The Window August 17 2004 at 3:18 PM WL   (no login) Dogs and humans differ in the way they process Carbohydrates. Their needs for carbs differ as well. In this case we are using the simple carb (glucose -dextrose a simple carb thats an energy source in ANY living organism) as a TRANSPORT vehicle rather than as an energy source per se. These are from articles I ripped off from Doctors and trainers smarter than I. These were written for humans but I truly believe the 30min window and the glucose transport vehicle works the same with dogs. I have used these principles on my dogs with great results You have 30min post workout to give your charge the power shake he-she needs. Whey Isolate(not blend), Creatine, L Glutamine and 1000mg of Ester C. Post-workout your dog's body is a literal sponge. In a highly catabolic state it will soak up anything you give it! Simple Carbohydrates:   During the post-workout phase of training your dog's body is in a hypoglycemic stage. Blood-sugar and insulin levels have drastically dropped. Immediately following exercise natural GH concentrations struggle to increase as insulin levels try to rebound from its current highly catabolic state.   A simple carbohydrate supplement combined with the post-workout window of opportunity will give immediate rise to blood glucose levels and cause a state of hyperglycemia. This will force a increase in the production of insulin!
