GAT Cyclic Dextrin – Fast-Acting Carbohydrate Fuel
GAT Cyclic Dextrin is a carbohydrate supplement designed for athletes seeking rapid, efficient energy to fuel intense training and optimize recovery. Each serving delivers 25 grams of Cluster Dextrin®, a patented form of highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) known for its superior solubility, fast gastric clearance, and sustained energy release.
What is Cluster Dextrin?
Cluster Dextrin is a cutting-edge carbohydrate derived from amylopectin through a unique enzymatic process that rearranges its molecular structure into a highly branched, cyclic form. This results in a low-osmolarity carbohydrate that passes quickly through the stomach, allowing for faster absorption in the small intestine. Unlike traditional carbohydrate sources such as dextrose or maltodextrin, Cluster Dextrin provides energy without causing gastrointestinal distress or rapid insulin spikes.
Benefits of GAT Cyclic Dextrin:
-
Fast Gastric Emptying: Cluster Dextrin's low osmolality allows it to exit the stomach rapidly, reducing the risk of bloating or discomfort during training.
-
Sustained Energy: The unique structure of cyclic dextrin provides a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream, supporting prolonged endurance and performance.
-
Supports Recovery: Consuming carbohydrates post-workout helps replenish glycogen stores, aiding in muscle recovery and reducing fatigue.
-
Mixes Easily: GAT Cyclic Dextrin dissolves quickly in water and other beverages, making it easy to incorporate into pre-, intra-, or post-workout nutrition routines.
-
Unflavored and Versatile: Can be stacked with amino acids, electrolytes, or other performance supplements without altering taste or texture.
Cluster Dextrin Use Cases:
-
Intra-Workout Energy: Helps maintain performance during long or high-intensity training sessions.
-
Post-Workout Recovery: Accelerates glycogen replenishment when combined with protein and other recovery nutrients.
-
Pre-Workout Carbohydrate Loading: Suitable for endurance athletes looking to increase carbohydrate intake before competition without gastrointestinal stress.
