SusCarb™ Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD)

SusCarb™ is a next-generation carbohydrate developed by Zymebase Inc., technically classified as Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD). Created through an advanced enzymatic process rooted in green biotechnology, SusCarb™ is designed to provide a superior energy source for athletes and active individuals. It delivers rapid-acting, sustained energy without the digestive discomfort or blood glucose spikes often associated with conventional carbohydrates. Its distinctive branched molecular architecture enables rapid absorption, making SusCarb™ an ideal choice for sports nutrition and endurance performance.

SusCarb™ enhances endurance and delays onset of fatigue during prolonged exercise. In controlled laboratory studies, athletes who consumed beverages containing SusCarb™ sustained longer performance times – such as extended swimming to exhaustion – than those who used conventional carbohydrate sources. SusCarb™ supports a steadier release of energy, helps preserve muscle glycogen, and contributes to hormonal balance (including ACTH and epinephrine), all of which are vital for sustained vitality and performance. It also promotes stable blood glucose levels without provoking sharp insulin spikes.

SusCarb™ offers exceptional versatility for a wide range of sports and performance-nutrition applications. Its excellent solubility, neutral flavor, and non-hygroscopic nature make it ideal for pre-, intra-, and post-workout drinks, energy bars, gels, isotonic beverages, functional gums, and jellies. Suitable for professional athletes as well as recreational fitness enthusiasts, SusCarb™ provides a reliable energy source across various formulations and use cases.
