KARBFiX®

Material:

The world’s first purified, 100% corn-free Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD). Developed using NiHTEK’s patent-pending Advanced Precision Hydrolysis™ (APH™) and purification technology. Designed to deliver fast, clean and functional energy across a wide range of food, beverage and nutrition applications. Developed for modern formulations, KARBFiX® provides efficient carbohydrate delivery with excellent solubility, neutral taste and outstanding processing stability. Perfect for Pre, Intra and Post workout formulations.

Built for performance and versatility, KARBFiX® enables brands and manufacturers to formulate clear, stable, great‑tasting energy products without compromising label simplicity or consumer appeal.

Unlike Cluster Dextrin® which is derived from maize (corn), KARBFiX® is derived from pea and tapioca starch with advanced enzymatic treatments and refine filtration.
