Diabetes Management

 

ProPectin helps with blood sugar level control. 

Diabetes sufferers, as well as people concerned with high blood sugar, understand the need for controlling blood sugar spikes. Blood sugar is affected by the food we eat, as well as how quickly it is digested. When food digests, it is broken down in the digestive system and enters the blood stream.

 

ProPectin is scientifically proven to reduce rises in blood sugar

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says “Consumption of pectins contributes to the reduction of the blood glucose rise after meals.” ProPectin contains the highest concentration of pharmaceutical grade, soluble apple pectin.

Two things are relevant with this.

1. The speed at which the food causes a rise in blood sugar

2. How much the food causes the blood sugar to rise.

 

The foods that have a high sugar content as well as digest more quickly can cause blood sugar spikes. Such food is said to have a high postprandial glycaemic response. Foods are then sorted by glycaemic index and this number indicates the effect of that foods impact on blood sugar.
