How It Works
GlucoDown® is enriched with a special form of soluble fiber which, clinical data indicates, can reduce the body's metabolism of dietary sugars and fats. In this way, GlucoDown® may help moderate after-meal increases in blood sugar, and lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, and additionally, contribute to gut and digestive health. Drink GlucoDown® before or with all meals, and instead of snacks.
All eight GlucoDown® drink mixes are surprisingly delicious, but formulated with no sugar (and no added sugar) and 100% natural flavors. In addition to being nutritionally suitable for diabetics, GlucoDown® drink mixes are suitable for carbohydrate restricted diets, such as keto.
Each serving of GlucoDown® has only 10 calories. GlucoDown® is also caffeine free (our tea mixes are decaffeinated) and gluten free.
The physiological impacts of the ingredients in GlucoDown® have been investigated in clinical studies published in scientific journals archived at the US National Library of Medicine website, curated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), or in research papers published by other credible sources of information, such as the American Diabetic Association and American Heart Association.

The clinical studies linked below are presented for information and may reference study participants diagnosed with diabetes. GlucoDown® is a nutritional beverage and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diabetes, or any other disease. These studies have not be evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration with respect to GlucoDown®.
Soluble Fiber
GlucoDown® is blended with a unique form of soluble fiber, which more than two decades of clinical data indicates, may help slow absorption of dietary sugars and fats; reduce post-prandial blood glucose levels (improving glycemic response); and help maintain digestive health.
