Default Hello guys new , love the site quick question thou

Hello guys I been taking in the site . Alot of great info and nice people , I did have a question though I read the window of Opportunity (great read btw) still being new to all this and learning the names for stuff . This Morning while making my oats next to my Oats I saw a box of Splenda that happen to have the Nutrition Facts right there saw INGREDIENTS : DEXTROSE MALTODEXTRIN SUCRALOSE . Wait a minute I know those things jump back on cpu looked at the site and its two of the things at go with the PWO Shake . I never really use splenda or real sugar but will splenda be useful for anything such as in the shakes? all i use now is whey and creatine . thanks in advance for any input !

I am not sure if you could use splenda or not, I personally get dextrose and maltodextrin from the bakery wholesaler near my house. Otherwise you can buy it from a company like NOW (or others I imagine), they make dextrose (named as such) and Carbo Gain (maltodextrin). Just do a search online.

No, you'd have to consume thousands of packets and that amount of artificial sweetener is not advisable for your health or wallet!

Welcome to the site.

yeah it doesnt work that way.....

you know what i have been using for pwo shake lately, since im kinda broke and can't afford much supplements, is instead of malto and dextrose, use that frozen white grape juice at the stores....

i know its not the same, but still its sugars, tastes good, good for you, and is pretty cheap. Plus it has vitamin c in it too, which you can never get too much of lol

does anyone know a decent PWO shake (brand name) that has everything you need ie glutamine, dextrose, maltodextrin and 50-60g of whey? Ive been taking maximuscle progain extreme post workout but due the lack of dextrose and maltodextrin i have to eat something sugary like a muffin which then makes me bloated and drowsy
