If you want to add in a fast digesting carbohydrate into the mix that's low in sugar such as maltodextrin
Dextrose is better no?
I don't know why, but my body seemed to recover better with maltodextrin than dextrose. Dextrose is great though

and they function in essentially the same manor. Dextrose is considered a monosaccharide ("Simple" carbohydrate) and maltodextrin is considered a polysaccharide ("complex" carbohydrate) but the bonds between the molecules in maltodextrin are so weak it digests in almost the same time. Also quick clarification on the "low in sugar" remark- both dextrose and maltodextrin break down into sugars, i just meant carb sources that require a little bit of digestion to turn into sugars.
The really simple sugars like glucose and fructose that are found in high fructose corn syrup can serve their purpose intraworkout though- i Like to mix gatorade powder with amino acids to sip during lifts.

Hope this helps, just my 2 cents
