its the same thing that is in Nutrex's Vitargo CGL

they just add 10g creatine per serving.

and I have heard great things about it in terms of recovery, muscle fullness and pump, but I'm not sure that I can personally justify 50 to 75 cents a serving for a carbohydrate when my dextrose works just fine at 15 cents

vitargo is an experience, if you can efford it, it will surely do some things better than dextrose, but that doesn´t justify the price.

Although, if I was a pro and had the money I´d surely use it, just to get the optimum of everything.

Money really not a issue with me, what due you mean by "it will surely do some things better than dextrose"?

Got this info from True Protein's website on Waxy Maize, sounds like it would be a good replacement of dex/malt for PWO. Any thoughs?

True Protein’s Waxy Maize Starch is derived from natural corn starch and is a food grade modified starch. It is very bland in flavor and has a white fluffy like consistency. We recommend using a shaker or a blender (this is best) to mix this product as it does not mix well. Immediate use is recommended as it has a tendency to clump. We have gone through great lengths testing and tweaking our Waxy Maize Starch to be palatable. We have found one that tastes fairly well and functionality wise it is top of the line.

So what’s so special with Waxy Maize in comparison to dextrose or maltodextrin? Many people have used a mix of dextrose and maltodextrin for post workout nutrition for years because it works and is vital for proper glycogen replenishment. Welcome to the new era of post workout nutrition… Waxy Maize Starch. WMS has a much higher molecular weight and a much lower osmolarity rate compared to dextrose or maltodextrin, so what does this mean… Mainly, WMS bypasses the stomach, is absorbed by the intestines and immediately is assimilated; this is all done at a much faster rate than dextrose or maltodextrin, almost double.

WMS can help the absorption rates of many of your favorite supplements like creatine monohydrate, creatine ethyl ester, cell volumization and nitric oxide type supplements, etc. Nutrients like this often times are left in the stomachs harsh acidic environment and degrade absorption rates. WMS helps shuttle these nutrients to bypass the stomach and allow the body to assimilate these nutrients at a much higher rate.

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.

Dextrose and maltodextrin can cause water retention and bloating, hence WMS’s popularity with pre contest and contest preparation carbohydrate replenishment. Many dieters choose WMS as their carb of choice as it is sugar free and an ideal source of a long chain complex carbohydrate.

We recommend starting with one 70 cc scoop post workout and see how your body responds.

Yes, that´s my experience; yxur muscle will get fuller and you´re faster recovered.

It doesn´t really mix that well and forms a waxy slime, but that´s the secret of it.;-)

With this viscosity and low osmolarity it passes the stomach quicker and shuttles the CHO and the water -yes, you´ll be better and quicker hydrated, too- into the bloodstream.

it´s just not that convenient to use, but that´s the only disadvantage, beside the price.
