Product Code Database
Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) is a complex long-chain high molecular weight carbohydrate free of sugar and lactose. WMS can restore glycogen levels faster than dextrose thus increasing energy levels in record time. It has a much higher molecular weight than dextrose and maltodextrin so therefore passes through the stomach much faster thus eliminating the risk of stomach discomfort; so there is no stomach cramping and no bloated feeling. Since WMS is absorbed so rapidly it can easily be consumed whenever a fast release of energy is required. WMS acts like a pump pulling the nutrients along with water into the body tissue at the correct speed and osmolality for your body to fully utilise. WMS is soluble in water mixes best with a shaker but can also be shaken and consumed immediately. It has a neutral taste and is an excellent addition to a formula or consumed on its own. Our Waxy Maize Starch has a high percentage of Amylopectin (95-99%) and a low percentage of Amylose (1-5%). Amylopectin molecules are larger heavier and easier for the stomach to digest. Therefore foods that have little Amylose and lots of Amylopectin will be more rapidly digested and absorbed.
