Each 75g serving (2 scoops) provides a pure amylopectin intake, with no added sugars, no fat, and no protein, for rapid absorption energy delivery and progressive glucose release, ideal for use before, during, or after intense and long-duration workouts. The formula is single-ingredient: native waxy maize starch, without excipients, without colorants, without sweeteners (Neutral version), making it the cleanest amylopectin product in the Life Pro catalog. 2 kg per package (~26 servings). Available in Neutral (unflavored) and Forest Fruits versions.

Waxy maize starch is a genetically modified variety of corn that produces starch with an exceptionally high amylopectin proportion, typically over 95-99%, compared to 70-80% in conventional corn starch. This almost exclusive amylopectin composition is the basis of waxy maize's unique functional properties: its very high molecular weight (typically 5 to 10 times higher than conventional maltodextrin) results in very low osmolarity in solution, meaning the prepared solution exerts a much lower osmotic pressure than body fluids, facilitating ultra-fast gastric emptying and efficient intestinal absorption without the gastrointestinal discomfort associated with hyperosmolar solutions of simple carbohydrates. After intestinal absorption, amylopectin is hydrolyzed by intestinal and pancreatic amylases into maltose and glucose, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. The glucose release profile is progressive and sustained compared to monosaccharides like dextrose (which causes an acute glycemic peak followed by a rapid drop), making amylopectin a more stable and longer-lasting energy source during physical activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh molecular weight, low osmolarity: the properties that eliminate intra-workout gastrointestinal discomfort:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOne of the most common problems with carbohydrate consumption during exercise (especially in endurance athletes who need 60-90 g\/hour during long events) is gastrointestinal discomfort: bloating, nausea, cramps, and diarrhea caused by the high osmotic load of concentrated solutions of simple sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) or maltodextrin in the digestive tract, which draws water into the intestinal lumen by osmosis and delays gastric emptying. Amylopectin, thanks to its very high molecular weight, has a much lower osmotic load in solution at the same carbohydrate concentration, meaning it can be consumed in larger quantities without causing the osmotic effect that underlies gastrointestinal discomfort. This property is particularly valuable for: endurance athletes (cycling, marathon, triathlon, trail) who need to consume large amounts of carbohydrates during long events and training; athletes who train on an empty stomach or with a sensitive stomach; and athletes who have had negative experiences with other powdered carbohydrates during training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRapid replenishment of muscle and liver glycogen after training:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIntense and prolonged physical exercise depletes muscle glycogen stores (stored in skeletal muscle, typically 300-500 g total for a trained adult) and liver glycogen stores (stored in the liver, typically 70-100 g). Glycogen resynthesis after exercise is a process critically dependent on blood glucose availability and the activation of glycogen synthase by increased insulin. The 30-60 minute window immediately after exercise (the so-called \"anabolic window\") is the period when muscle insulin sensitivity is maximal and the rate of glycogen resynthesis is highest, making this the ideal time for rapid-absorbing carbohydrate consumption. Amylopectin, with its rapid digestion and absorption, is particularly effective in this post-workout context, providing glucose for glycogen resynthesis more efficiently and with less gastrointestinal discomfort than hyperosmolar carbohydrate sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-ingredient formula: maximum purity, versatility of combination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe single-ingredient formulation (native waxy maize starch, without any additional excipients in the Neutral version) is a strategic choice that maximizes versatility of use and transparency of composition. With no sweeteners, no colorants, no flavorings, no preservatives, Pure Waxy Neutral can be invisibly added to any drink or shake without perceptibly altering taste or texture, making it the carbohydrate of choice for customizing sports nutrition according to individual needs: it can be mixed with whey protein for a complete recovery drink (carbohydrates + protein), with BCAAs for anti-catabolic protection during training, with creatine to enhance phosphocreatine resynthesis after training, or with isotonic drinks to increase energy density without significantly altering osmolarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 75 g (2 scoops) with 400 ml of water or another beverage of your choice.
