.

dextrose is dextrose...the ingredients are the same regardless of the company. just make sure it is plain dextrose and maltodextrin.

Is it necessary to add dextrose to all protein shakes or just those immediately following a workout?
