Cyclic Dextrin is an advanced carbohydrate source designed for high-intensity exercise. Its highly branched structure means it leaves the stomach quickly for fast availability — yet it breaks down gradually, delivering carbohydrates that support sustained release.

This makes it effective before, during, or after training: light on the stomach during tough sessions, and reliable enough to replenish energy afterwards.

Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise, making Cyclic Dextrin an important part of a recovery strategy.¹​

• Rapidly available carbohydrate source
• Breaks down gradually for sustained availability
• Light on the stomach, even mid-session
• Supports recovery after intensive training¹
• Mixes easily with water or other supplements
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
• Informed Choice certified

Cyclic Dextrin is structurally different from simple sugars. Its molecular design supports both rapid uptake and gradual breakdown, giving athletes a carbohydrate source that’s efficient, steady, and easier on the stomach.

This combination makes it useful across multiple phases of training — as a quick-access energy source, as a steady supply mid-session, and as an effective replenishment tool in recovery.

What is Cyclic Dextrin?
Cyclic Dextrin (highly branched cyclic dextrin, or HBCD) is a carbohydrate produced through enzymatic breakdown of starch. Its highly branched molecular structure makes it soluble, rapidly available, and designed for gradual release.

How does Cyclic Dextrin work in the body?
Because of its structure, Cyclic Dextrin leaves the stomach quickly, meaning it becomes available for use faster than many other carbohydrate sources. At the same time, its gradual breakdown supports a steady supply of carbohydrate to working muscles.

When should Cyclic Dextrin be consumed?
Cyclic Dextrin can be consumed before, during, or after exercise. Used pre- or intra-workout, it provides carbohydrate availability without sitting heavy. Consumed post-workout, it contributes to the recovery of normal muscle function after intensive or long-lasting exercise.¹

Who can benefit from Cyclic Dextrin?
It is intended for athletes and active individuals undertaking high-intensity or endurance-based training. The powder is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.

What can Cyclic Dextrin be combined with?
It mixes easily with water but can also be paired with electrolytes for hydration, amino acids for muscle support, or protein powders as part of a complete recovery shake.

¹ Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.
