Fructose is also a no when it comes to post workout nutrition.

OK - i can understand that fructose isn't a high GI carb and so not ideal PWO, but if you're also ingesting high GI carbs like maltodextrin, is ingesting fructose alongside 'bad' somehow? I ask because i mix my PWO protein and carbs in apple juice.

Ideally this athlete would consume the carbohydrates from a 50% mix of dextrose to 50% maltodextrin

Could somebody please explain why you need to use both dextrose and maltodextrin? I can't appreciate what a mix would offer over one or the other straight. I've only ever dumped in maltodextrin into my PWO shake.

Also scooped out and placed in the shake should be 5-10g creatine along with 5-20 grams of l-glutamine.

Do most protein powders not already have sufficient amounts of this amino acid in them, or is it best to supplement extra?
Any and all help is hugely appreciate as always!
Thanks guys and thanks Pscarb for the original article.
