Highly Branched Amylopectin, Sustained Muscular Energy, Rapid RecoveryNOW 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
Here's what I'm thinking of putting together:
BCAAs (Edit: Just realized this is not vegan friendly)
L-Arginine a-Ketoglutarate
L-Citrulline DL-Malate
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine
Beta Alanine
Creatine Monohydrate
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Maltodextrin
Waxy Maize
I'm currently using a mix very similar to the above listed ingredients and it works very well!
I would like to just take a pre-mixed powder, but it seems like they all have caffeine, which I'm not a fan of for working out in the evening.
I'm also somewhat interested in Agmatine Sulfate and Phenylethylamine. Anyone have any opinions on those two chemicals?
