LifePro Cluster Dextrin is a carbohydrate powder formulated exclusively from highly branched cyclodextrin, a specific form of carbohydrate derived from starch.
Mainly used in sports nutrition, this type of ingredient has technical characteristics that distinguish it from traditional carbohydrates. This makes it a popular choice for people looking for a different, pure, and easily integrated carbohydrate source in their diet.
What is the Cluster Dextrin® used by LifePro?
A cyclodextrin obtained from starch
Cluster Dextrin® is a carbohydrate ingredient produced from starch through a controlled enzymatic process. This process leads to the formation of complex cyclic structures called highly branched cyclodextrins.
It is a carbohydrate composed of glucose units, like starch or maltodextrin, but organized differently. This particular structure gives it specific physical properties, especially in terms of solubility and behavior in liquids.
LifePro uses a pure powder, made from 100% Cluster Dextrin® Cyclodextrin, without mixing other carbohydrates.
A carbohydrate source found in food in natural forms
Cyclodextrins are not naturally present in food. However, their building blocks (glucose units) are widely found in food. They are found in:
- cereals (rice, wheat, corn);
- tubers (potato);
- legumes;
- certain starchy fruits and vegetables.
Starch, from which cyclodextrin is derived, is one of the main sources of carbohydrates in many diets.
Where are these carbohydrates found in the body?
Glucose, which makes up cyclodextrins, is a sugar naturally present in the body. It is stored as glycogen in two main areas:
- muscles,
- the liver.
Even if cyclodextrin does not exist as such in the body, the carbohydrates that constitute it belong to the family of polysaccharides commonly used and processed by the metabolism.
A carbohydrate-rich powder, suitable for sports practices
An ingredient used in various nutritional preparations
As a carbohydrate-rich powder, highly branched cyclodextrin is mainly incorporated into:
- drinks intended for exercise or physical activity;
Its branched structure and ability to dissolve in water make it practical in liquid mixtures.
A simple and identifiable formula
LifePro Cluster Dextrin deliberately emphasizes simplicity of composition:
- a single ingredient,
- clear traceability thanks to the Cluster Dextrin® label,
- an easily dosable powder that can be integrated into a drink.
How to integrate LifePro Cluster Dextrin into a dietary routine?
In drink form
LifePro Cluster Dextrin mixes easily with water. A common use is to dissolve about 30g of powder in 500ml of liquid. The solubility of the powder allows for a homogeneous mixture, easy to prepare and consume.
In combination with nutritional mixtures
Some people add it to preparations containing:
- free amino acids;
- creatine;
Based on personal goals or habits
The amount of powder used generally depends on dietary habits, sports routine, or individual nutritional needs.
When to consume LifePro Cluster Dextrin?
LifePro Cluster Dextrin can be integrated at different times around physical activity, depending on individual habits and preferences:
- Before training
- During training
- After training
Cluster Dextrin from the LifePro brand is an ingredient easy to integrate into training routines.
