I found the product very good, very soluble, no problem with mixing in my protein shaker. I am delighted with it.

WHAT IS WAXY MAIZE STARCH?
BULK POWDERS™ Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) is one of 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 is an extremely fast absorbing carbohydrate; faster than both dextrose and maltodextrin. This makes it the preferred option for after exercise when delivery of nutrients really matters.
Waxy Maize Starch 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!
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.
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!
What’s more, BULK POWDERS™ Waxy Maize Starch is the lowest price in Europe.

Great for performance Review by James
-
I take this post workout and feel I recover faster. I always consume pre-workout for more energy. Top product, no better source of quick carbs. Although unflavoured tastes unpleasant, but it does the job and that's all I want. (Posted on 26/01/2017)

I take this in combination with hydrolisd whey pre and post workout. It works very well for me. It fuels my workouts and aids in recovery. (Posted on 18/10/2015)

Little taste and fast acting Review by Julia Abenes
-
I lift weights for some quit long sessions, and dont eat carbs all day.
I go by the principal that I can only have carbs when I deserve them, and that is when I use Waxy-maize-starch circa midway in my work out.
Great product and good price. (Posted on 03/05/2015)

Must Buy - you will not be dissapointed! Review by Monmon
-
I purchased this as I wanted to increase my carb intake to gain weight. I combine this with whey protein isolate post workout and have seen a massive difference in my gains and m body recovers better. I have been taking this since last year and honestly swear by it!
Doesn't really have significant taste as I add it to protein with flavour and sometimes add in a few teaspoons of nesquick. Anyone wanting to gain size and not 'fat' I reccomend taking this post workout with whey protein isolate with the combination of a clean good diet and weight training. (Posted on 20/04/2015)

OK but not very soluble Review by Carl
-
Good points: no taste and not sweet so easily combines with any flavouring.
Bad points: not very soluble e.g. Blocks bite valve if used with a blender and settles out at the bottom of sports bottle.
Maltodextrin is more convenient. Hard to tell which is better in terms of fuelling. (Posted on 19/10/2014)

It's carbs, what more can I say Review by Tony
-
I am not that keen on the taste, I have only just started taking this product so I'll see how it pans out over the next few weeks, I might mix in a bit of juice concentrate, doesn't taste anything like orange like a few have said. (Posted on 03/10/2014)

Good product and great service Review by Gavin
-
As usual, Bulk Powders has provided excellent customer service, with super fast deliveries.
On to the product itself; it mixes really well in a mixing bottle, no lumps whatsoever.
Flavourwise, it's not bad, but it's not great either. I don't know where people are getting the orange flavour from (maybe it's my dodgy taste buds from too many hot curries). The closest I can get to describing it is if you leave a glass of water out over night and then drink it, kind of stale (still drinkable though). (Posted on 06/01/2014)

Works \ Needs masking Review by Sean

Gives a good pump and mixes well with a custom intra workout drink. This will need some juice concentrate added tho, alone it tastes terrible. (Posted on 28/08/2012)

Top bombing Review by Anonymous

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. (Posted on 11/04/2012)

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.

Top Stuff! Review by waheed akhtar
-
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! (Posted on 11/04/2012)

Review by James Dunn

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! (Posted on 11/04/2012)
