MST® CYCLIC DEXTRIN (CLUSTER DEXTRIN®): The premium carbohydrate for endurance, glycogen synthesis, and stomach comfort

MST® Cyclic Dextrin is a pure, highly soluble powder made from 100% Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD), known by the brand name Cluster Dextrin®. This dietary supplement is made in Germany (MADE IN GERMANY) and was developed specifically for athletes who need a steady, stomach-friendly source of energy. The product is flavorless (Natural Flavor) and ideal for mixing with electrolytes or amino acids.

The science of Cluster: What makes HBCD so special

Conventional carbohydrates such as dextrose or maltodextrin can often cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to their molecular structure and high osmotic pressure, as they slow gastric emptying [1]. Highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) solves this problem thanks to its unique molecular structure, making it an ideal carbohydrate source for endurance athletes [1].

1. Low osmolality and fast gastric transit

• Low osmotic pressure: Unlike simple sugars or maltodextrin, HBCD has very low osmotic pressure [1].

• Fast gastric emptying: This property ensures extremely fast gastric emptying [1], minimizing the risk of nausea, bloating, and stomach discomfort typically associated with consuming carbohydrates during exercise [1].

• Hydration benefit: Rapid passage into the small intestine also indirectly supports fluid absorption (hydration), which helps maintain fluid balance during exercise [1].

2. Steady energy supply and blood sugar management

• Steady release: Cluster Dextrin® breaks down into glucose more slowly and steadily than dextrose or maltodextrin. This results in a continuous and stable release of glucose into the bloodstream [1].

• Avoiding energy slumps: This steady, delayed release of glucose helps prevent sharp blood sugar spikes and the subsequent energy crashes [1].

Benefits for performance and recovery (EU compliant)

The European Union has attributed specific functions to carbohydrates in relation to physical activity [2]. Due to its molecular properties, Cluster Dextrin® is a superior means of effectively fulfilling these functions.

• Restoration of muscle function: Carbohydrates contribute to the restoration of normal muscle function (contraction) after high-intensity and/or prolonged physical exercise that leads to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscles [2].

• Efficient glycogen replenishment: After intense training, glycogen synthesis in the muscles and liver is crucial for rapid recovery. As stated in the study by Takii, H. et al. (2005), HBCD ensures effective and rapid glycogen synthesis [3].

• Endurance performance support: As stated in the study by Jäger, R. et al. (2017), consuming HBCD during endurance training may support athletic performance by providing sustained energy without burdening the gastrointestinal tract [1].
