What is Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) powder?

Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (Cluster Dextrin^®) by RawSeries is a vegan powdered food supplement, based on highly branched cyclic dextrin Cluster Dextrin^®.

Cluster Dextrin (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextin) is a new type of dextrin that is produced from amylopectin via the cyclisation reaction of a branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18).

Genuine Cluster Dextrin^® contains no sugars in its composition and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin properties

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after physical exercise of high intensity and/or long duration leading to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.

Why buy Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin?

Because we develop our product from the pure raw material Cluster Dextrin^®!

Properties of Cluster Dextrin®

Cluster Dextrin^® due to its physico-chemical characteristics, it has certain interesting particularities for sportsmen and women.

Molecular weight distribution

Cluster Dextrin^® has a narrower molecular weight distribution than other dextrins.

This may be partly due to the high specificity of the branching enzymes used for their production.

Water soluble and stable

A Cluster Dextrin^® solution has the following characteristics compared to other dextrins of similar dextrose equivalents:

•  Produces a low osmotic pressure in the solution.
•  Increases the amount of carbohydrates to be used per volume of liquid.

Low sweetness

The sweetness level of Cluster Dextrin^® is extremely low, due to its high purity and the fact that it contains fewer low molecular weight substances.

This is another distinguishing feature of the product:

In short...

•  Good solubility, does not cloud the liquid or settle, even at high concentrations.
•  Sugar-free, thanks to being a complex carbohydrate.
•  Low sweetness, does not significantly affect the taste of the mixture used. 

How to take it?

Mix one scoop (25g) in 300-400ml of water.
