Where can one buy Dextrose to add to creatine?  Grocery store?  How much is a good amount to go with? Thanks guys.

Good tip.  I stopped at the local home brewing shop on the way home.  For $4.50, I bought a bag of dextrose that was the size of a bag of sugar your mom buys to bake cookies with.  I have been using gatorade (in powdered form, it contains both sucrose and dextrose), but I'm looking forward to using the more "pure" form. I also purchased a smaller bag of malodextrin as well.  Not sure about how to use the latter at this point, so I'm researching that issue.  Any info on the latter, as well as the proper amount to use of either dextrose/malodextrin in a pwo shake would be appreciated.

So far, the best asnwer I've found is to use both, although the proportions are unclear to me.

Midnite,  ive heard and read that a 50/50 mix of dextrose and maltrodextrin is ideal.  I use dextrose only but id say give the 50/50 mix a try...couldnt hurt, might help!!!
