Thread: maxy paste? or something like that ??? POST WORKOUT NUTRITION

what is it?

i used to be all about shakes and stuff post work out but now i find myself just eating real food

waxy maize is a starchy complex carbohydrate

supposedly it passes straight through the stomach and is absorbed very rapidly by the small intestine carrying aminos and such along with it

rapidly increases the volume of blood in the circulatory system

all of which happens more rapidly that malto or dextros

and i guess the insulin response isnt extreme either for some reason...

bump

suppose to be the bomb.

any suggestions on how to take it?

i honestly felt the substance take effect first use

wow...
i feel like an idiot

i could have ordered from sbmuscle and it would have been cheaper
and it would have been optimum nutrition brand (we all know puts out top quality products)


ON Glycomaize 4.4 Pounds

Ons glycomaize is okay. i use it as my pre and post workout carbohydrate and I dont get a bloat off it like I do with dextrose, which is real nice. its cheap, and its a carbohydrate. win win

I tried waxy maize from both IDS and Optimum long time ago. I liked Optimum better. It mixes well in the water, while IDS settles at the bottom.

i havnt noticed that in mine yet

would mixing it with my current preworkout (NO shotgun) effect the absorption rate?



NO Shotgun

maybe? I wouldnt worry about it too much. If you want to take it then take it. I like it because its not sugar.

Been using ON Glycomaize for the last 3-4 months. It's tastleless and mixes well with protein powder and water. No problems with diarrhea or bloating.

turns out i couldnt find much at all

I am currently writing an article on the topic. Short answer, it's no better then maltodextrin and or dextrose. Stay tuned....

which just means its better than sugar,
and on par with the best post workout carbs available??

how does the price compare?
ive never even looked at malto or dex.

dextrose is sugar, and maltodextrin is just sugar strung together essentially.

if I didnt use WMS id use oats

ive always used oats in the past...
but i was told (then read)
that wms is absorbed much more rapidly

It does, because it lacks the fiber and materials other than just carbs that oats have.

however, were my options dextrose or oats, oats would be my number 1 choice

what about dextrose is not to your liking?

I bloat like a whale when I eat sugar, and diabetes runs STRONG on both sides of my family, so I avoid sugar whenever possible. I feel cleaner and lighter on WMS than I do on dextrose. my stomach doesnt feel as weighed down.

All false. Article will clarify. WMS does not do anything sellers claim it does.

so it doesnt absorb any faster than rolled oats?

somehow I dont believe that whatsoever. HOWEVER, I am very interested to read your article, as you have quite the brain.

BTW brink front squats are workin out great for me

He was not comparing it to rolled outs. I think he was just throwing out there it's supposed to be absorbed quickly (compared to other common carbs used like maltodextrin, dextrose, etc) which is not the case. I agree, I bet it's quicker then oats, but it has not been compared either. Apples and oranges really. Oats are used by people who dont want a big glucose/insulin spike and WMS is used by those who do, although dextrose and malto are superior to WMS for that use. There's one that blows them all away, and I will cover that too.
