Ingredients explained
Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (Cluster Dextrin)
This carbohydrate features a high molecular weight and low osmolality, which may allow faster stomach emptying and a steadier release of glucose to support energy and glycogen replenishment.
Caution: Start with one scoop to assess tolerance, as fast-digesting carbs can cause digestive discomfort if taken in large amounts quickly.
Calcium (from Calci-K calcium potassium phosphate citrate)
Calcium serves as an essential mineral for muscle contraction and cellular signaling during exercise.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use if you already consume high-calcium foods or supplements, as excess intake may contribute to digestive upset.
Magnesium (from di-magnesium malate)
Magnesium functions as a cofactor in energy metabolism and supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: High magnesium intake from supplements may loosen stools; consider spacing doses if combining with other magnesium products.
Sodium (from sodium phosphate)
Sodium supports fluid balance and helps maintain normal nerve impulses and muscle function, especially with sweat loss.
Caution: If following a low-sodium diet, account for sodium from all sources to avoid excessive intake.
Potassium (from Calci-K calcium potassium citrate)
Potassium is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and normal muscle function.
Caution: Those limiting potassium intake should consider total daily potassium from foods and supplements.
How they work together
Highly branched cyclic dextrin provides a rapidly digesting carbohydrate source while releasing glucose gradually, supporting steady energy. The added electrolytes calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium help maintain fluid and muscle function during training, complementing the carb fuel.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Intended as a dietary supplement only. Do not use as the sole source of nutrition.
Who should be cautious: People monitoring blood sugar or carbohydrate intake, such as those with metabolic concerns. Individuals sensitive to artificial sweeteners like sucralose or acesulfame potassium. Those on medications that interact with calcium or magnesium may consider spacing doses to avoid absorption issues; discuss with a healthcare provider if unsure.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Super Carb is a breakthrough in carbohydrate technology designed to fuel performance through the use of a patented carbohydrate Cluster Dextrin®. Unlike typical carbs such as dextrose or fructose. Cluster Dextrin® is a low glycemic, highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) with a high molecular weight and ultra-low osmolality. These properties of HBCD make it highly soluble and promote fast gastric emptying, virtually eliminating the gastric distress often associated with less advanced carbohydrates. Cluster Dextrin® also maintains a slow release, offering the ideal interaction between carbohydrate breakdown and the normal release of free fatty acids. The result is a superior carbohydrate that delivers smooth, constant energy and replenishes muscle glycogen stores without spiking blood sugar levels.
