Waxy Maize Starch is one of the more recent sports carbohydrates to hit the performance nutrition market. Waxy Maize is an extremely fast absorbing carbohydrate, which rapidly shuttles vital nutrients such as amino acids to the muscles in order to kickstart muscle growth and repair. In terms of absorption speed, Waxy Maize Starch is faster than both dextrose and maltodextrin, making it the preferred option for after exercise when delivery of nutrients really matters.
Waxy Maize Starch Information
BP Basics Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) is the latest ‘sports carbohydrate’ to reach the market. It is a white powder with fair solubility and a neutral taste. Despite its fairly recent rise to fame, WMS is already used by professional athletes around the world, because… it works!
Waxy Maize Starch is an extremely fast acting carbohydrate. It has the lowest osmolality (the lower the osmolality of a starch, the faster it will be utilised) of any carbohydrate available on the market, meaning that it passes through the stomach and into the intestines (where energy uptake occurs) extremely quickly. It has actually been shown that WMS passes through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose!
Why use BP Basics Waxy Maize Starch?
Because of its low osmolality, Waxy Maize Starch is superior to other fast-acting carbohydrates such as dextrose because it can restore glycogen levels so much faster. Its low osmolality enables it to pass through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose and consequently restore muscle glycogen (muscle energy) 70% faster! Take WMS immediately after a workout/exercise with products like Whey Protein, Creatine or Amino Acids. Its fast action mechanism will shuttle these important nutrients to the muscles faster than any other carbohydrate resulting in improved growth and recovery!
Waxy Maize Starch is only in the stomach for a very short period of time, so causes no stomach discomfort! As a result it can be taken pre, during and immediately post-workout without any problems! It does not draw precious water from the bodies reserves, in fact it can actually increase the bloodstream’s water content!
We are Europe’s lowest priced supplier of Waxy Maize Starch!
Directions
As has been noted Waxy Maize Starch can be taken pre, during and immediately post-workout due to its hypotonic nature. However it is best used immediately post-workout because of its fast-acting properties. Take approximately 50-60g of WMS either on its own or add it to your existing post-workout drink.

Been using this for 3 weeks now. Tastes ok as it is, but i use liquiflav to flavour it (strawberry is good !). I am recovering quicker after training, and my muscles seem to feel and look 'fuller' all the time. Didn't notice much in the first week but stick with it and it starts to pay off after that. Will continue to use this indefinately now. Have already recommended this to my friends (and Bulkpowders in general - service is top notch) and will continue to do so.

this product tastes absolutely amazing. it's the first drink i've ever actually looked forward to after a workout and would drink it throughout the day if i could! has definately helped my training too, am recovering faster and people have been commenting that i am looking bigger recently, maximaize is the only new supplement i have been taking so i put it down to this!

Taste wise i cant fault it. Really nice mild orange flavour, infact a lovely orange flavor. Mixed one scoop (60g) with 40 g of unflavoured whey.
\
\
Mixed is using a shaker and it mixed fine. No lumps or anything.
\
\
thumbs up so far!
\
\
I will continue to use for the next month and post a final review then

Really impressed by this...I use it PWO and find myself feeling tighter and fuller as opposed to using malto or dextrose as I have done for years now. Easy mixing, I always use a blender but the other day we had a powercut so shook it up and it mixed perfectly. Nice orange taste too..refreshing. BP get some more flavours in!

Great product, no bloating or discomfort what so ever. Don't feel like crawling home as much after training. Solubility is good but leaves a kind of coating on your teeth which is a bit weird. Give it a go!
