By binding to the gel,\u003cbr\u003ethe bile acid is not re-absorbed and as a result, the liver needs to produce new bile acid from cholesterol in the bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow GI \u0026amp; Low Starch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAssists in maintaining normal blood glucose levels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSlow energy release – increased satiety\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe best carbohydrate food to eat varies on the individual. For example, the rate at which porridge and cornflakes are broken down to glucose is different. People with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance have become resistant to the action of insulin or cannot produce insulin rapidly enough to match the release of glucose into the blood after eating carbohydrate-containing foods. This means their blood glucose levels may rise above the normal level.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBetaglucare encapsulates carbohydrates from the meal which gives the body a chance to respond with production of insulin, and the rise in blood glucose levels is therefore less. Adding Betaglucare to a regular meal allows blood levels to be maintained at more manageable levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh in Fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFibre keeps the digestive tract healthy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSoluble fibre soaks up water like a sponge, which helps to plump out the faeces and allows it to pass through the gut more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt acts to slow down the rate of digestion.
