Has anyone ever put regular Corn Starch in their PWO shake for carbohydrates?
From what I understand it forms a gel in the small intestine and SLOWLY realeses glucose into the blood stream. I got the idea after reading about a product called "Pure Vitargo" being sold as a PWO drink at BulkNutrition.com and other places. "Pure Vitargo" is a waxy corn starch that is 100% amylopectin and regular grocery store corn starch is 75% amylopectin but regular costs $1 per pound instead of $10.
According to Pure Vitargo it doesn't pull water out of the muscles into the stomach to digest it so you don't get the bloated feeling. This seems to be somewhat true with regular corn starch also too.
