Product Review
Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin is formed through the breakdown of amylopectin using enzymatic treatments into clusters, which are then formed in to larger chains using additional branching enzymes. Studies suggest that Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin offers a rapid gastric emptying time based on its low osmolality and high molecular weight, thereby allowing for faster absorption of nutrients and increased recovery post-workout. True Nutrition's Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin can be purchased raw, or can be mixed with your favorite flavors and additives! And don't forget to include Electrolytes to replenish and rehydrate following extensive exercise.
