- Product Information
Dextrose Monohydrate, often known as D-glucose monohydrate, is the sugar found in the bloodstream. It is the brain’s primary energy source and has been shown to enhance brain function.
It is necessary for glycosylation, energy production, and the synthesis of glycans, which give cells their structural integrity. Glucose contributes to the post-translational modifications of proteins through glycation or non-enzymatic glycosylation of proteins at the lysine residues. Glycation causes cataracts, aging, diabetes mellitus, and issues related to Alzheimer’s disease.
Moreover, glucose is used to maintain the water balance of tissues and cells and to cure or prevent hypoglycemia. This molecule can be found in many foods, such as honey, corn syrup, molasses, fruits, and fruit juices.
