Applied NutritionCarb X Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin Carbohydrates, Intra & Post Workout Carbs Powder, Fuel Training & Recovery, Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, 1.2kg 48 Servings (Fruit Burst)

I’ve been using Applied Nutrition Carb X as part of my pre- and post-workout routine, and it’s quickly become a staple in my supplement stack. The main ingredient is highly branched cyclic dextrin, which is known for its fast gastric emptying and sustained energy release — and this product lives up to that reputation.Mixability (5/5):It mixes easily in water or with other supplements (like EAAs or creatine) without any clumping. I’ve tried it with both a shaker and just stirring with a spoon — both work fine.Taste (5/5):I use the unflavored version, and it's genuinely neutral — no strange aftertaste, which makes it easy to stack with flavored pre-workouts or protein shakes.Performance (5/5):I’ve noticed more consistent energy during longer training sessions, especially when taken pre-workout. No bloating or digestive discomfort, which I’ve had with other carb powders. Also great for quick post-workout glycogen replenishment.Packaging & Delivery (5/5):The product arrived well-packaged and on time. The resealable pouch is sturdy and keeps the powder fresh. Scoop included, which is always appreciated.Final thoughts:If you're looking for a clean, effective carbohydrate supplement that supports performance and recovery, Carb X is a solid choice. Great for endurance athletes, weightlifters, or anyone needing a reliable intra-workout carb source. Highly recommend.---Let me know if you want a shorter version or one that includes a different tone (more casual or technical).

Mixes well, and a quick carb source with no bloating. The flavour is much more improved.

Very good carb powder, tastes ok (it’s a carb powder!), performs well under high endurance activities - 4-7 hours cycling. Definitely makes a difference and I’d say it’s better than normal maltodextrin mixes.

If you play high intensity sports like football and need quick long lasting energy, look no further than cyclic dextrin. Fast gastric emptying, meaning you can take it just before your activity and it bypasses the gut to go straight to your muscles, whilst giving you a steady supply of energy at the same time.I use two scoops of the unflavoured version in a litre of water with my flavoured sugar free squash of choice, drinking 500ml before the game and 500ml at half time. This provides 200 calories of steady energy that really helps prevent me from getting exhausted.Another great benefit of dextrin is that because it bypasses the gut, there's no GI distress so will work for anyone and everyone.A tip........ this stuff will stick to the bottom of your mixer jug/bottle if you don't mix it as follows....... using a large 2 litre jug, fill it with water and if using the unflavoured version, your squash of choice. 500ml for one level scoop or one litre for two scoops. Using an electric hand blender, start stirring at the slowest speed, then start adding the powder whilst continuing to stir.I chose this product because it was better value than most of the other cyclic dextrin powders on Amazon.

I buy this product regularly. Good taste. Easy to swallow. Very happy with it.

Tastes amazing and mixes very well, was skeptical of the taste as not a big fan of strawberry flavoured things but this wasn’t overpowering or too fake tasting. 1 scoop in a 500ml shaker to drink during my session and keeps me fuelled during long sessions

I have used this product many times, easy to mix, top quality product, & does the job after & b4 a workout!

Always good, the flavours don't taste artificial and it helps keep me focused when I'm flagging
