100% Pure Highly Branched Cyclic
Dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®)
Cluster
Dextrin (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin-HBCD) is a specialized type of cyclic
dextrin which is formed when enzymes are used to break down amylopectin. The
enzymes convert the starches into clusters that are then converted into longer
chains by using additional branching enzymes (BE,1,4-α-D-glucan: 1,4-α-D-glucan
6-α-D-(1,4-α-D-glucano)-transferase,EC 2.4.1.18).

Cluster Dextrin® is highly soluble and quickly
digested carbohydrates play an important role in many sports. Useful for both
weight training and endurance type activities. Provides a continuous and sustained release of
energy, which promotes much greater use of body fat for fuel during exercise.
This improves performance and endurance far beyond what can be achieved using
plain glucose or high GI carbs such as sugars, dextrins and maltodextrin.
Used before training this can elevate blood glucose
providing immediate energy, during and post-exercise it can almost
instantaneously replenish depleted energy stores and transport other nutrients
into the muscles aiding both recovery and muscle growth.
Cluster Dextrin® has a high molecular
weight and low osmolarity, which helps to increase gastric emptying. This
essentially means that the HCBD will remain for a much lesser time in your
stomach as compared to regular carbohydrates and is absorbed by your intestines
and sent to the muscles more quickly. Cluster Dextrin® has minimal to no effect on blood sugar and insulin
levels.
