What is Organic Dextrose Powder?
Organic dextrose powder is a natural, plant-based carbohydrate derived from non-GMO corn, offering a clean, rapid energy source for food, beverage, and supplement formulations. As a simple sugar (glucose), it provides quick sweetness and energy replenishment while aligning with organic and clean-label trends.
Our dextrose is double-certified organic (USDA and EU Organic), ensuring compliance with strict agricultural and processing standards. Available in two specialized forms—Organic Dextrose Monohydrate (contains bound water) and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous (water-free)—this versatile ingredient caters to diverse industrial needs, from sports nutrition to baked goods and pharmaceutical tablets.
Key Highlights
- High-Purity Energy Source:
- ≥99.5% Dextrose Purity: Fast-acting carbohydrate for instant energy replenishment.
- Low Glycemic Index (GI 100): Matches glucose’s metabolic efficiency.
- Dual Formats for Precision:
- Monohydrate: Contains 8-10% bound water for stability in baked goods and IV solutions.
- Anhydrous: <1% moisture, ideal for dry blends and hygroscopic formulations.
- Clean & Certified: USDA Organic, EU Organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free.

FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between dextrose monohydrate and anhydrous?
A: Monohydrate contains bound water (8-10%), ideal for moisture-sensitive recipes. Anhydrous is water-free, perfect for dry mixes or high-heat processing.
Q: Is organic dextrose suitable for diabetics?
A: While organic dextrose is a natural glucose source, it has a high glycemic index. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Q: Can I use dextrose in vegan products?
A: Yes! Our dextrose is 100% plant-based and cruelty-free.
Q: Which variant is better for protein powders?
A: Anhydrous dextrose blends seamlessly into dry mixes without clumping.
Q: How does organic dextrose compare to regular table sugar?
A: Dextrose is pure glucose (simpler structure), while table sugar (sucrose) is glucose + fructose. Dextrose absorbs faster for quick energy.
