NOW® Sports Waxy Maize is a complex starch derived from non-GMO corn that consists of 90% amylopectin, a high molecular weight, multi-branched polysaccharide. Due to its complex structure, amylopectin is slowly absorbed by the body; but once absorbed, it is easily assimilated by muscle tissue and converted into glycogen.* Glycogen is a stored carbohydrate that serves as a sustained pool of glucose that the body readily uses for energy production during exercise.* Waxy maize also supports glycogen resynthesis well after you are finished working out, sustaining energy levels throughout the day.* BRAND STORY By NOW Foods

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. NOW 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. Highly Branched Amylopectin, Sustained Muscular Energy, Rapid Recovery.
