MST® CYCLIC DEXTRIN (CLUSTER DEXTRIN®): The Premium Carbohydrate for Endurance, Glycogen Synthesis, and Gastric Comfort
MST® Cyclic Dextrin is a pure, highly soluble powder consisting of 100% Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD), known under the brand name Cluster Dextrin®. This dietary supplement is Made in Germany (MADE IN GERMANY) and was specifically developed for athletes requiring a constant, stomach-friendly energy source. The product is unflavored (Natural Flavour) and is ideal for mixing with electrolytes or amino acids.

The Science of the Cluster: What Makes HBCD So Special
Conventional carbohydrates, such as dextrose or maltodextrin, can often lead to gastrointestinal discomfort due to their molecular structure and high osmotic pressure, as they slow down gastric emptying [1]. Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD) solves this problem thanks to a unique molecular structure, making it an ideal carbohydrate source for endurance athletes [1].
1. Low Osmolality and Rapid Gastric Passage
-
Low Osmotic Pressure: Unlike simple sugars or maltodextrin, HBCD has a very low osmotic pressure [1].
-
Rapid Gastric Emptying: This property ensures extremely fast gastric emptying [1], minimizing the risk of nausea, bloating, and stomach discomfort typically associated with carbohydrate intake during exercise [1].
-
Hydration Advantage: The rapid passage into the small intestine indirectly supports fluid absorption (hydration), which is beneficial for maintaining water balance during exertion [1].
2. Consistent Energy Supply and Blood Sugar Management
-
Even Release: Cluster Dextrin® is broken down into glucose slower and more steadily than dextrose or maltodextrin. This leads to a continuous and stable release of glucose into the bloodstream [1].
-
Avoiding Performance Dips: This constant and delayed release of glucose helps prevent sharp blood sugar spikes and the subsequent energy crashes [1].
Benefits for Performance and Recovery (EU-Compliant)
The European Union has attributed specific functions to carbohydrates related to physical activity [2]. Cluster Dextrin® is a superior means of effectively fulfilling these functions due to its molecular properties.
-
Restoration of Muscle Function: 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 [2].
-
Efficient Glycogen Store Replenishment: After intense training, the synthesis of glycogen in the muscles and liver is crucial for rapid regeneration. As indicated in the study by Takii, H. et al. (2005), HBCD ensures effective and rapid glycogen synthesis [3].
-
Support for Endurance Performance: As indicated in the study by Jäger, R. et al. (2017), HBCD intake during endurance training can support athletic performance by providing constant energy without stressing the gastrointestinal tract [1].
