Composition:
This product contains cyclodextrin (highly branched cyclic dextrins) under the Cluster Dextrin ® patent.
What is it for?
In sports traditionally known as endurance sports, carbohydrates are often used during training as a means of obtaining quick energy during sports practice.
Among the most popular carbohydrates, the use of cyclodextrins or highly branched cyclic dextrins has acquired an important role in recent years.
Cyclodextrin is obtained from the enzymatic degradation of starch, which generates a carbohydrate with improved absorption and reduced gastric emptying. Its water-like gastric emptying facilitates its passage through the digestive tract and its concentration in the blood, which often means that it does not cause discomfort in people sensitive to other carbohydrates.
These characteristics allow it to become one of the priority options for carbohydrate supplementation in those athletes who need a continuous supply of carbohydrates, suffer from regular discomfort due to digestion or have a pathology of gastrointestinal origin.
On the other hand, in those athletes of other modalities whose training does not belong to endurance modalities, but who have very high energy requirements, the use of cyclodextrin can be an intelligent option to introduce an extra caloric intake in the periods around the training.
Finally, we must take into account that the consumption of carbohydrates during exercise obeys different transporters when consumed in large quantities, this means that under average amounts of carbohydrates the consumption of a source of glucose such as cyclodextrin is sufficient. However, in those sports where large amounts of carbohydrates are consumed (greater than 45/60/ g) the combination of cyclodextrin with fructose in a 2:1 ratio, may be a good option in order to increase the total amount of carbohydrates during exercise.
Benefits:
- Facilitation of gastric emptying.
- Improved digestion compared to other carbohydrates.
- Ease of incorporation during intra-training periods.
- Obtaining quick energy during exercise.
What dose to consume?
Adapt the dose to your daily energy and nutritional needs. However, the consumption of 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates during exercise has been shown to have an ergogenic effect in medium and long-duration sports.
