Is highly branched cyclic dextrin bad for you?
The results of this study demonstrate that HBCD is digested to normal and safe products of carbohydrate digestion, and therefore, support the safety of HBCD for human consumption.
What are the benefits of cyclic dextrin?
- Boosting athletic performance.
- Delaying fatigue and exhaustion.
- Regulating your blood sugar levels during exercise.
- Improving post-workout recovery.
- Reducing post-workout muscle soreness.
- Improves overall strength.
- Increases lean muscle mass, while reducing body fat percentage.
Does Hbcd spike insulin?
In an animal study, HBCD had a lower impact on insulin increase than the same amount of glucose (Takii et al., 1999). We were unable to measure insulin levels in this study because of limitations in the amount of blood collected.
What does highly branched cyclic dextrin do?
The cyclic dextrin allows you to increase carbohydrate consumption without eating starchy carbs that may lead to a bloated and sluggish feeling. This allows endurance and CrossFit athletes to be adequately fueled and glycogen stores replenished without feeling bloated.Aug 23, 2018
