NO.

Waxy maize is a special kind of corn that contains higher levels of amylopectin starch than amylose (the two basic starch types). This starch is absorbed faster, etc. so on....

High amylocpectin starches for some products are derived from different grains such as barley (high amylopectin barley) also. I have no reliable information on whether the corn products are better but I highly doubt it would make a big difference.

Maltodextrin is a polyglucose (a bunch of saccarides linked together..up to 20) and dextrose is a simple sugar otherwise known as corn sugar and can be thought of pretty much as glucose. Both are made from corn.

Waxy maize can be used alone to take the place of malto and dextrose together. It packs a wallop though so needs to be experimented with to find the best levels. BTW you could use all three together actually...I have and it worked great but it's completely unnecessary unless you find WMS messing with your sugar levels like I did (I'm a little leary about it in general for various complicated reasons).

If you look through the pre and post workout nutrition sticky you'll find all types of in-depth info and options.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
