What is Cluster Dextrin?
Conventional sports beverages are loaded with dextrose and maltodextrin which are relatively low molecular carbohydrates with high glycemic index scores. However these products produce energy level swings throughout a workout or athletic event, as well as the discomfort associated with conventional sports drinks. Cluster dextrin, on the other hand, is an exceptional ingredient that provides a steady increase in blood sugar levels over time leading to solutions to the issues raised by dextrose and maltodextrin.
Thanks to its unique properties, Cluster Dextrin is becoming a popular carbohydrate supplement among athletes . It's commonly used as a pre-workout supplement to increase their endurance and improve their performance. Additionally, it is also used during long-duration events, such as marathons and triathlons, to maintain energy levels.
According to a 2020 report by Market Research Future, the global cluster dextrin market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2020 to 2023. This expansion is due to an increase in the demand for sports nutrition products among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. In a survey of 500 athletes conducted by NutraIngredients, 27% of respondents said they had used cluster dextrin as a pre-workout supplement, making it the second most popular pre-workout supplement after caffeine. In an other study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, researchers discovered that cluster dextrin outperformed maltodextrin, a typical carbohydrate supplement, in boosting endurance performance in trained cyclists. All of this research indicates that Cluster Dextrin is a valuable ingredient and in high demand for any trendy sports beverages.
