What is "dextrose"?
Dextrose, also known as glucose, is a simple sugar and one of the primary sources of energy for living organisms. It consists of a single sugar molecule, and is chemically classified as a carbohydrate. Dextrose is commonly found in various foods, particularly fruits, honey, and starchy vegetables, as well as in processed foods and beverages as a sweetening agent. In the body, dextrose serves as a quick and readily available source of energy, as it can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by cells for fuel. It is also used in medical settings, such as intravenous solutions, to provide energy to patients who cannot consume food orally.
