Transparent Labs Strength Series Cyclic Dextrin is a scientifically formulated carbohydrate supplement that enhances workout performance and muscle recovery by bolstering glycogen stores and providing extra energy when you need it most. Each serving delivers 25g of patented Cluster Dextrin®, a novel form of maltodextrin known as highly branched cyclic dextrin.


Unlike many carbohydrate powders and sports beverages, Cluster Dextrin® rapidly passes through the stomach and enters the small intestine, where it's slowly absorbed into the bloodstream. As such, Cluster Dextrin® is preferable for athletes and gym-goers since it won't cause sharp swings in blood sugar or lead to gastrointestinal (GI) distress/upset stomach.

Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin)

25 g
Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) is a premium carbohydrate providing sustained energy, improved performance, and efficient glycogen replenishment without digestive discomfort.

Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin)

25 g

Cluster Dextrin is a patented form of highly branched cyclic dextrin, an atypical carbohydrate made from waxy maize amylopectin using branching enzymes that introduce extensive branching into its molecular structure. In turn, highly branched cyclic dextrin has a molecular weight of ~400,000 g/mol, far exceeding that of dextrose (180 g/mol) and maltodextrin (400-2,000 g/mol) found in most carbohydrate supplements [1].

The high molecular weight of highly branched cyclic dextrin imparts high water solubility, very low osmolality, and resistance to retrogradation. As such, Cluster Dextrin® is easier to tolerate for athletes and won’t cause the gastrointestinal discomfort of conventional sports drinks [2]. 

Numerous clinical studies have shown that athletes given highly branched cyclic dextrin pre-workout experience significantly greater peak performance capacity and reduced rates of perceived exertion (RPE) compared to those given sports beverages with dextrose/glucose or maltodextrin [3, 4]. 

Supplementing with Cluster Dextrin® after training helps replenish muscle glycogen and create a more anabolic environment for maximal recovery, especially when combined with a quality protein source like grass-fed whey isolate [5, 6].
