PGX® 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.
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).
