The new super carb these days in the supplement market is Highly Branched Cyclin Dextrin (HBCD). So many people try to over think it’s usage, but I’m going to break it down SIMPLY for you all, so that you can get the idea of its purpose easier.<\/p>\n

The main purpose for HBCB is to drive nutrients into your system at super fast speeds (rates will vary from person to person), compared to normal absorption rates.<\/p>\n

Here is how HBCD works…<\/p>\n

\"hbcd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, the whole reason for HBCD is to speed up recovery, so that the body can be fully recovered at all times. If an individual consumes HBCD pre-workout with all their BCAAs, proteins, glutamine, etc then they will be fully recovered and hydrated, and the muscle cells will be in a full anabolic state before they even train. If an individual consumes it Intra-workout, then the body will be stable, recovering consistently during training, fully hydrated, and also still in a anabolic state. The whole purpose really of the product is to shuttle all the main nutrients into the blood stream within minutes. Don’t use HBCD as a main carbohydrate source, but use it as a shuttle to push all your other nutrients into your system, to give it that “insulin-like” effect.<\/p>\n

So as you can see, there really isn’t too much to try and understand. This compound has been a solid nutrient delivery method, and has been giving great results in recent years. It pushes what the body and blood needs to stay anabolic, stay recovered, and grow. If the body isn’t recovered, then it will never grow and regenerate. So the HBCD will aid in making sure the body is ready for battle and growth.<\/p>\n
