Last night, as i was giving some pedialyte to my sick daughter, I found out that it contains dextrose.

Currently I'm buying some protein/energy powerder with a dextrose base at VittaShope, but it's ~$35 for 30 servings. The pedialyte option seems much less expensive, but not sure how much dextrose pedialyte has or if it's as effective as the VittaShope product.

Creatine and Dextrose serve 2 completely seperate purposes. Dont want to give a chemistry lesson and dont fully understand it myself anyway, but basically creatine exists in your body naturally and aids in production of ATP (provides energy).

Dextrose is just a type of simple sugar. Dextrose is used by some as a post workout supplement I believe. I use prety much any simple sugar I can find, mainly powdered gatorade post workout with my protein shake.

So pedialyte would probably make a great mixture with protein powder as a post workout supplement but is not a replacement for creatine.

FYI, creatine itself is cheap as hell online. dpsnutrition.com or bodybuilding.com have 3 lb tubs for like $10 plus shipping.

I suppose I should have been more specific...

I've read that creatine mixed with a dextrose based product is the most efficient way of pumping the creatine into your muscles. I was not implying that taking dextrose will allow one to stop taking creatine altogether.

Why don't you just buy dextrose? You can buy a gigantic bag of it from places like bodybuilding.com or dpsnutrition. Much cheaper than pedialyte.

Also, I don't think it makes any difference.

i buy dextrose from the bulk food store for way less than any pedialyte product could ever hope to be.

If you can find it the gatorade powder has dextrose in it. I just get my stuff from bodybuilding.com though.
