Maintain the blood sugar

Reducose®

Elevated blood glucose levels after meals can lead to various health complications, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Managing postprandial blood glucose is crucial for maintaining overall metabolic health and preventing long-term complications.

Reducose® is a proprietary water extract of mulberry leaf, shown in seven clinical studies to significantly lower blood glucose and the glycaemic index of foods by inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes. This action mimics the effects of diets rich in fiber and resistant starch, reducing glucose absorption and lowering blood glucose and insulin responses by delaying carbohydrate digestion in the upper small intestines.

After an hour, Reducose® dissociates from digestive enzymes, is absorbed into the bloodstream, and excreted unmetabolized through the kidneys, avoiding impacts on the gut microbiome.
