I heard that Corn starch is the same thing as waxy maze is this true?
I heard that Corn starch is the same thing as waxy maze is this true? Isn't waxy maze the same thing ? Can anybody tell me what the difference is between Waxy Maze and regular Cornstarch? Can we just take in Cornstarch Pre and Post workout?

I believe they are technically the same, but WMS is processed slightly different.

No waxy maize is more heavy then corn starch, one of the reason I believe whys its absorbed quicker through the gut of the stomach.

prove its not the same.
Any one can claim its not the same ,nobody has yet to dispell the hypothesis that they are different.

wouldn't testing your blood glucose levels at small intervals after ingesting the same quantity tell you the absorbtion rate?

Just saying they are not the same doesn't explain shit. What is the difference? Of what I hear they are the exact same thing. Personally I would rather eat my carbs then drink a carb drink, its more satisfying and I don't believe they is any real visual difference in muscle reloading.

I drink my carbs as alcohol.
Maybe I'll call it waxy Rye coke.

I tried a google search and got answers ranging from it's the same thing just called waxy maize in one country and corn starch in another.To the waxy maize is missing a molecule that normal maize (corn) starch has so it absorbs faster. (which is what I'd read before and thought was the truth).
To be perfectly honest, I figure I'm not going to the olympia any time soon. Or even competing. So the small amount off difference it might make to me to replace dextrose with waxy maize won't bother me. But I feel the same about all the supplements out there. If I was hell bent on ultimate performance and wanted 100% best results then I'd consider using it.
But hey, each to their own, a lot of bodybuilders want any edge they can get and are all about ultimate results and performance, so even a 0.5% difference is worth it to them.
