Manufacturer: Life Extension High-glycemic index foods cause weight gain by inducing the overproduction of insulin. A fiber blend called WellBetX PGX (TM) helps to limit the absorption of dietary sugars into the bloodstream, thereby reducing the release of insulin by as much as 40%!8 Only small amounts are required to help maintain healthy blood glucose and insulin levels that are already within normal range. By taking just three grams of this new soluble fiber blend before ingesting high-glycemic foods, the amount of glucose absorbed can be reduced by as much as 23% and the ensuing insulin surge cut by 40%.9 The patent-pending PGX (TM) formula is the result of hundreds of tests designed to create a highly viscous fiber that helps maintain a healthy balance of some carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract before they are assimilated into the bloodstream.9 Overweight people are trying to curb their intake of high-glycemic carbohydrates, yet despite ever-greater consumption of "low carb" foods, the obesity epidemic worsens every year. One problem is that many foods induce excess insulin production, thus making it virtually impossible to avoid meals that promote fat gain. High-glycemic index foods cause weight gain by inducing the overproduction of insulin. People trying to lose weight feel guilty when consuming such basic foods as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes. A sugar-laden dessert is a disaster for those seeking to achieve meaningful fat loss. By taking just three grams of this new soluble fiber blend before ingesting high-glycemic foods, the amount of glucose absorbed can be reduced by as much as 23% and the ensuing insulin surge cut by 40%.43* This novel fiber blend may not only facilitate the weight-loss effects of diet and exercise, but also help protect against a host of health problems in which excess insulin is a significant culprit.* The patent-pending PGX (TM) formula is the result of hundreds of tests designed to create a highly viscous fiber that helps maintain a healthy balance of some carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract before they are assimilated into the bloodstream.44* This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program.
