CLUSTER DEXTRINTM

HIGHLY BRANCHED CYCLIC DEXTRIN

Thanks to the latest advances in industrial production of carbohydrates, Starlabs CLUSTER DEXTRINTM has been developed using a novel type of ultrafast digestion dextrin.

 
Cluster DextrinTM has unique advantages:
Higher solubility
High molecular weight, thus recharging better glycogen reserves (without causing peaks of insulin)
Ultra fast and more efficient digestion without causing discomfort or stomach swelling
Better flavor than other dextrins, thanks to its purity and the low presence of low molecular weight substances.

Under the microscope

Cyclodextrins are produced by the degradation of amylopectin and they have common characteristics with starches (amylopectins), but they have added benefits.

They are manufactured using a branching enzyme that works via cyclization reaction, maintaining the amylopectin basic structural unit.
 
Cluster DextrinTM  molecules have relatively long side chains of glucose that are considered to adopt a cyclic structures in solution that can form inclusion complexes with low molecular weight compounds such as organic acids. This results in a superior performance to other dextrins.

The perfect ally for serious athletes

Cluster DextrinTM is the perfect carbohydrate for athletes thanks to its high solubility and its speed to reach bloodstream. 

Glucose levels remain high in blood, being perfect for activities of high demand without causing peaks of insulin.
Shorter residence time in the stomach allows design of a sports drink that is quickly absorbed in the body. The energy coming from these carbohydrates reaches the muscles before and in a sustained manner.

Science

Through different studies it has been confirmed that consuming cyclic dextrins increases endurance and athletic performance by providing a high energy intake, due to its low osmotic pressure, without generating insulin spikes, contrary to dextrose or maltodextrin, which cause a rapid release of glucose into the blood stream, increasing the amount of insulin produced, which shortly after, gives us that energy slump.

BENEFITS

1. Rapid and sustained release of carbohydrates

2. Excellent digestion

3. High solubility

4. Doesn’t cause peaks of insulin


RECOMMENDED FOR

  • Athletes who want to stay hydrated and energized during high intensity training sessions.
  • Athletes before realizing a sports competition.
  • Anyone who practice endurance and long lasting sports.
  • Athletes with sensitive stomach and tendency to upset stomach derived from carbohydrates
