What is Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) Powder?
Highly branched cyclic dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®) by RawSeries is a powdered food supplement, based on highly branched cyclic dextrin Cluster Dextrin®.
Cluster Dextrin (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) is a new type of dextrin produced from amylopectin by the cyclisation reaction of a branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18).
Genuine Cluster Dextrin® contains no added sugars in its composition and is suitable for vegetarians.
Properties of Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.1
Why buy Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin?
Because we develop our product from the pure raw material Cluster Dextrin®!
Properties of Cluster Dextrin®
Cluster Dextrin®, due to its physicochemical characteristics, has some interesting properties.
Molecular weight distribution
Cluster Dextrin® has a narrower molecular weight distribution than other dextrins.
This may be partly due to the high specificity of the branching enzymes used in its production.
Cluster Dextrin® has a high molecular weight.
Water-soluble and stable
Although Cluster Dextrin® has a high molecular weight, it also has a high solubility.
A solution of Cluster Dextrin® has the following characteristics compared to other dextrins of similar dextrose equivalents:
- It creates a low osmotic pressure in the solution.
- It increases the amount of carbohydrates that can be used per volume of liquid.
Low sweetness
The sweetness level of Cluster Dextrin® is extremely low, due to its high purity and the fact that it contains fewer low molecular weight substances.
This is another characteristic of the product:
Higher concentrations can be used in solution as they do not significantly alter the sweetness and do not cause thirst.
To sum up...
- Good solubility, it doesn't cloud the liquid or settle, even at high concentrations.
- No added sugar, as it is a complex carbohydrate.
- Low sweetness, it doesn't significantly affect the taste of the mixture used.
What does Cluster Dextrin taste like?
Cluster Dextrin has a neutral, slightly sweet taste.

1 The beneficial effect is obtained by consuming carbohydrates from all sources at a total intake of 4 g per kg body weight, in doses taken within four hours (or at most six hours) after the end of high-intensity or long duration physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and depletion of stored glycogen in skeletal muscles.

Great as an intra-workout. I take the neutral flavor combined with flavored amino acids and it goes great.

I wish they would bring out this product with flavors so that it can be taken without the strange taste left by the neutral flavor.

GOOD SUPPLEMENT
EDUARDO 03/10/2025
I think it is very good. I say "I think" because I have been using it for a short time. I use it in intra-workout, I put 20gr, along with 10gr BCAAs 4:1:1, 10gr of glutamine and 1gr of salt. I notice that I train more fluid, finishing the series better. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not. The zip of the bag does not close as it should, it remains a little open, as in almost all products.

Unbeatable value for money
Jose 09/09/2025
Quality product at a good price. It fulfills what it promises. The RAW (unflavored) line always leaves a somewhat particular aftertaste at the end, I try to mix it with something flavored.

Ivan 05/09/2025
Highly branched cyclic dextrin is a fast assimilation carbohydrate with low osmolarity, ideal to take before, during or after training. It provides sustained energy without digestive discomfort, promotes recovery and improves performance in intense or prolonged sessions.
