I've heard and seen studies that say the sugar in CM is good postworkout for the insulin spike while others say you want to avoid that (even postworkout) and stick to low GI carbs. Personally I haven't noticed much of a difference other than the low GI shakes I've made keep me full a little longer.
Thoughts?
If you're training twice per day, 6 days per week, you can play with this sort of thing and benefit. For the average person in this thread training 3-5 days per week, once per day, recreationally, you won't benefit from using this. You're better off focusing on other recovery modalities (sleep, stress, nutrition throughout the day, programming).
You will benefit more from smart training choices than sources of carbohydrates in the post workout meal. Your glycogen will replenish, albeit at a slower rate than otherwise, but that is not a problem if you're only training once per day.
If you want the absolute best product, something like Vitargo would be worth experimenting with for you. Again, I don't think this is a 'bang for your buck' area to focus on if you're a recreational lifter. You could otherwise play with sources such as dextrose, maltodextrin, fruit, fruit juices, potatoes, or even a low carb PWO shake. A whole food approach with potatoes as a PWO carb source can be very successful.
