Waxy Maize Starch

Does the job

Its a better alternative to other fast carbs like dextrose or Maltodextrin, because you are less likely to put on weight from it. Don't listen those bro-scientists who claim that it is just a corn flour. I have tried both and this is digested much quicker, because it is more processed. Ideal refueling gun for post-workout. It mixes well, you do not even need a shaker, spoon will do. So, if you want to take fast carbs after workout, but not risk putting on fat, than this is the way to go. It is quite expensive, but thing about how much you waste on many useless things. This at least has a purpose.

great products and service

I have been using "Myprotein" products for 4 years now. rotating different products in to help with a variety of different diets both during bulking and cutting cycles. They have a wide range of well engineered supplements and training aids that if you do the correct research can all play an essential role in achieving your training goals. I managed to fumble my way through different products with other supplement companies and reached my target weight of 18 stone by the age of 18. However I was not a very well shaped 18 stone. There was a lot of excess bulk and at the wrong angle you could mistake me for someone who had done very little if any training at all. I had been focused on just bulking and put on a lot of the wrong type of weight. Since using Myprotein supplements and reading up on all the helpful hints and dieting tips they provide on there website I am now 23 years of age and sitting comfortable at 21 stone 2 and have a body fat of just 12%. Thanks a lot to all the staff at Myprotein for all their help and guidance.

Good product at a good price

Slight chalky taste but barely noticeable. Mixes easily in shaker cup and cheaper than other suppliers especially when on discount.

Perfect Product

Does exactly what it says, has absolutely no flavour, it does have a chalky texture, but mix it with your BCAA or Creatine and it's easy. 44 grams of carbs, perfect bulking supplement ! Just ordered another bag.

Does what it says on the pack

Easy to mix into a shake and good amount of carbs, helps me hit my daily macros easily. Can be a bit gritty in taste, but might just be as I make my shakes quite thick with little water. Doesn't taste like anything so easy to drink.

Good powder

After trying dextrose which was just sugar basically. I tried waxy maize starch. Found it to be very good as it tastes fine and mixes easily with my Shake. Great for getting carbs in. It can make a mess though, would recommend buying a MyProtein tub to pour it into as you can scoop it out easier without making a mess.

Best carb source despite drawbacks

Compared to Maltodextrin, this is more expensive, mixable only by using a mixer and has a slight hint of a maize / vegetable / disgust taste, it is still by far the better - I would even argue the best - carb powder. The reason is the much lower glycemic index, which means that the sugar chains are longer and harder to break down. This means a more consistent blood sugar. Aside from reducing the chance of type 2 diabetes, I can feel the difference. With this, I feel constantly energetic throughout the day. There is no fullness after meals or low blood sugar between meals. I found this to be slightly better tasting than the competitors bulkpowders and theproteinworks. This is the carb source in my diy Soylent, so I have been eating more than 250g of this daily for the last couple of months. I do not understand why this is marketed as a fast acting carbohydrate or why it is marketed as such. Fast acting carbs = blood sugar variation which makes you more tired and more prone to type 2 diabetes!

Not suitable for me! Had a stomack pain and diarrhea! So If you have a weak digestive system this product is not for you!

WAXY MAIZE STARCH

I was a bit dubious about buying this at first as it appeared to be a 'magical substance'. I used this for three months and after this period I loaded on 16lbs of mass! At first I was producing around 1/2lbs per week. This is a great post-workout supplement, add 2.5 scoops to your protein shake. This works out around 500 Kcal 0g Fat 120G carbs

So far so good

I ordered the Waxy Maize Starch on the advise of my Personal Trainer who uses it. The product arrived on time and is easy to use and mix with my protein shake. The taste is pretty good too! It's too early to tell the results as I have only been taking it for around a week, however the signs are encouraging.

Waxy maize

As a long distance cyclist I need to get a burst of energy without stopping and waxy maize mixed in with water and orange squash has been a really good addition to my cycling routine. No need to fiddle with energy bars ( not easy when riding),I can just reach down for my bottle and get the energy I need.

"Brilliant product, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Mixes well, the texture of the shake tastes weird first time but once you get used to it its actually pretty good, thickens the shake up and dilutes the flavour of whey powders which are otherwise strong. Good source of fast digesting carbs AND SUGAR FREE! GLUTEN FREE! NO ITS NOT LIKE WHITE BREAD. NO GLUTEN. NO DAIRY. NO SUGAR. perfect product. "

"I love this stuff, yes it is just corn flour but a this price and in theses sizes its a must have for any post-workout shake, fast acting SUGAR FREE Carbohydrates, cant find a negative. Also it thickens up my shakes, i only use 70g in with 30g of impact whey deluex and it tasts amazing! "

25 April 2012 by Chris Charlton

"great value for money and yes it doesn't taste the best when drunk on its own but i mix it with my PWO protein and its fine although a little messy to use. i saw somebody has mentioned that it is simply corn flour,which,is true but the price is fine and i am yet to find somewhere who sells corn flour in sacks. In my view this is no more expensive."

"I never drank stand alone as I mix with my post workout which is Total Protein. As far as Ive seen mixed well, taste well with total protein. I am absolutely happy with purchase! I would 100% recomend this product. Specially post workout as your sugar levels goes down."

13 October 2011 by evrim tufekcioglu

Bought some of this and am having problems finding the right ratio of water to powder cos i find it goes really lumpy and you get lumps of powder. Tried drinking it with water and squash and thought it had an alright taste but had a texture like jelly and lumps of pure powder which made it a chore to drink. Any recommendations would appreciate them :)

"This stuff may work, but it's a nightmare to use because it's so fine. Tends to get all over every surface including the clothes your wearing when you try to scoop it into a mixer. Personally I've taken to mixing it in the garage. May try to combine with whey protein in a large container to improve the situation."

10 May 2011 by JOHN YOUNG

"Good Post workout product for those who are wishing to gain lean muscle. Taste very funny as you can feel the powder on your tongue can make some people feel sick, but if you drink a little water you should feel better. Overall good product. (make your own weight gainer by adding protein and creatine)"

"Best post-workout carb!! WMS' advance is its big molecular mass, absorbs quicker than other carbs; it restores glycogen stores faster than any other carb. Also it will not make you feel bloated like dextrose does. Because WMS is absorbed so quickly, it helps improve the absorption of other supplements as well."

8 January 2011 by Sauli Tuokko

"great product, ideal with some whey protein after a heavy workout, doesn't bloat either! Tasteless so adding a bit of Nesquik works great for a tasty shake, thanks MP, top service and products :)"

27 December 2010 by Stewart Long

I don't see any problem with the taste or mixing.. use enough water and some squash (I like lemon).

28 October 2010 by Stewart Simkins

terrible....tastes worse than ma girlfriends cooking movin back to dextrose

14 September 2010 by andrew gourlay

I bought a 2.5kg bag and I think this stuff is brill! Used it during football and my weights session and its easy to drink and doesn't give you any cramps or pain when you have during a workout; even football or running. No bloating and low GI. When I first got it I thought it tasted weird but I can easily have it on its own because it doesn't taste of much. If you struggle with that just use some flavouring or a drop of Robinsons and your ready to go. Mixes fine. I will certainly buy again.

18 August 2010 by andrew watson

This product is absolute crap. It is finely ground corn flour. You would be better off cooking with it. Don't do as I did by trying to save a few quid - go for the real slow release carb option that is Vitargo. Myprotein shame on you for promoting a product as something that is advanced when we can buy simple corn flour in any major supermarket for a fraction of the price. This is about as effective to a sportsman as eating a batch of heavy scones right before a competition. Gut busting.

6 August 2010 by Andrew Springgay

"It certainly isn't tasteless, i was using malto and whey but bought some more supplements now i'm taking it more seriously and had egg white protein and this in a shake and gagged, obviously i assumed it was the egg white protein that tasted rank but it's actually this. It's also got a horrible chalky texture. As with all most things i'm used to it now but i definitely don't enjoy drinking it."

27 July 2010 by Luke Parker

This is the business! I used to use Maltodextrin post work out but gave this a go after reading up about it. It's twice as much as Maltodextrin but it's even better! Mixes so well and is very light on the stomach! Awesome for post workout recovery!

7 April 2010 by Top stuff!

"I was recommended to try using a carbohydrate shake as I run regularly and reading this found it stated for post workout consumption. I have found taking 50g in 8mls of water just before a run gives a great boost taking away the tired early feelings. I have taken after it blended oats in milk which kicks in nicely after the wma wears off for my longer runs. Over 40mins i have taken wma again to boost and found it works well not giving any signs of bloating. Found it non tasting and as only mixed with a little water easy to swallow, but mixing with ordinary squash adds flavour if required. Certainly helping my pb goals increase so can only recommend. More importantly just enjoy your training :-)"

18 February 2010 by Running

"Benefits are that the taste is bland and no bloating. However, post workout you might be better off sticking with malto or dextrose as Waxy Maize may not be quite what it has been marketed to be (i.e. a rapidly absorbed carb source)."

13 January 2010 by Maybe not best for post workout

"This is awesome. The best form of carbs for taking during a workout. \n\nUnlike Maltrodextrine and Dextrose, WMS will not make you bloated. You can still take it pre and post workout. \n\nI never use Maltrodextrine and Dextrose since I found that.\n\nI train MMA and we do a lot of grappling, hence lot of rolling around, this prevent you from puking all your carbs on the mat!"

28 October 2009 by Best carbs

"Tried this for 6 weeks, saw absolutely no improvement in performance. It is like flour and you have to be careful as it can get all over your clothes. Therefore very impractical. Taste isn't too good either. I'm sticking to dextrose."

31 July 2009 by No benefits

"I tried a KG because of all the positive replies on here. I read an interesting article online on the actual scientific evidence for WMS, there isn't that much tbh :s I did not get hit with a huge energy burst like many people on here have found. I tried it post workout and also I tried it when playing football at half time. Doesn't seem to bloat at all. The taste is bland, and very grainy, creates a lot of mess because its texture is a lot like talcum powder so be careful when opening and using scoops etc. The aftertaste is strong, its not pleasant but not horrid either."

12 July 2009 by Jury is still out

"this stuff is amazing, i can kill myslef in the gym, head to the changing rooms for one of these then want to head straight back into the gym, its amazing.\nalso works as a great half time shake for rugby, its really light and gives absolutely no cramping.\n\na lot of people underestimate the importance of carbohydrates over proteins in pw/o shakes, this is perfect for replenishing all the energy you lose in exercise and start recovery asap."
