Solid, no frills dextrose. Dissolves easily in water or and it’s noticeably cheaper per kg than most flavoured intra-workout carb powders.

Tried this immediately after a 32km run where I was starting to deplete a bit and get doughy in the head. Felt better within a minute or so. Sweet but pleasant taste, not sickly.

Dextrose powder
Kim C on 18/04/2026Verified buyer
I added this powder to my morning pretraining drink to help prevent the sugar drop/cravings in the evenings. And it has worked really well. NO more evening sugar cravings and my energy levels stay consistent during the day. That's what a carb is supposed to do, I prefer adding it to my fasted training drink in the mornings. It's an individual option. No taste, easy to mix. It is a bit pricey compared to other places. I buy a lot from Bulk Nutrients and it's easy to add it to my cart with no extra delivery costs.
