MST® CYCLIC DEXTRIN (CLUSTER DEXTRIN®): The premium carbohydrate for endurance, glycogen synthesis, and stomach comfort
MST® Cyclic Dextrin is a pure, highly soluble powder consisting of 100% Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD), known by the brand name Cluster Dextrin®. This dietary supplement is made in Germany (MADE IN GERMANY) and was specifically developed for athletes who need a constant, stomach-friendly energy source. The product is unflavored (Natural Flavour) and ideal for mixing with electrolytes or amino acids.

The science of Cluster: What makes HBCD so special
Conventional carbohydrates such as dextrose or maltodextrin can often cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to their molecular structure and high osmotic pressure, as they slow gastric emptying [1]. Highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) solves this problem thanks to a unique molecular structure that makes it an ideal carbohydrate source for endurance athletes [1].
1. Low osmolality and rapid gastric passage
-
Low osmotic pressure: Unlike simple sugars or maltodextrin, HBCD has very low osmotic pressure [1].
-
Rapid gastric emptying: This property ensures extremely rapid gastric emptying [1], minimizing the risk of nausea, bloating, and stomach discomfort that typically occur when consuming carbohydrates during training [1].
-
Hydration benefit: Rapid passage into the small intestine also indirectly supports fluid absorption (hydration), which is beneficial for maintaining fluid balance during exercise [1].
2. Constant energy supply and blood sugar management
-
Steady release: Cluster Dextrin® is broken down into glucose more slowly and evenly than dextrose or maltodextrin. This results in a continuous and stable release of glucose into the bloodstream [1].
-
Avoiding energy crashes: This constant and delayed release of glucose helps prevent sharp blood sugar spikes and the subsequent drops in energy [1].
Benefits for performance and recovery (EU compliant)
The European Union has attributed specific functions to carbohydrates in connection with physical activity [2]. Due to its molecular properties, Cluster Dextrin® is a superior means of effectively fulfilling these functions.
-
Restoration of muscle function: Carbohydrates contribute to the restoration of normal muscle function (contraction) after high-intensity and/or prolonged physical activity that has led to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle [2].
-
Efficient glycogen replenishment: After intensive training, glycogen synthesis in the muscles and liver is crucial for rapid recovery. As stated in the study by Takii, H. et al. (2005), HBCD ensures effective and rapid glycogen synthesis [3].
-
Support for endurance performance: As stated in the study by Jäger, R. et al. (2017), consuming HBCD during endurance training can support athletic performance by providing consistent energy without placing strain on the gastrointestinal tract [1].
