Product Information

Full details

Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD) Powder is an advanced carbohydrate supplement designed for endurance athletes and power lifters who require a rapid yet sustained energy source. It provides an efficient fuel supply that promotes faster gastric emptying and minimal blood sugar spikes compared to simpler sugars, though its specialized nature and premium formulation make it a more expensive option than standard glucose or maltodextrin powders.

FAQs

When is the best time to consume HBCD?

It is best consumed intra-workout for endurance or post-workout to support glycogen replenishment.

Can I mix this with protein powder?

Yes, it mixes perfectly with protein powder to create a comprehensive intra or post-workout recovery shake.

Does this cause an insulin spike?

It provides a more stable blood glucose response compared to simple sugars, though it still elicits an insulin response necessary for nutrient delivery.

Is this suitable for vegans?

Yes, this product is generally suitable for vegetarians and vegans unless otherwise specified on the specific batch packaging.

How many servings are in the 2.5 kg container?

Serving sizes vary by individual goals, but at a standard 30g scoop, you can expect approximately 80 servings.

Why is it better than Maltodextrin?

HBCD has a much lower osmolality, meaning it leaves the stomach faster, which reduces the chance of stomach cramping.

Troubleshooting

Powder is clumping in the container

Ensure the storage area is moisture-free and that the bag is sealed tight. Using a moisture-absorbing silica packet can also help.

Difficulty dissolving in cold water

Add half the liquid first, mix into a paste, then add the remaining liquid while continuing to shake or stir.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes digestive distress during high-intensity training
  • Rapidly absorbed for quick energy availability
  • Highly soluble in liquids for lump-free mixing
  • Sustains energy levels without major glycemic crashes

Cons

  • More expensive than basic carbohydrate sources
  • Requires proper measurement for optimal results
  • Bulk 2.5 kg size may be too large for casual users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation

Add the recommended serving size to 300-500ml of water or your preferred sports beverage. Shake or stir vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved. It is compatible with most protein powders, creatine, and pre-workout supplements.

Storage and Care

Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent moisture from entering the pouch or container, as humidity can cause the powder to clump over time.
