What is Organic Dextrose Powder?
Organic Dextrose is a naturally occurring simple sugar (monosaccharide) derived from organic corn or other organic starch sources. Dextrose is chemically identical to glucose and is commonly used as an energy source in the body, making it a vital component in various food, beverage, and supplement applications. Our Organic Dextrose is available in two specifications: Organic Dextrose Monohydrate and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous. Both are certified organic by USDA and EU standards, ensuring they are free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and GMOs, providing a clean, high-quality product.
Organic Dextrose Monohydrate is the hydrated form of dextrose, meaning it contains one molecule of water. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a mild sweetness and neutral odor. This form is commonly used in baking and confectionery due to its ability to enhance texture and maintain moisture. Its lower sweetness level compared to sucrose makes it an excellent choice for recipes where a subtle sweetness is desired. Additionally, Organic Dextrose Monohydrate acts as a preservative, extending the shelf life of baked goods and candies by preventing crystallization and maintaining softness.
Organic Dextrose Anhydrous, on the other hand, is the dehydrated form of dextrose and does not contain any water molecules. This specification appears as a white crystalline powder with a very sweet taste. It is highly soluble in water and is often used in applications that require a quick source of energy, such as sports drinks, energy bars, and medical formulations. Its higher sweetness intensity makes it an ideal substitute for traditional sugar in beverages and syrups, providing the desired sweetness without the extra calories.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified by USDA and EU organic standards, ensuring the dextrose is free from pesticides, chemicals, and GMOs.
- Fast Energy Source: Dextrose is quickly absorbed by the body and rapidly converted into glucose, providing immediate energy for physical activity, brain function, and recovery.
- Low Glycemic Index: Dextrose has a higher glycemic index than other sugars, making it a fast source of glucose for those needing quick energy replenishment during or after exercise.
- Non-GMO & Gluten-Free: Sourced from organic corn, ensuring it is non-GMO and suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
- Versatile: Available in both monohydrate and anhydrous forms, making it adaptable for various applications across the food, beverage, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Health Benefits:
- Rapid Energy Boost: Organic Dextrose is metabolized quickly by the body, providing a fast energy source that can help restore glycogen levels, improve physical performance, and enhance endurance during intense exercise or activity.
- Supports Recovery: As a simple sugar, dextrose promotes faster recovery by replenishing glycogen stores in muscles after exercise, which is vital for preventing fatigue and improving post-workout recovery.
- Maintains Blood Sugar Levels: Dextrose can help stabilize blood sugar levels, making it useful for athletes, individuals with low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and those recovering from intense exertion.
- Improved Digestibility: Easily digestible and absorbed, Organic Dextrose is ideal for individuals with sensitive stomachs or those looking for a quick, easily absorbed source of carbohydrates.
- Ideal for Glycogen Loading: Dextrose is commonly used in pre- or post-workout drinks and supplements to optimize glycogen stores in muscles before intense activity or for faster recovery afterward.
