I recently tested out a pre-workout supplement (MuscleTech Push 10) that contained an ingredient called Waxy Maize. I had never really heard of this or taken it before so I decided before I put the Push 10 down the hatch I had better go take a quick peek and see if this is something I actually wanted to put into my body...So here is a quick look at "What is Waxy Maize".
What Is Waxy Maize?
Waxy Maize is a modified starch - a one-of-a-kind complex carbohydrate that the body can absorb very quickly.
So now that I found that waxy maize is nothing more than a fast absorbing carbohydrate, I figured it was fine to consume, but the question still remains: Is Waxy Maize effective and worth the price? Should I pay a premium for a supplement that contains waxy maize? Reading various articles on waxy maize starch, I failed to find any rock-solid scientific evidence supporting the claims of waxy maize. The best article I found was published on BodyBuilding.com: The Myth of Waxy Maize Starch.
