[Powergirl36]

Hey everyone,I don't have any dextrose yet but wanted to get some soon... I looked on amazon and also in GNC and one thing that came up was Waxy Maize Starch? Can this be used instead of dextrose?http://freakstrength.com/2011/07/07/waxy-maize-starch-versus-dextrosemaltodextrin/

Its fine.  Doesnt taste as good though.  Its a type of corn starch.

Well it's considered a complex carb, I've used it with no problems before.I'd say just get which ever one is cheaper, I just order a 10lb tub of dextrose for $30 after shipping of bodybuilding.comAlso, don't buy from GNC, they are way to expensive, I've seen their prices double from the internet.

I still have a tub of ON Glyco-maize I'm trying to run out.  Literally the only thing its usefull for is the PWO shake.  And that only IF the rest of your shake ingredients taste good.  The dextrose will sweeten a nasty shake and you can use it to sweeten baked goods for a backload or whatever else you need sugar on. So, it's a lot more versitile.

I drink waxy maize with gatorade, works well and goes down easy.

if you are lean and using a good waxy profuct (not glycomaize, one with a high amylopectin content) will make you look fuller, leaner, and more vascular.  And its easy on the stomach.  some say its not Hi GI but you could always mix some dextrose with it.  Personally I really like it
