What Is Dextrose? Dextrose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in many foods such as honey and fruit. The more complex carbohydrates in other foods must be broken down into dextrose in the body before they can be used to provide energy for optimal functioning of the human body and brain. Dextrose and glucose are not the same. Dextrose is a monosaccharide glucose that occurs naturally in a very pure form. Because it has a very high glycemic index, dextrose can be absorbed and used very quickly by the body. For this reason, many athletes use dextrose to quickly replace the glycogen stores in the muscles which are depleted during exercise.
