Diabetic Benefits
Manage Blood Glucose
Regular sugar (sucrose) can lead to high blood glucose (sugar) and insulin resistance over time. When sugar is consumed, it raises blood sugar levels which stimulate beta cells to secrete insulin. Consumption of xylose does not lead to high blood glucose or insulin resistance and is a great, natural sugar alternative for diabetics.
Suppresses Post-Meal Blood Glucose
When xylose is consumed with sugar, it helps to suppress the blood sugar spike that would be caused by consumption of sugar alone.
Anti-Diabetic Effects
Xylose exerts anti-diabetic effects and has been shown to reduce pre-prandial (fasting) blood glucose levels.
Obesity-related Metabolic Prevention
Xylose helps prevent the progression of obesity-related metabolic disorders by improving lipid oxidation.
