Nutrition Benefits
Weight Management
Xylose is a low-calorie sweetener, making it a great alternative for those looking to lose or manage their weight.
GLP-1 Stimulant
Xylose is a potential stimulant of GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1), a hormone produced in the gut that causes reduced appetite and insulin secretion.
Metabolism
The body does not metabolize xylose to any significant degree. It is easily absorbed by the intestines and then excreted through urine.
Manage Postprandial Hypotension
Consumption of xylose can help manage postprandial (post-meal) hypotension, which is a dangerous decrease in blood pressure experienced after eating a meal. Postprandial hypotension includes dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, or falls.
