Cluster Dextrin · 2000g

Big Zone Cyclo Dextrin (formerly Cluster Dextrin) is a patented designer carbohydrate which is correctly called "highly branched cyclic dextrin". We continue to use the coveted branded raw material Cluster Dextrin® for our product. Cluster dextrin® is a polymer consisting of more than 900 glucose molecules, which has a relatively high molecular mass due to its cyclic structure and therefore a comparatively low osmolarity. This means that it requires less water for transportation in the digestive tract than other carbohydrates. Athletes in many sports therefore describe the use of Cluster Dextrin® as being comparatively well tolerated. But why do they use such a product? Physical training undoubtedly leads to an increased consumption of energy and nutrients. During intensive strength training, there is an increased anaerobic metabolism, which means that carbohydrates are primarily used to generate energy. The intake of carbohydrate solutions can therefore contribute to an improvement in physical performance during high-intensity and prolonged physical exertion in exercising adults. It has also been shown that carbohydrate and electrolyte solutions can help maintain endurance performance during prolonged endurance training and the absorption of water during exercise. This is why many of our athletes combine Big Zone Cyclo Dextrin with our Bulletproof EAAs, which contain all 9 essential amino acids and additional electrolytes. As if that wasn't reason enough to use carbohydrates in liquid form during training, they also contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after high-intensity training that has led to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscles.

How should Big Zone Cyclo Dextrin be taken?

The amount required in each case is highly individual and depends on various factors such as body weight, goal and diet. We recommend mixing BigZone Cyclo Dextrin with at least 10 times the amount of water and preferably taking it before, during or after training.
