waxy maize verse vitagro

[extremephysique]

I know vitagro is extracted from barley sugar but does waxy maize have the same absorption properties?


in other words is there any advantage in vitagro over waxy maize?


waxy maize is sooo much cheaper!


can i use waxy maize during my carb load?

 

[-OC-]

Maybe try

Seems just as good as Waxy, actually digests better for me, and it's less expensive, good luck!

Vitargo is and has been for some time made with waxy maize starch.
Pretty expensive when ypu copmare it to True Proteins stuff-order it bulk add flavor and sweetener and you are good to go.

I'm pretty sure waxy maize is cheaper. You need more than 35g of carbs post workout. Check the math.

that's what he's saying...that waxy is cheaper. hes just making sure its ok to use instead of vitargo.

i know PWO a TON of people on the board use waxy, its supposed to be great. idk about carb load...are you referring to before a contest? you'd have to ask someone else about that one...

Wish they could get it to taste as good as Professional Supplement's Pure Vitargo, although i heard Atwood's company is going under? Maybe he should lower his prices.....way overpriced.

From Nutex website on Vitargo CGL:
"The faster you recover from your workouts the better you can maximize muscle growth. There is only one way your body recovers from a workout, that is by loading glycogen into your muscles. Glycogen is your muscle’s primary energy component. The body forms glycogen from carbohydrates and it is extremely beneficial to take carbohydrates after your workout to initiate a quick and thorough recovery process. However, not just any carbohydrate will give you the desired effect. There is one form of carbohydrate that loads glycogen into your muscles faster and more efficiently than all others: It is of an extremely high molecular weight, totally sugar-free and absorbed by your muscles 70% faster than any other carbohydrate. It is patented, clinically proven and scientifically tested against all other carbohydrate sources. It is a unique form of waxy maize starch that can only be found in Vitargo-CGL."

Trust me it's no different than waxy maize starch so don't let them fool you.
I have tried the new form and it is exactly like TP's stuff only with aded creatine and flavorings.

I have used both and only found a slight difference

I'm interested as well........there are many that say pure Vitargo is superior to Waxy Maize and that they are NOT the same thing. It's much easier to find Waxy Maize and it's cheaper as the poster mentioned. Pure Vitargo is getting harder to find and is often out of stock. I just wanted to bump this up for further discussion.

I have been taking about 30mgs post workout, is that not enough?

 

[Frank N. Steroid]

Not if you really meant 30mgs and not 30 grams(which I hope you meant)

 

[youngmuscle]

that depends... you need to take in a little bit more than enough to replenish whatever amount of glycogen you depleted(super compensation)...

30 grams = 120 cals worth of glycogen

 

[Ironmanpits]

I like two scoops (70 grams if I remember correctly) of TP's waxy maize with 10 grams of BCAA's post workout.

The high molecular weight of the carb is whats most important. Vitargo was super expensive to produce which is one of the reasons PS is making a newer version. I have used all three brands....Pure Vitargo, Nutrex Vitargo, and generic Waxy and I don't notice too much of a difference except for the taste. WM is a tool for restoring glycogen and regardless of the brand name, as long as its got that high molecular weight you should be fine.

I use it with clients when carbing them up for a show.
