Optimum Nutrition Glycomaize™ -- 6.6 lbs 4 5 2 2

Helps with mid-workout crash. I would always recommend a healthy meal before an intense workout, I don't think this is a proper substitute, however, I mix this with my intra-workout BCAA's and notice almost no decline in energy and intensity levels during my workout, prior to this workout I would begin feeling sluggish midway through a particularly intense workout, this seems to help. I have also read studies in cortisol levels and a mixture of carbs and BCAA's before, during and after a workout ensure minimal levels maximizing growth and development of muscles. March 3, 2013

Good post-workout carbs, but don't overdo it I like this product, but I don't love it. It's only useful post-workout. Otherwise, it's just sucking down excess calories. It has almost no taste (which is good), so add it to protein powder that already has a good flavor. I like the texture it adds to the protein powder. I think the serving suggestions are too high. I weigh about 150lbs with an average/athletic build, but I don't use a full scoop or else I feel bloated. February 22, 2013

Optimum Nutrition Glycomaize™ Description

Packed with Fast-Acting, High-Molecular Weight Waxy Maize Starch

Whereas proteins help with muscle rebuilding, carbs refuel and replenish. Of the various types available, Waxy Maize Starch and Trehalose are two of the best. Waxy maize starches are long-chain, highly-branched, exceptionally-dense complex carbohydrates that are rapidly absorbed. Trehalose is a much smaller, slower-digesting molecule comprised of two unusually linked glucose sugars. Together, these carbohydrates provide immediate and intermediate energy, top-off glycogen stores, and aid with nutrient absorption. That’s why they’re the foundation of our Glycomaize formula. Unlike other high-carbohydrate formulas that you may have used in the past, Glycomaize is designed to be used often and in greater amounts. Added Carbogen enzymes help ensure fast, easy digestion without bloating or cramping. So, when you’re ready to power-up your pre-, during- & post-workout drinks and shakes to meet the intensity of your sports, you’re ready for Glycomaize.
