SusCarb® Dextrin
- Sports Nutrition Supplement
SusCarb® Dextrin - Sustainable Carbohydrate
SusCarb® Dextrin is widely used as a pre-, intra-, and post-workout supplement by general fitness enthusiasts and elite athletes for endurance performance.
Apparent Characteristics
- Highly soluble in water
- Transparent
- Colorless
- Odorless
Hygroscopy and Stability
- Low moisture absorption ( <18% at 40°C, 75% humidity)
- Highly stable
Molecular Weight Distribution and Purity
Compared to HBCD products on the market, SusCarb® has:
- Narrower and more uniform molecular weight distribution
- Almost no oligosaccharides
- The average molecular weight is around 60, 000 ‒ 100, 000 Da
Branching Ratio
SusCarb® Dextrin has more α-1, 6-glycosidic bonds:
- 11% higher than other commercially available HBCD products
- 40% higher than maltodextrin
The higher branching percentage of α-1, 6-glycosidic bonds correlates with a slower release of glucose in vivo.
Enhancement in Exercise Performance
SusCarb® VS Glucose: Exercise Performance ↑ 121%
SusCarb® VS Maltodextrin: Exercise Performance ↑ 33%
Positive Impacts on key factors for Exercise Performance
- Blood Glucose
- Muscle Glycogen
- Norepinephrine
- Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
- Glutathione Peroxidase
Lower Osmolarity， Faster Absorption
- With the same energy supplied by different carbohydrates, SusCarb® has the lowest osmolarity, allowing more space for formulating.
- Isotonic beverages formulated with SusCarb® are able to replenish water, energy and electrolytes quickly and simultaneously.
Applications
SusCarb® is a versatile ingredient
Energy Gel
Powder
Satchets

Gummies
SusCarb® Dextrin is a unique, highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) from Zymebase Inc., utilizing cutting-edge green biotechnology.
SusCarb® Dextrin has a higher branching ratio and a narrower and more uniform molecular weight distribution than other HBCDs on the market but maintains the physio-biochemical attributes of HBCD, including high molecular weight, low osmolarity, and high solubility.
