Blue energy

The main source of energy is provided by polyols (isomalt) limiting the distortion in blood glucose caused by regular sugar found in similar products. This is due to the very low glycemic index of isomalt.

The Isomalt sweetening profile reduces the metabolization slows the increase of blood glucose and insulin level compared to glucose or sugar after consumption of ISOMALT containing products. By comparing the glycemic response of ISOMALT with glucose and sugar on a gram per gram basis, glucose the reference substance has a glycemic index of 100, sugar a value of 68 whereas ISOMALT only shows a value of 2

A lower glycemic response is often thought to equate to a lower insulin demand, better long-term blood glucose control and a reduction in blood lipids.
