Glucose, a monosaccharide, is one of the most important carbohydrates. The cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. This is why you find this product in a lot of fitness, workout drinks and health/dietary supplements.
Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration. The natural form (D-glucose) is also referred to as dextrose, especially in the food industry.
