Waxy Maize

Waxy Maize Starch is a fast-absorbing carbohydrate designed for use around workouts. This fast absorption super-saturates the cells with water very similarly to how creatine effects water levels in cells. When compared to other forms of carbohydrates, Waxy Maize has been shown to pass through the digestive system much faster than other carbohydrate sources due to it high molecular weight. This fast absorption makes Waxy Maize ideal for mixing with supplements needing help with delivery to the muscles such as creatine and certain amino acids.

This rapidly absorbing carbohydrate pulls nutrients into the muscles when they are needed most: around workouts!

Before hitting the gym you want to make sure your muscles are primed for the best pumps, best strength, and best endurance they can have so each and every workout is maximized for results. Pre-workout when you take your supplements such as creatine, glutamine, and bcaas mix in some Waxy Maize so the body has energy to use during the workout as well as the amino acids needed for growth, recovery, and hormone production.

Waxy Maize is a flavourless carbohydrate naturally so many of the products are flavoured with fruit flavours to improve taste. Some Waxy Maizes come flavourless and go great with some added cordial for taste.

It is best to keep Waxy Maize and Whey Protein separated by about 20 minutes because Whey Protein digests at a slower rate and you do not want to slow down the absorption of the Waxy Maize. Instead drink your Waxy Maize shake with added amino acids and creatine immediately after you are done working out, then wait 20 minutes before drinking your Whey Protein Isolate shake. This will create the best possible environment for maximum glycogen restoration, creatine absorption, and finally muscle recuperation.

Take 1 scoop about 10-15 minutes pre-workout and another immediately afterwards.
