Dextrose belongs to the group of carbohydrates, which, along with fats and proteins, are important nutrients for humans. It is the most important “simple sugar” and is also commonly called “dextrose” or in medicine “glucose”. However, the different names always mean the same molecule. Dextrose is a naturally occurring sugar that is found, for example, in sweet fruits and honey. Dextrose is also obtained from starch, for example corn starch, which is broken down into its individual building blocks (dextrose/glucose) with the help of enzymes.

If the carbohydrate supply is just not sufficient and blood sugar drops noticeably, it is advisable to supply the body with carbohydrates immediately. If things have to happen quickly, then for example directly as dextrose/glucose. It is important to ensure that a large portion is not consumed at once, but rather small amounts at short intervals. Half a tablet (Dextro Energy* cube tablet) every 15 to 20 minutes is ideal. This consumption recommendation helps to raise blood sugar to normal levels; Furthermore, a further drop in blood sugar is avoided.

It is advisable to try out sports nutrition during training. Because it is important to practice eating and drinking during exercise and also to find your own drinking rhythm. This makes it easier to absorb carbohydrates and fluids and thus provides security and routine for the competition.

Before exercising, it's important to replenish your carbohydrate stores, replenish your fluids and add minerals. For example, drink 150-300 ml of liquid about 20 minutes before the start. If you want to calm your stomach a bit or replenish your carbohydrate stores, you can also have a carbohydrate-containing snack such as a carbohydrate bar (e.g. Energy Bar) shortly before the start. This keeps your carbohydrate stores full for longer.

Depending on the duration and intensity of the training or competition, fluids and minerals must be replenished to ensure performance. The recommendations for fluid intake are up to 0.75 liters per hour, depending on sweat loss and of course depending on the environmental conditions. You should not drink more than a maximum of 0.8 - 1 liter of liquid, as the body can hardly absorb any more liquid and this would also put too much strain on the stomach.

For optimal regeneration and to support the training effect, it is important to recharge your carbohydrate stores within 60 minutes of exercise, compensate for the loss of fluids and minerals and counteract possible muscle breakdown by consuming protein (e.g. recovery drink).

If you have any questions about use by children, it is recommended that you contact a pediatrician.
