Waxy Maize Starch

[TR'05]

Well my WMS was delivered from TP today. First off, never again will I be a cheap skate and opt for the free food grade bag...this stuff is MESSY...I transfered the ten pounds from the bag into tupper ware containers and am now covered in it...I feel like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets.


I have tried most everything else for PWO, including whole meals, dex, bagel, dex/malto...Up until today I was using dex. I have been hearing some good things about WMS from a number of boards; therefore, after my next workout, I will make the switch and will update in a week, or two.

"WMS has the ability to replenish the body’s glycogen stores much faster than a mix of maltodextrin or dextrose. This is accomplished again by WMS’s ability to bypass the stomach and go to the intestines for immediate absorption. WMS’s ability to shuttle all these nutrients and starch gives the body an immediate 'pump' you can physically feel in your muscles post workout. You will see a much larger, fuller and rounder muscle belly."

Also, it is said to eliminate water retention & bloat which I experience from dex.

I will personally evaluate the claims in due time.

I will be watching as I have been considering trying it myself. Good luck!

[ash146]

so what are your results?

[zipster_dude]

I was thinking about getting some also, what is TP? I assume it is a web company.

As far as the claims- first, I noticed some difference with respect to water rentention....nothing exceptional, though.

Second, the bloating claim I did notice a difference. Dex left me feeling very bloated...I have been taking it before my high intensity conditioning circuit- no problems at all. Quite happy with this, to be honest. I can get a liquid meal in, fill glycogen stores and complete my HIIT without feeling like puking.

I haven't experienced a crash with WMS. This was never really an issue when I took upwards of half a cup of dex...not a problem for me with the WMS either.

As far as recommending it, if you are pretty set on having a quick absorbing carb PWO I would take the waxy maize route over dex. For pre-workout meal (i.e. for very early morning workouts with limited time to ingest a whole meal or HIIT in the AM) it is great IMO.

All in all, I am happy with it.

TP is trueprotein, bro. Website.

Thanks TR!

[TR'05]

No problem, dude. If anyone has any other question, I'll try to answer them for you.

p.s. Thanks for bumpin' this ash- I had completely forgot.

[ash146]

no worries. how's mixing this stuff? i've heard issues with clumping. i'm wondering if a minute in a real blender does the trick or using warm water to help dissolve it better?

[TR'05]

Really?

Mixing for me has been no problem, whatsoever. I just pop it into a large (32 oz) shaker filled with about 16 oz of water, giver tittiies for about 10-20 seconds and it is completely mixed. No problems dissolving at all, bro. I am even inclined to say it's comparable to whey isolate in that respect.

[TR'05]

Having said that, I have never mixed it then let it sit. I always bring it "dry" in my shaker, fill in up with water immediately PWO then drink.

i see you're in canada as well. how long did it take to get this from trueprotien? also did you take your WMS with protien or separated it? i'm thinking of mixing the two like i do whey+dex.

edit: does this stuff measure the same as Dex? 1/2 cup of dex = 75g. same? how did you measure your stuff? i opted to by 5g measuring cup so i can be accurate.
