DEXTROSE THE BEST POST-WORKOUT CARB SOURCE
Consuming pure glucose—also called dextrose—after a workout means the body doesn't need to digest it. Because post-workout glucose can be absorbed into the bloodstream almost as quickly as it's ingested, it gets to your spent muscles as rapidly as possible, resulting in the quickest and most complete replenishment of muscle glycogen. This will keep muscles stocked with ample glycogen for your next workout and pull water into your muscle cells, maximizing your muscle size.

I didn't fully understand exactly what the Dextrose stuff is about

Why Dextrose?
A common question here is "Why the use of Dextrose?" Some are worried, as previously mentioned, about the calorie issue. The fact is that the body is going to destroy those calories to fuel the muscles post-workout. Dextrose is used because it has a high glycemic index. When you utilize dextrose in your post-workout shake you're going to get a heavy insulin spike.
That insulin spike is what you want because it creates a chemical stir in the brain. A trigger occurs that shifts the way the body processes the nutrients. Because your muscles take the frontline over fat stores due to their depleted energy stores, the nutrients you take in - including the carbs like Dextrose - head straight for the muscles to be used. This is essential to getting your muscles into a state where they start the healing process quickly.
Certain sugars (carbs) are used in your body to restore muscle glycogen and are better suited for that. Others are not. Dextrose is noted to be a perfect source for restoring those glycogen stores as it has the high glycemic index and it's quickly digested. Other carbs like apple juice, which contain mainly fructose, don't restore muscle glycogen. Instead it fills the liver glycogen stores, offering no benefit to your muscles at all.

theres a fair bit more on that page. am I right in believing the sweets/dextrose will help the muscles absorb all required nutrition?
