PGX (PolyGlycopleX) Daily Granules Fiber Unflavored by Bioclinic Naturals is an unsweetened highly viscous combination of well purified water-soluble
polysaccharides derived from konjac root, sodium alginate, and xantham gum.
Viscous fibers have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose concentrations
and lower total and LDL-cholesterol, primarily by forming a gel matrix which
slows gastric emptying. These viscous granules also trap ingested carbohydrates
and lipids inside the gel matrix, decreasing the transport as well as the
uptake of glucose and cholesterol at absorptive surfaces.
Clinical trials have shown that in addition to the benefits
of glucose and lipid reduction, highly viscous fibers were found to lower
insulin secretion and C-peptide in response to carbohydrate meals, and also
improve glucose tolerance. Viscous fibers effectively reduce the glycemic index
of foods consumed simultaneously, by preventing the postprandial spikes in
blood glucose concentration. Fiber viscosity has also been associated with
increased satiety and reduced appetite; in a randomized trial, PGX reduced
hunger and prospective consumption when combined with a low calorie diet, and
in an earlier trial enhanced weight loss and reduced percent body fat when used
in concert with lifestyle changes. PGX Daily Granules allow for easy
dosing, with 5 g of PGX per scoop, and are unflavored to allow mixing with a
variety of beverages and foods.
PGX Daily Benefits: • Regulates after meal blood glucose levels • Increases insulin sensitivity for less fat storage • High viscosity fibre complex • Sprinkle onto any moist food, low calorie beverage or meal
replacement • Mixes easily in liquids — does not clump • Unflavoured—does not alter the taste of foods • Convenient and economical
PGX Daily Ingredients in 1 scoop: PGX 5 grams (PolyGlycopleX)(Amorphophallus konjac, sodium alginate, xanthan gum) Highly Purified Fiber Complex Manufactured Using the Proprietary Envirosimplex
Process.
This product does not contain artificial colors,
preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast,
soy, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, animal products, tree nuts or GMOs. Suitable
for vegetarians/vegans.
Suggested Use: Stir 1 level scoop 2 to 3 times per day into 375–500 ml of cold water or juice.
Drink additional water (375–500 ml) after ingesting PGX. Begin with 1 scoop and
gradually increase over several days as tolerated. Up to 1 scoop 3 times per
day may be required in some cases, or take as directed by your healthcare
practitioner. Use consistently with or without meals or with healthy snacks to
obtain the desired results.
Take other medications one hour prior to or two hours after
taking PGX. If your goal is to achieve weight loss, or if you are diabetic or
on cholesterol lowering medications, consult your healthcare practitioner prior
to use.
Serving Option: PGX Daily Granules are unflavoured and can
also be sprinkled onto any moist food, yogurt, fruit salad, oatmeal, soup,
low-calorie beverage or meal replacement.
Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are
under 18 years of age, are pregnant or nursing, or have any health concerns. A
reduction in serum glucose concentrations by PGX may require a lowering of the
dosage of any antidiabetic medications, and serum glucose should be monitored
closely to prevent hypoglycemia. Oral medications may need to be taken one hour
prior or two hours after PGX, to prevent a slowing down in their absorption.
Similarly, fat-soluble vitamins should be taken separately.
Keep out of reach of children.
