Waxy Maize Starch

Waxy Maize Starch is another shitty product supplement company's sell claiming it digests faster than maltodextrin or dextrose. The the fact of the matter is that waxy maize starch or what it really should be called Corn Starch also contains resistant carbs. Resistant carbs are exactly what they meain. the body CANNOT digest them. They RESIST them.

Here is a post I found on the forum of a company that sell's Corn starch..(whoops I mean waxy maize starch) The woman is posting that she feels like shit after she drink her waxy maize starch.....

Preferring malto/dex to WMS
I order two separate PWO custom mixes, one for me and one for my husband (as we prefer different flavors, and he gets creatine). In the interest of full disclosure, I get 35% dextrose, 30% maltodextrin, and 35% WPI. He gets 60% WMS, 35% WPI, and 5% creatine. I ran out of mine before he ran out of his, so while waiting on my next order to arrive I used some of his.

Anyway, every time I use the WMS blend, I feel like crap afterward. I really feel the blood sugar crash post-WMS. After the malto/dex blend, I feel just fine. Not sure why this is, but I will definitely continue ordering the malto/dex.

"I recently had my blood glucose insulin interaction tested and the results were that I am within the normal range, but still sub-optimal. Also, I am hypothyroid, and before I was diagnosed and started on the Synthroid I felt the crash from the malto/dex too. Since getting on the meds I now can do malto/dex with no problem but still feel like s@#$ after the WMS blend.

Anyway, thought this might be helpful to anyone who has a similar problem with WMS."

No one from the company answers her except for the moderator on this forum who posts this.

"lets keep in mind we're all taking about the same thing. carbs. the only thing that is really going to make one "work better" is what you are most comfortable taking."

Here's the answer to help this lady. "The product(s) that you are taking are made from starch. You feel like crap because you body trying to expel the heavy starch ingredients you just drank. Its not natural and you are feeling a direct effect from consuming highly resistant food products. If you must consume a carb powder postworkout use dextrose or something like gatorade. A rice carbohydrate would be best.

The name "Waxy Maize Starch" in itself isn't all that appetizing. Every time I see it I think that it's like eating powdered crayon, and from your description, it sounds like that's not far from how indigestible it is.

before coming here, I ordered WMS from another site based on reviews of the idiots on that forum. I mixed it with OJ and it was like the thick starch that mom would use at Thanksgiving to make gravy.

I used it a few times because the aftermath was just not worth it, if you catch my drift
