Highly branched, cyclic dextrin belongs to the group of maltodextrins. Maltodextrin is a water-soluble, homogeneous carbohydrate mixture. It is composed of monomers, dimers, oligomers and polymers of glucose which are chemically linked via 1,4- or 1,6-glycosidic bonds. Overall, dextrins are smaller and more branched than the compact, helical starch molecules and have a more open molecular structure.
The patented branded raw material Cluster Dextrin™ is a popular pre- and intra-workout source of carbohydrates and energy, especially for athletes and physically active people. The properties resulting from its molecular structure enable it to provide an immediate and long-lasting energy boost. For this reason, cyclic dextrin is very popular with high-performance athletes and bodybuilders, especially before and during long, endurance training sessions such as cardio or for weight gain.
