PGX Viscous Soluble Fiber For Blood Sugar Control

PGX fiber is a non-starch polysaccharide (fibre) with a very high water-absorbing capacity. When consumed with meals, PGX absorbs significant amounts of water, increasing the volume of the food you have eaten and quickly making you feel full, even when your food portions are smaller. (It is important to drink plenty of water when using PGX).

PGX fiber also increases food viscosity (gel-like quality), slowing the rate at which food is digested and absorbed. This prolongs after-meal satiety and helps normalize blood sugar levels and insulin secretion. Leveling out sugar absorption eliminates the "blood sugar roller coaster" - when food intake causes excess insulin to be secreted, which then causes hunger due to blood sugar dropping, which then causes you to consume more food, which then causes more insulin secretion, etc. These ups and downs in blood sugar are very hard on the body and make it very difficult to lose weight. PGX® Helps You:

* Reduce appetite and food intake

* Lower after-meal blood sugar levels

* Reduce the glycemic index of meals by up to 50%

* Increase insulin sensitivity

* Balance blood cholesterol levels

* Lose weight safely - 0.5 to 2 lbs per week

* Reduce risk factors related to diabetes, pre-diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

* Lmprove regularity

PGX Fiber Can Lower After Meal Blood Sugar Levels

PGX^® increases food viscosity (gel-like quality), slowing the rate at which food is digested and absorbed.

In addition, the American Dietetic Association, in their position paper on the health implications of dietary fiber, state that considerable experimental evidence demonstrates that the addition of viscous dietary fibers slows gastric emptying rates, digestion, and the absorption of glucose to benefit immediate postprandial glucose metabolism and long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus (Marlett et al, 2002).
