I don’t suppose Hydrolyzed rice syrup (or Dextrose) occurs naturally in any food types?Does good post work out nutrition require a trip to the supplement store or will certain foods suffice?

I think I said that right?) than standard glucose/dextrose/maltodextrin etc, which means it practically bypasses digestion and gets into your blood-stream super fast.
I've read about Hydrolyzed Rice Syrup and I'm interested in trying it out to see if it gives improved recovery, but when I google it all I find are a couple of expensive bodybuilder's supplements like 'Omega One' and a couple of others. Anyone know if this stuff's available by itself without the rest of the expensive junk thrown in? Where did you get your HRS from?
I can't seem to find Hydrolyzed Rice Syrup anywhere. I've found Dextrose on myprotein, looks cheap enough. I understand it doesn’t taste great, will flavoured whey protein hide the taste?On a more important note, how much simple carbohydrate/dextrose/HRS/sugar is recommended post workout?
