Main Benefit:
PGX - A Revolutionary Fiber Complex
PGX Fiber Blend binds to the water in the digestive tract to form a gelatinous, viscous mass which slows glucose absorption and creates a sense of satiety (fullness) while reducing the absorption of calories.
This impressive PGX Blend, short for PolyGlycopleX, exerts 3 to 5 times the effects of other fibers. A key component of PGX is glucomannan, a soluble fiber from the root of konjac. It is 3 times more viscous than guar and 7 times more viscous than psyllium. With this, and the other components it contains, PGX has a viscosity 3 to 5 times greater than glucomannan alone.
PGX:
• lowers postprandial blood glucose by 20%
• lowers insulin secretion by 40%
• improves whole body insulin sensitivity by nearly 50%
• is unequalled by any drug or natural product.
PGX capsules also contain an extract of mulberry leaves, shown to block certain enzymes that break down starches and sugars in the body, thereby diminishing after-meal rises in glucose and insulin.
Product Details
If you are looking for the best of the best in brand name nutrition products at an incredibly low price, you have found it. Fiber acts as a bulking agent in the stomach and intestine, which means you feel fuller and may eat less. Soluble fiber is derived from the gums, pectins, mucilages, and some hemicellulose of fruits, oats, barley, and legumes. Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel–like substance in the process as it passes through the digestive tract. This slows digestion and lowers the rate of nutrient absorption (such as sugars and fats) from the stomach and intestine, resulting in the maintenance of both glucose and cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.
Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, acts as a natural laxative that speeds the passage of foods through the stomach. It also gives stool its bulk and helps it move quickly through the gastrointestinal tract, helping maintain gut regularity.
Insoluble fiber can be found in the peel of fruit, such as apples and grapes. When the non–digestible fibers reach the colon, anaerobic bacteria degrade them in a process called fermentation. This process produces byproducts known as short–chain fatty acids, which help maintain proper acid/base balance in the colon and may be beneficial to healthy colonic mucosa function.
Low–fat diets rich in fiber–containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain some types of dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, may reduce the risk of heart disease, a disease associated with many factors.
PGX® Proprietary Blend contains glucomannan, a soluble and fermentable fiber derived from the root of konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), which is native to Asia. Glucomannan is differentiated from other soluble fibers by its extraordinarily high viscosity. As this water–soluble fiber travels through the digestive tract, it forms a highly viscous, gel–like mass that can promote feelings of fullness, which helps maintain healthy body weight.
Taking just three grams of this soluble fiber blend before ingesting high–glycemic foods will help maintain glucose levels and blood lipid levels that are already within normal range.
