Cytosport Cytocarb

How does the Cytosport Cytocarb compare to the likes of waxy and Vitago as far as post workout carb sources. I havent used any of these products before but thinking of trying this cheapest option first.  I can get it for very very cheap.  Any thoughts?

Optimum's Glyco Maize is pretty cost effective.

Optimum's Glyco Maize is pretty cost effective.

Tastes like crap though. Works well!

can you explain how these carb sources are processed in the body and how it differs from waxy?

No, actually, I can't.   I know nothing about waxy maize, but I'm sure someone else will jump in.
Maltodextrin is not much different than dextrose.  Even though malto is considered a complex carb, the bond which makes it complex is very weak so it acts almost identical in the body as dextrose (ie; very high GI).
