Wut is the gi of waxy Maize Starch? Is it a high or low gi? I know the molecular weight means it will pass through the stomach immediately into the blood but will it stimulate insulin the same way maltodextrin/dextrose does for pwo? Vitargo says the gi is around 137 so I am not sure. Some nutritionist believe it is a very high gi, others say the insulin response is low compared to surgar? What is your take on this?

The faster sugar(glucose) hits the blood stream the larger the insulin response to "distribute the sugar."

The think the GI of waxy is about 71?

This is what I was told and thought myself. TO me it seems that if it doesn't spike insulin then it doesn't do what we think it does because wut you said was ture, the quicker the sugar is released into the blood stream, the more insulin that is released. Layne Nortan and Dave Palumbo told me the same thing.

So would dextrose be superior to WMS then?

We do not have the exact GI on hand here but we have been given the opposite information that the glycemic index on the material is on the lower end of the spectrum and that the material does not use the insulin spike to shuttle the nutrients, but rather the molecular weight of the waxy itself. I believe there may be additional information available in the TP Forums, worth checking out at least!

You don't even know your own product?

Neither the manufacturer or the distributor have the numbers we have requested; initially the product was tested with our trainers Jason Wojo, Justin Harris, and Eric Broser, and they determined our Waxy Maize product was higher in quality than any of the other products they have used on the market. The only thing we are lacking is the final GI numbers.

why dont you get a glucometer, and test your blood sugar every 15 minutes after ingestion to see how high / long it goes....

i know someone over at MD did it, his levels went back to normal after 30 min., but insulin response was huge

take a look at my post...

if i remember correctly the experiment on IM. like 6 people tested it with a glucometer there was almost no insulin response.
