Glucose 10% Supplies

Post by stretchplay »

Hey guys. We’ve been doing a fair bit of G5 but would really like to try experimenting with Glucose 10% now. So far we’ve had all our supplies from Praxisdienst but they don’t seem to sell 10%.

Any one have a recommendation on how to get the right supplies or take an alternative approach like making yourself? I’ve seen some posts but tbh it sounded complicated. Perhaps that’s just me needing to study it a bit more though!

Any help really appreciated.

Not sure where you are, but there is a Canadian supplier. Dextrose and Glucose have the same effect and can be used interchangeably

Thanks so much for sharing. We're in the UK so I'm guessing that shipping won't work for us but really appreciate the suggestion!

Have you ever tried Dextrose 5% with .9 saline solution? When you get that solution already mixed in the bag, the swell is significantly more than just Dextrose 5% by itself. Dextrose 5% premixed with lactated ringers also gives a similar effect. I recommend this because yes, dextrose 10 is very difficult to get, and it's less harmful to your blood sugar than dex10

So I can use G5 with saline to get a bigger result, swelling than with only G5…

Correct, but you need to get the bag that already has both of those together
