Dextrose is a simple sugar. It helps to provide energy if taken before and during workout and it helps to replenish glycogen stores if taken post workout. I would recommend glucose polymers which is a complex carb.

quite noob on this nutrition stuff...one question i read that for protein mass gainer do contains carbs and whey as well. can this be pre workout drink? cause pure whey contains probably 0 carbs so can the mass gainer be a perworkout drink? PRE: one scoop of mass gain (Mass gainer) POST: one scoop of pure whey (ON Gold) I haven't tried it before, but plan to... need some advice.

Often, mass gainers have higher sugar content and pretty low (about 10GMS per scoop) of protein, so it could be a replacement. I generally wouldn't even suggest it, but if you must, then you might want to try to take the scoop pre-workout. Could you throw in a couple grams of carbs into that? Maybe oats or potatoes or yam cakes? That'll be good. My suggestion is that when you're finished with that weight gainer of yours, just buy normal protein and add oats into the serving. That'll up your calories and works quite the same as your average mass gainer. Minus the extra cost and sugar.

Check this out, if we want to talk about whey protien, there's so many kind of fomulation. That fomulation determains when it should be taken. For example, Whey Isolate is best to be taken after workout because it would be absorbted faster and for whom of ya'll that take if before sleep should change it. Cassein should be taken before bed cause its a slow realise protien. The best way to gain is always by natural food, all supplement like True-Mass, ON's, Universal Nutritons and so on are just supplement.Its not a must unless your workout a lot and need to recover faster. Our body also need sugar to provides energy.

Mass Gainers are best taken postworkout. Cytosport Cytogainer's pretty good but it's a tad expensive.

This is a question about Cytogainer:
I mix 2 serve (6-7 scoop) of Cytogainer into a 1.2l bottle in the morning. then drink half the bottle between breakfast-lunch, and the other half during tea time.
WIll there be any decline of the effectiveness as I mix them so many hours ahead?

You take your protein shake at least 2 hours prior to an exercise and another serving within 30 mins after an exercise.

B comp is needed to convert/ breakdown food into energy. Therefore it speed up your recovery. And make sure you take your anti oxidants together with Bs. Fast recovery is key to muscle growth.
