Highly branched cyclic dextrin, a fast-absorbing endurance carb
We rank Cluster Dextrin by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Cluster Dextrin is a highly branched cyclic dextrin. This means it is a type of carbohydrate (a sugar) that has been structured into a ring shape with many side chains, which allows it to be processed by the body more efficiently than standard sugars.
It is used primarily as an endurance carbohydrate because it is fast-absorbing. This provides a steady supply of energy to the muscles during long periods of exercise without causing the stomach upset often associated with simpler sugars.
To create this supplement, manufacturers start with corn starch and treat it with specific enzymes. These enzymes break down the starch and reshape the molecules into the characteristic ring structure, which is then dried into a powder for use in supplements.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the specialized enzymatic process required to create the cyclic structure is more complex and costly than the simple refining used for basic sugars or maltodextrin.
