Clinical trials have shown that in addition to the benefits of glucose and lipid reduction, highly viscous fibres were found to lower insulin secretion and C-peptide in response to carbohydrate meals, and also improve glucose tolerance.3,4 Viscous fibres effectively reduce the glycemic index of foods consumed simultaneously, by preventing the postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration.5,6 Fibre 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.7,8 PGX Daily Granules allow for easy dosing, with 5 g of PGX per scoop, and are unflavoured to allow mixing with a variety of beverages and foods.

Contraindications

Consult a health care professional prior to use if you are under 18 years of age, pregnant or breastfeeding, or have any health concerns. If you are taking medications, take one hour prior to or two hours after taking PGX Daily. If your goal is to achieve weight loss, or if you are diabetic or on cholesterol lowering medications, consult a qualified health care professional prior to use. Those with a known allergy to the fibres in PGX should avoid it. Individuals at risk for intestinal obstruction, such as those with systemic sclerosis, should increase fibre intake with caution. A small percentage of people may initially experience minor digestive changes when taking PGX Daily. Slowly work up to the full dose to give your body time to adjust. It is important to drink adequate amounts of water (375–500 ml) immediately after taking PGX Daily. Keep out of reach of children.

Drug Interactions

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.9 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.
