Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) is a long chain complex starch based carbohydrate which has good solubility and a neutral taste.
WMS has a high molecular weight and low osmolality which allows it to travel rapidly through the digestive system. This leads to a much faster glycogen and nutrient uptake, compared to other carbs without any bloating or water retention.
Whilst there is no reputable scientific research to back up the claims that it is superior to other carbs such as dextrose or maltodextrin, anecdotally many gym users/fitness enthusiasts agree that WMS is superior from their experience.
Therefore the best time to consume WMS is during or post workout with other nutrients such as Creatine, Glutamine, Hydrolysed Protein & BCAA.
Whilst the results with Waxy Maize Starch are anecdotal, users can experience:
- Increased speed of glycogen replenishment
- Improved glycogen synthesis
- Increased nutrient uptake
- No bloating
Mix 50g of Waxy Maize Starch (one heaped scoop) into 500ml of water.
Best consumed during or after sustained strenuous exercise, to assist with energy, recovery and glycogen replenishment.
