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.

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).
