what makes combining the 2so much better than just having one or the other?? I'm thinking of just customizing some from TP and having the 50/50mix
 
Extended release of sugars....I believe dextrose is in and out of you faster than that of malto dextrine. Malto gives you a longer release of simple sugars where a all dextrose would be in and out of you too quick.
 
well I guess it all depends on how you set things up. I have a 2nd PWO meal 1 and a 1/2hr after my PWO shake, so dex is about the best thing for the job in my situation...

hmmm I also do the same. I think I may just by 5lbs of each
 
Buffness hit the nail on the head, as did the other response (forgot screen name). 50/50 is beneficial because you dextrose is a high glycemic simple sugar where malto is a high glycemic complex carb source. You get a nice insulin spike w/ both, but dextrose is in and out FAST where as malto takes a bit of time to get out. Fast/slow release. However, if like buffness you have a PWO shake then eat another meal w/in a half hour, all dextrose is acgtually better. Whatever fits yourschedule! Either way there won't be a major difference. I for one prefer white rice Post WO w/ some malto.
 
I doubt the dextros is still there one and a half hours later. Half an hour sure... I don't think it makes much differnce either way, but since they both cost the same amount I don't see a reason not to use the mix.
