Dose: 30g (1 scoop) dissolved in 200 to 500ml of water. Can be consumed before, during, or after training. Vegan (BCAAs are from bacterial synthesis, non-animal origin). Tropical Fruit flavor. 1kg per package (~33 servings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCluster Dextrin® (HBCD): the most advanced generation of carbohydrates for sports performance and recovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin, HBCD) is a highly branched cyclodextrin produced by the Japanese company Hayashibara from corn amylopectin, through an enzymatic cyclization process mediated by branching enzyme. This production technology results in a highly branched and cyclic molecular structure with unique physicochemical characteristics that distinguish it from all other carbohydrates available for sports supplementation. The very high molecular weight of Cluster Dextrin® results in a very low osmolarity in aqueous solution (much lower than maltodextrin, conventional sports drinks, and dextrose), which is key to two critical functional properties: extremely fast gastric emptying time (documented at 20 minutes, compared to 60 to 90 minutes for conventional sugary drinks) and the absence of gastrointestinal discomfort associated with ingesting concentrated carbohydrates during or after exercise. Unlike hyperosmolar beverages (with a high concentration of simple sugars), Cluster Dextrin® is isotonic in moderately concentrated solutions, minimizing the risk of gastric distension, nausea, and diarrhea that many athletes experience with other sources of high-concentration liquid carbohydrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-fast absorption with a smoothed glycemic curve: immediate energy without the glucose peak-and-crash:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOne of the most relevant properties of Cluster Dextrin® is the combination of very rapid intestinal absorption (thanks to accelerated gastric emptying and high water solubility) with a smoother and more sustained glycemic impact than dextrose or maltodextrin. Pharmacokinetic studies with Cluster Dextrin® document that the blood glucose curve after ingestion is significantly flatter and more prolonged than the typical biphasic curve of monosaccharides and disaccharides (sharp glucose peak followed by a rapid drop), which translates into a more stable and sustained energy availability throughout the workout without the phenomenon of reactive hypoglycemia (the \"energy crash\" associated with consuming very fast-absorbing simple sugars). This profile is especially valuable in the intra-workout context (consumption during activity) and immediate post-workout, where the speed of replenishing glycogen stores is critical for recovery, but maintaining stable blood glucose levels is equally important for well-being and continued performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCAAs 2:1:1 (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine): anti-catabolic protection and activation of protein synthesis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBranched-chain amino acids (BCAAs: Branched Chain Amino Acids) in a 2:1:1 ratio (2 parts L-Leucine to 1 part L-Isoleucine and 1 part L-Valine) complement the contribution of Cluster Dextrin® with a specific anti-catabolic and anabolic role for skeletal muscle. Unlike most amino acids, BCAAs are not catabolized in the liver after intestinal absorption, but directly in skeletal muscle, where they serve as a direct energy substrate (via transamination and subsequent oxidation in the Krebs cycle) and as precursors for the synthesis of new muscle proteins. L-Leucine is the BCAA with the greatest anabolic relevance: it is the main activator of the mTOR (mechanistic Target of Rapamycin) pathway in skeletal muscle, the intracellular signaling pathway that regulates muscle protein synthesis. The co-administration of fast-absorbing carbohydrates (which elevate insulin, the main anabolic hormone) with BCAAs (which activate mTOR) creates an anabolic synergy that maximizes muscle protein synthesis in the post-workout period. L-Isoleucine contributes to glucose absorption by the muscle (via GLUT-4 transporter translocation to the cell membrane, independent of insulin). L-Valine supports muscle energy metabolism and contributes to neurotransmitter synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePanel of 4 electrolytes: complete replenishment of minerals lost through sweating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRecoPro includes a panel of 4 electrolytes in the most bioavailable forms for replenishment: \u003cstrong\u003eSodium\u003c\/strong\u003e (via sodium lactate + sodium chloride), the most abundant electrolyte in extracellular fluid and the most lost through sweating, essential for the osmotic gradient that regulates cellular hydration and body fluid balance; \u003cstrong\u003ePotassium\u003c\/strong\u003e (via potassium chloride), the main intracellular electrolyte, essential for the membrane potential of neurons and muscle fibers and for normal muscle contraction; \u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e (via magnesium chloride), a cofactor for over 300 metabolic enzymes, essential for ATP synthesis, muscle contraction, and neuromuscular transmission; \u003cstrong\u003eCalcium\u003c\/strong\u003e (via calcium chloride), the central second messenger of muscle contraction, essential for excitation-contraction coupling in muscle fibers. The loss of electrolytes through sweating (especially during long workouts, in hot environments, or in endurance athletes) causes hydro-electrolyte imbalances that manifest as muscle cramps, early fatigue, reduced muscle contraction strength, and impaired cognitive function. Immediate post-workout replenishment with a complete panel of electrolytes (and not just sodium, like most conventional sports drinks) is a nutritionally more complete recovery strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntra- and post-workout formulation: versatility for different use contexts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRecoPro can be strategically used at multiple times. As an \u003cstrong\u003eintra-workout\u003c\/strong\u003e drink (consumed during activity), Cluster Dextrin® provides immediate and sustained energy without gastrointestinal discomfort, BCAAs protect muscles from catabolism induced by prolonged exercise, and electrolytes replenish what is lost through sweating in real-time. As a \u003cstrong\u003epre-workout\u003c\/strong\u003e (10 to 15 minutes before), the ultra-fast gastric emptying of Cluster Dextrin® ensures that energy is available before the activity begins. As a \u003cstrong\u003epost-workout\u003c\/strong\u003e (immediately after training), the combination of fast-absorbing carbohydrates + BCAAs + electrolytes creates the ideal nutritional condition for recovery: muscle glycogen resynthesis (via Cluster Dextrin®), activation of muscle protein synthesis (via L-Leucine\/mTOR), anti-catabolic protection (via BCAAs), and restoration of hydro-electrolyte balance (via electrolyte panel).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissolve 30g (1 scoop) in 200 to 500ml of water or a drink of your choice.
