I see mixed reviews on the use of Cluster Dextrin as an intra/post workout supplement to fuel muscle recovery and endurance during training. Does anyone in here use it and what are your thoughts as opposed to other options?

I prefer Karbolyn over HBCD but everyone is different...... HBCD reminded me of Waxy Maize. Cheap Carb source. Chalky taste.
 
I have also seen a lot of good things about Karbolyn. How does it affect insulin levels? I know one of the benefits of HBCD is supposed to be that it won’t spike insulin levels.

@Vision, thanks. I’ve seen the Axe and Sledge stuff. I’ve heard good things. With my cut coming up, I’m planning out how I’m going to make good use of my macros and especially my carbs. I’m going to go to bed paying matriculate attention to the timing of my meals. I workout akd do my cardio fasted so thinking along the lines of post workout meal. But if there would be more benefit to getting something on board intra workout, then I’m open to that as well. But I’ll be paying close attention to the calories of course.

Soon as you can get it dialed in with specific carbs, and where they sit on the glycemic scale, and your timing with everything, you'll be squared away.

Supplements like these are better off for intra, When used that other times during the day they can fuck with your blood sugar.

Karbolyn, creatine , eaa’s a little salt
Intra I use.. I’m still small though. So try something different. 😀
 
I prefer Karbolyn, but I have to be on a high day or something to use it these days, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense without slin or very very high carbs. Muscles should be full of glycogen unless you’re training at 1am and woke up at 12:30 even then probably still full of glycogen from the day before 😅

Sea salt is a must my guy... 🤙🤙
32g of Gatorade powder, 32oz water or more, with a few cranks of sea salt, some BCAAs with electrolytes, EAAs has always been my main go to.
 
Unflavored karbolyn> everything else for intra and post carbs. The flavored shit messes with my stomach.

Been on vacation for a couple weeks using vitargo and now cyclic dextrin. Don’t notice a difference in the gym, but the texture, especially when mixed, is substantially shittier. Be careful to shake vitargo enough immediately after mixing it unless you like semen like clumps in your shake.

Just eat some sour patch kids and call it a day
 
I am a John Meadows fan so if he recommends it & swears by it I will use it!
RIP🙏
 
I have been using USN Anabolic Carbs. USN is a dominant brand here.
$20 for 1.5 kilos. Looks to be similar composition to Karbolyn but a bit cheaper.
Karbolyn is the best but pricey.

Yeah it is spendy......Even when Art Atwood owned the Karbolyn patent, it was $10 more almost 14 years ago. EFX bought Art's patent when he passed,, being such a large company (EFX) they were able to bring cost down...and add electrolytes.
