I've read that taking dextrose with creative helps your body absorb it, along with dissolving it in warm water. Also, dextrose digests quickly to replenish your glycogen post workout. I think it was 20 grams of dextrose post workout with creative. Pretty sure pixie sticks were what was mentioned but Gatorade had dextrose as its carb source as well. 42 g of carbs in protein sounds more like a mass gainer to me.
