7Nutrition Cyclic Dextrin is a high-quality dietary supplement containing only highly branched cyclic dextrin (Cluster Dextrin™) – a premium carbohydrate source derived from corn amylopectin through an advanced enzymatic process. It represents one of the most innovative and functional forms of carbohydrates designed for athletes whose training sessions are long, intense, and require precise energy and hydration management. Cyclic dextrin is characterized by its low osmolarity and excellent gastrointestinal tolerance, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive digestive systems.

Unlike traditional carbohydrate sources such as glucose, fructose, or maltodextrin, Cluster Dextrin™ exhibits a stable glycemic profile and a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This ensures sustained energy levels during prolonged physical activity and promotes faster recovery without causing gastrointestinal distress.

Mechanism of Action:

Cluster Dextrin™ (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) – is a technologically advanced carbohydrate source characterized by:

Very low osmolarity, supporting rapid gastric emptying and high tolerance during exercise,
Steady and prolonged glucose release, ensuring stable energy throughout training,
Rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen following physical exertion,
Minimal glucose and insulin fluctuations, reducing the risk of reactive hypoglycemia,
Positive effects on hydration and electrolyte balance, especially when combined with adequate fluids and minerals.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that cyclic dextrin enhances exercise capacity, endurance, and overall performance while minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort. It is ideal for use before, during, or after prolonged physical activity, and serves as an excellent carbohydrate source in post-workout recovery beverages.
