Wat is nou het verschil tussen dextrose,waxy maize en vitargo?

welke is nou aan te raden? en hoe zit het met inname ?
 
vraag ik me ook af, las wel dat vitargo door atleten gebruikt wordt en er nu een proffesionele versie uit is. van dextrose las ik dat het altijd vet maakt ook na training en dat maltodextrine beter is. dit schijnt van haver gemaakt te worden of mais. in isostar zit ook maltodextrine. in aquarius zit sacharine of sacharose, niet de zoetstof maar de suiker. laatste 2 vind ik altijd erg lekker na de training. gewoon proberen en kijken naar je resultaten, er is een uitgebreid onderzoek geweest dat zegt koolhydraten toevoegen aan je eiwitten na je training vermindert de opname van eiwitten, echter de meesten zien toch echt betere kracht herstel door ze wel beide te nemen.
 
De snelheid van opname is het verschil.
Zelf zit ik aan de Vitagrow van Inshape sups.
 
de ene week maltodextrose na de training, de andere week vitargo na de training

en op vrijdag een flinke dextrose bom na je laatste training voor het weekend om flink bij te tanken

presteer je op maltrodextrose beter iedere keer dan met vitargo, neem je die, en omgekeerd.

mis je de hele week dat vrijdag middag dextrose bom gevoel, neem je het gewoon elke dag, moet je wel 3 potten aanschaffen dus, dat wel.

waxi maze, schijnt voedingstoffen goed te transporteren, op de site van bodyenfitshop staat een goede beschrijving en werking van dat spul. is er nog niet lang, en ik lees al weer de minder positieve berichten er van. zodra ik nieuws heb laat ik het horen.
 
WMS is toch hetzelfde als vitargo? Vitagrow van is zelfde als vitargo of WMS van bodyenfitshop. En daarbij komt die van bodyenfit als goedkoopste uit de bus.


Dextrose is minder snel opneembaar.
 
klopt,

maar ik geloof ook die persoon die traint en zegt van dextrose had ik minder kracht herstel voor de volgende dag, meer vet toename.

en met maltodextrose, die wat rustiger je systeem in gaat omdat die via de lever gaat eerst, een hele goede kracht bleef houden en geen vet maar juist spier aan kwam.

deze persoon zei trouwens ook dat hij meer power kreeg met creatine, alle andere suplementen alanine of zo en die hele berg die je nu hebt, vond ie niet echt verbetering geven.

zelf ga ik aan de taurine 1 mg, creatine mono, bcaa, en glutamine.

naast de proteine.

vruchtensap naast je proteine is niet zo goed ivm opname proteine, fructose dus.

ik zag trouwens een aanbieding van 12,5 kg isostar voor 100 euro, deze schijnt net als vitargo erg goed in het osmolaliteit gebied te zitten.

Osmolaliteit, en waarom dat een belangrijke term is voor uw spieren Wat is in hemelsnaam osmolaliteit en maaglediging?
Osmolaliteit heeft invloed op het transport van water en andere oplossingen naar de celmembranen. Osmolaliteit is gerelateerd aan de specifieke osmolaliteit van het bloed wat bij de mens 280-303 mOsm/kg is. Een oplossing die dezelfde osmolaliteit heeft als bloed noemt men isotoon terwijl een oplossing met een lagere osmolaliteit hypotoon wordt genoemd. Hoe meer hypotoon een oplossing, hoe sneller het door de maag en naar de kleine darm, waar het grootste deel van de voedselopname gebeurt, kan. Een zeer lage osmolaliteit leidt tot een snelle en efficiënte opname van een substantie in de spiercellen. Hoe hoger het moleculair gewicht van een koolhydraat, hoe groter het absorptievermogen en hoe lager de osmolaliteit.
Nu u dit weet, kan u meteen zien dat dextrose (moleculair gewicht 180) verbleekt wanneer men het vergelijkt met Vextrago (moleculair gewicht 1000000-1200000). Dit geeft Vextrago (osmolaliteit 11mOsm/kg) een duidelijk voordeel tegenover de osmolaliteit (300 mOsm/kg) van bloed. Dit betekent dat Vextrago extreem hypotoon is. We weten nu dat hoe meer hypotoon een oplossing is, hoe sneller het door de maag in de kleine darm terechtkomt. Hoe sneller een stof in de kleine darm kan, hoe sneller de glycogeenvoorraden worden hersteld en hoe sneller er spiermassa kan opgebouwd worden.

Dextrose is minder snel opneembaar.

Het ligt allemaal toch even anders.

[Link niet meer beschikbaar]is gemaakt uit aardappelzetmeel en waxy maize of Vextrago uit maiszetmeel.

Dextrose wordt mss wel iets langzamer opgenomen, maar waar hebben we het 0ver? opnamen van dextrose is al na 5-10min. Dus om tijdswinst hoef je zeker geen vitargo of WMS te nemen. Wel pieken de carbs uit dextro wat meer en moet je daarom wat minder pakken omdat je anders vet kan worden.. vitargo ca 70 gram en dextro 0,4gram per kilo lichaamsgewicht.
 
Is veel commotie rond de laatste tijd!

Waxy schijnt een GI te hebben die eigenlijk niet zo hoog is, weet niet meer juist hoeveel, maar ik dacht tussen de 70 en 80? Vitargo daarintegen is superhoog en zou 110 hebben ( ongeveer ). Is tegenwoordig echt veel discussie over op de USA boards....
Dextrose zou dan ook hoger zijn qua GI dan waxy.
 
ik heb donderdag na de trainjekapottraining 0,4 x lichaams gewicht dexrose genomen, vond het wel wat pieken inderdaad, scherpere werking dat isostar met zijn maltodextrose.
 
Dan klopt het toch wat ik zeg? dan is WMS toch hetzelfde als vitagrow? staat ook op de pot van vitagrow, sticker met WMS. Volg het allemaal even niet.


Beste is dus gewoon dextrose van de super volgens jou? en dan iets minder?

Vitargo uit aardappels en Waxy Maize uit mais, dat is wel degelijk een verschil. De werking zou grotendeels gelijk moeten zijn. Je hoort veel verschillende berichten daarover. Vextrago (uit mais) claimt beter te zijn dan Vitargo.
 
Ja ieder 'merk' beweert uiteraard beter te zijn dan de andere. Volgens mij is het zoals rene zegt dat de werking quasi hetzelfde zal zijn en dat het om persoonlijke voorkeuren gaat.
 
waxy maze schijnt minder maagklachten te geven dan dextrose, ik heb net na de training een dextrose shot genomen, werkt ergens wel lekker dat spul. gisteravond grote pot 93 procent maltodextrose besteld, dus na een paar dagen dextrose ga ik een paar dagen dat proberen. vooral herstel voor de volgende dag is voor mij belangrijk. zwaar trainen, rust, slaap voeding, herstel, en zorgen dat je volgende dag weer alle kracht hebt. ik ga nu dat engelse artikel verder lezen, las dat het bij sommigen goed werkt, dit artikel zal negatief zijn, ben benieuwd, het product is mij te nieuw en onbewezen nog ik wacht er nog mee.

volgende week een week op de verbeterde vitargo, laat wel even horen hoe ie gaat op deze spulletjes.
 
Ik heb zelf 2 potten Vitargo verbruikt 70 gr. met 25 gr. Whey en 750 ml. water (+ creatine, taurine, zakje Effer-C) na de training.

Deze shake werd net zo dik als behangplaksel maar het werkte super en herstelde goed van me trainingen.
Na een uur moest ik echt een goede maaltijd eten (wat ik sowieso altijd dee) anders zat ik bijna tegen een blackout aan, anderhalve uur na mijn shake. (heb dit een keer gemerkt toen ik plotseling moest werken en na anderhalf uur na mijn PW shake stond ik shakend voor de balie van een pompstation met een blikje redbull en 3 snickers, en nee ik heb geen slin gebruikt)
Dat zei mij wel iets over de snelle en hoge insulinepiek van Vitargo.
Ik zou het zeker proberen het is het geld waard vind ik.
 
okay bedankt voor je reactie dschot.

plak nog even de conclusie van link hieronder voor wie het hele engelse stuk niet wil lezen zoals ik heb gedaan zo juist, heb enkele woorden vertaald tussen streepjes

So in spite of ///ondanks///hours of investigation, I just couldn't find any reason to use WMS. Even speaking to a dozen or so people from the companies that sell it, couldn't provide me with one single study about this substance. Worse than simply not being able to justify claims about its rapidity, most of the available information suggests////wijst er op/// that WMS is a poor carbohydrate to use after training.

To put all of this in perspective, it's possible that the WMS we're using has worse digestive/absorptive ///slechtere vertering en opname///properties than white bread. We can hope that our product contains "faster" WMS, which will undoubtedly become the new claim, but even at best this is similar to dextrose and maltodextrin. Considering that dextrose is the cheapest supplement in existence, this begs the question: what are we paying for?
 
Setting The Record Straight on the Waxy Maize Craze.

Setting The Record Straight on the Waxy Maize Craze.

As found on Muscular Development Magazine's web page


By Will Brink © 2009

A few years back a bunch of studies supported the concept that both the timing and type of carbohydrate athletes used could have positive effects – for both aerobic and anaerobic oriented athletes. Since then there has been a rush to find the “best” pre and post workout carb source. As is typical for the bodybuilding/fitness industry, a new “miracle” carb source burst onto the market almost monthly promising muscle growth second only to an Anadrol* enema, but I digress... The point being, there’s been a great deal of information, misinformation, and down right disinformation, regarding these “amazing miracle anabolic” carb sources. The pinnacle of which, is Waxy Maize Starch (WMS), but before we get to that, let’s back up a second to recap why the focus on these carb sources.

A Brief History…

The basic concept goes like so: Most people are aware that nutrient timing is as important as nutrient composition. In other words, it’s not just what you eat, but when you eat it that gives optimal results. As the man said, “Timing is everything.” Consuming the right nutrients at the right time can have positive effects on body composition, which can equal more muscle and less body fat as well as improved performance.

Following an intense exercise session, there’s a “metabolic window” - so to speak - where the body preferentially shuttles glucose, amino acids, and other nutrients, into the liver and muscles via both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent transport mechanisms. Translated, this means your body will shuttle carbs and protein into the tissues you want (muscle) instead of storing them as fat after a workout. So far so good…

To carry the analogy further, the metabolic window doesn’t stay open indefinitely, so you need to take advantage of the opportunity while it lasts.

A number of studies have found that a post-workout drink containing high-GI carbs** is highly anti-catabolic. Adding protein to the mix – depending on the protein – has an additive effect with the two working synergistically to create an anabolic environment that’s superior to either nutrient alone.

Obviously there’s a great deal more to it, but the above is intended as a quick recap of the concept vs. an exhaustive review on the topic.

Back to Waxy Maize Starch (WMS)

So with the above brief summary of why the big interest in various carb sources pre and or post workout, we can focus for a moment on WMS. WMS has been pushed heavily as an optimal carb source with sellers claiming superior effects to other common carb sources such as maltodextrin and dextrose. Claims of faster glycogen resynthesis after tough workouts “rapid absorption” and faster gastric emptying, are the common claims made by those selling WMS. I’m sure people have also seen claims about “high molecular weight, low osmolality” and other fancy terms being thrown around also. So is any of this true, or have people been fed another over hyped poorly supported bag of goods? Let’s see…

“Just The Facts Ma’am”

One major claim of WMS is “rapid glycogen” storage after exercise compared to other carbs. One study compared WMS to dextrose, maltodextrin, and a “resistant”*** starch. 8 male cyclists were put through a workout designed to deplete their glycogen stores**** so their muscles would be primed for glycogen storage as mentioned above in the “Brief History” section. Furthermore, after feeding them these various carb sources - at 24 hours after the glycogen depleting workout program - glycogen levels were essentially the same between the WMS, dextrose, and malto. In fact - although not statistically significant - dextrose was the best of the bunch in this study for getting glycogen levels back up after the exercise protocol (1) which is what athletes should strive for after tough workouts.

Another big claim of WMS is as a pre workout carb source, but is it any better than, say dextrose? The answer appears to be NO. Ten well trained, elite male cyclists were given either WMS, dextrose, resistant starch (RS), or placebo, and their ability to sustain endurance work after ingesting these carb sources and placebo tested. Performance during prolonged endurance exercise is related to the ability to maintain blood glucose levels via glycogen storage and ingested carbs before and or during the exercise. So, these researchers wanted to see which of these carb sources consumed pre-exercise would maintain performance during prolonged exercise. That is, which carb source would fuel the greatest amount of work in the final 30 minutes. First, they gave the cyclists (at separate times) each of the carbs (about a 75 gram dose) 30 minutes before their 2-hour ride. The blood glucose and insulin response from dextrose was 3 times higher in the first 15 minutes; at 30 minutes glucose was still over 1.5 times higher while insulin remained 3 times higher. Then they did their exhaustive ride. The study found dextrose and WMS similar (although dextrose still had a slight edge) in their ability to maintain performance with RS and placebo being less effective (2). Again, WMS did not show itself to be anything special and slightly less effective then good old dextrose. This also is the first study (of several—see more below) to show WMS to be low glycemic and low insulinemic (low insulin spiking).

“So Why All The Hype, Will?”

So at this point the reader is thinking “then why all the hype over Waxy Maize, Will? Where is all this info coming from about this carb source being so great if it’s not so great?!” I feel your pain and will answer your questions! This is where things get more interesting.

The Real Deal…

A carb source that has an optimal pre and post workout profile for the resynthesis of glycogen after tough workouts, fast gastric emptying, and improved performance, has a high molecular weight and low osmolality and should spike blood glucose and insulin levels post workout. Studies suggest the best of the bunch for this purpose is a patented carb sold under the name Vitargo. What sellers of WMS have unknowingly (some might suspect knowingly…) done is use the data and claims from Vitargo and applied them to WMS, as if the two were interchangeable, with some getting the impression WMS is just a generic form of Vitagro, which is not the case. For example, sellers of WMS claim it’s absorbed rapidly, increases glycogen stores quicker than other carb sources, and improves performance (similar to Vitargo), but the studies that exist do not support that (or show the opposite…) and or simply don’t exist to support it as the studies above clearly demonstrate. What does exist, however, are studies showing Vitargo to have these effects. As I said, it appears sellers of WMS have “pirated” the studies actually done on Vitargo as if they were interchangeable carbs sources, when they are not. As already shown, WMS is, at best, about equal to maltodextrin and dextrose, or inferior to those carb sources, depending on which study you read. For example a study just completed –and soon to be published- out of Purdue University, found WMS had a 3 times lower glucose response compared to maltodextrin, and a 3 times lower insulin response, and even 2 times lower than white bread! (3) So even white bread appears to be a superior post workout carb source than WMS if one is looking to spike glucose and insulin levels, which leads to enhanced rates of glycogen storage and anti-catabolism. It’s interesting to note that WMS has been shown to have such a slow and steady effect on glucose and insulin levels, scientist now routinely refer to it as “slow digesting” or “low glycemic.”

So What Of Vitargo?

Vitargo is an interesting starch carbohydrate with some interesting properties. A study published in 2000 compared Vitargo to maltodextrin plus sugars and their respective effects on glycogen storage after an exhaustive exercise protocol and found Vitargo to be far superior to malto/sugars for rapidly replacing muscle glycogen levels both two and four hours after the exercise sessions (4). By “far superior” I mean 70% better over the 2 hour period, which is no small amount.

A follow up study published in 2008 found similar effects, but with some additional twists in support of Vitargo as a unique carb source. This study found that Vitargo was superior for performance during a subsequent bout of maximal exercise just 2 hours after glycogen-depleting exercise. In a nut shell, on three randomized visits 8 guys were put through an exercise protocol designed to use up a bunch of their stored glycogen (ergo, they were glycogen depleted), and then fed 100g of either Vitargo, malto/sugars, or flavored/artificially sweetened water as control. They waited 2 hours and tested their performance (ability to do “work”) via a 15 minute high intensity time trial test on a cycle ergometer and found the group that had been fed the Vitargo right after the prior workout 2 hours before had superior performance for the second high intensity trial. This makes perfect sense; if Vitargo rapidly replaces glycogen levels in muscle and the liver, the person will be able to perform better during their next exercise session, especially if those bouts of exercise are within the same day. If glycogen levels are not boosted back up by the next exercise session, performance will suffer. As the authors of this study summarized well:

“Limiting factors to post-exercise muscle glycogen re-synthesis following carbohydrate feeding include the amount, timing, and form of carbohydrate administered, the rate of gastric emptying and intestinal absorption of the ingested carbohydrate, glucose storage and output by the liver, and muscle glucose transport and oxidation.”

Translated, it’s not as simple as just the carbohydrate’s glycemic rating or whether it’s a “simple” or “complex” carb. There are a lot of other factors involved and science has come a long way in understanding what those biological factors are.

Gastric emptying rates are another important issue to athletes as the faster it leaves the stomach the faster it enters the intestines where it is digested and absorbed. Fast gastric emptying and digestion means the faster glucose levels, insulin spikes, and subsequent glycogen storage and enhanced post workout anti-catabolic action, not to mention no one enjoys having a drink sloshing around in their stomach during or after a workout. It’s just unpleasant and if it’s sloshing around in your gut it’s not doing squat for your muscles! A 2000 study compared the gastric emptying rates of Vitargo to a carb source derived from maize starch and found Vitargo “significantly” faster emptying rate from the stomach, which would partly explain why Vitargo appears to replenish depleted glycogen levels so quickly when compared to other carb sources (5).

Conclusions

In the above review, I was trying to keep the science mumbo jumbo to a minimum. So what’s the take home on the above?

• For endurance athletes and people following multiple sessions per day in the gym, Vitargo is a no brainer as the pre/post workout carb source of choice. For those focused exclusively on gaining lean body mass (LBM) and strength, doing traditional programs where a single exercise session is done in day lasting an hour or less, it’s unclear at this time if Vitargo is going to have additional benefits on body composition above and beyond what malto or dextrose can achieve as this has not been studied. In theory however, faster gastric emptying, higher and faster insulin spikes, and enhanced rates of glycogen resynthesis, etc., should be beneficial to strength athletes following traditional programs, but more data is needed. Bottom line here is if I was looking for the least expensive carb source pre/post workout, I would use malto and or dextrose. If I wanted to use what appears to be the most efficient carb source that data suggests has superior properties for athletes, I would use Vitargo. WMS however is a bust and would not even be in the running between those choices in my view.

• It’s easy to see why people are often confused regarding WMS vs. Vitargo, and why sellers of WMS have taken advantage of that fact. Vitargo can be derived from WMS, so they are essentially the same thing right? Wrong. Vitargo can be derived from WMS, potatoes, rice, wheat, and other sources, so even if WMS is used as the starting source, it’s a very different starch as the finished product. If one reads the patent on Vitargo***** there is a very interesting statement made which is on testing, “it will be found there have occurred novel types of bonds which do not occur traditionally in native starch.” What that means is, it’s a starch not normally found in nature and is structurally and functionally different than the starch source it was derived from. A true “designer starch” if you will, which appears to be optimally designed to favor the rapid formation of glycogen.

The Brink Bottom Line: More data is needed in my view on Vitargo to answer some lingering questions, but it’s one of the few products out there with more substance than sheer hype (which is more then can be said for WMS…) with Vitargo firmly in the “might be worth a try” category hovering on “definitely worth using” if/when additional studies are done to confirm/support some of my previous comments and questions above.

See you in the gym….
