NOW Sports - Waxy Maize Powder - 5.5 lbs (2495 Grams)

NOW® Waxy Maize is a complex starch derived from Non-GMO corn that is naturally high in amylopectin‚ a high molecular weight‚ highly branched polysaccharide. Unlike typical corn starch products‚ which contain an average of 70-75% amylopectin‚ NOW® Waxy Maize typically contains 90% amylopectin. Amylopectin is slowly absorbed by the body‚ and then easily assimilated by muscle tissue‚ where it is converted into glycogen. Glycogen can then provide a sustained source of glucose for energy. Unlike maltodextrin or dextrose‚ Waxy Maize supports glycogen resynthesis well after you are finished working out and sustains energy levels throughout the day.
