Glico’s Cluster Dextrin Receives Kosher and Halal Certification

The sports nutrition ingredient earns new regulatory and safety approval.

Cluster Dextrin, a formulation of Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD) from Glico Nutrition Co., has been awarded both Kosher and Halal certification.

The ingredient has been clinically proven to benefit stamina when used as a functional food ingredient, without stomach upset and short-term effectiveness. Cluster Dextrin also boasts versatility in sports drinks, processed foods, and nutritional supplements.

These new certifications join a list of international standards of quality that the nutritional ingredient has met since its introduction in the Japanese sports nutrition market nearly two decades ago. Cluster Dextrin has held FDA GRAS status since 2012, and a U.S. trademark registration almost from its inception.
