How Sunfiber can help manage blood sugar levels in diabetes patients

Sunfiber® is a clear water-soluble dietary bean FSSAI approved prebiotic fiber (partially hydrolyzed Guar Gum, PHGG). An all natural galactomannan soluble fiber that is tasteless, colorless and odourless. Sunfiber® delivers high fiber content and excellent pH, heat and freeze/thaw stability. Clinically proven to lower glycemic index, improve mineral absorption, promote digestive health (Constipation, Diarrhea, and IBS), and reduce blood sugar levels. Sunfiber also has FSSAI Health Claim where “consumption of PHGG (Sunfiber) may help in reduce the blood sugar spikes/levels as add on to the diabetic management regimen.”

BEFORE AND AFTER EFFECTS OF USING SUNFIBER

These are the before and after effects of Sunfiber (PHGG) when consumed by various consumers

This shows that Sunfiber can not only reduce blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol, reduce waist circumference, reduce HbA1c levels but also increase satiety levels. This prove that Sunfiber is very optimum for the consumers who are suffering from the diabetes.

CLINICAL STUDIES OF SUNFIBER

No.	Subjects	N (W/M)	Dosage (gm/day)	Duration of the study	HbA1c Levels	Blood sugar / GI	Remarks
1	High Postprandial blood glucose	70 (M+W)	4 gms/day	One Meal	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Intake of PHGG suppressed the postprandial blood glucose levels after 30 min and 60min
2	Slightly Higher Fat Women	15 (W)	15 gms/day	2 Weeks	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Serum Cholesterol and fasting blood glucose were decreased
3	Type 2 Diabetes	44	10 gms/day	4 Weeks	Decreased	Not evaluated	Waist circumference and Hemoglobin A1c decreased
4	Healthy	6	5 gms/day	One Meal	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Plasma glucose levels decreased after 60 mins and 180 min
5	Healthy	11 (W+M)	300g rice with 2.5gm	One Meal	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Glucose levels and insulin levels decreased
6	Non-Insulin dependent diabetes	6	20 gms/day	One Meal	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Glucose Levels and Insulin levels decreased
7	Type 2 Diabetes	14 (W+M)	10gms * 3/day	3 Months	Decreased	Not Evaluated	Improvement of Bowel Movement, Better appetite
8	Persistent diarrhoea	20	2% Soluble	4 days	Not Evaluated	Suppressed	Plasma glucose and cholestrol levels decreased everyday
9	Healthy	13	6gms * 3/day	12 Months	Decreased	Suppressed	Plasma glucose, WC, HbA1c,IRI, TG, and cholesterols levels decreased after one hour

With dosage of 4gms-15gms of Sunfiber per day, postprandial blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels decreased considerably. Thus, Sunfiber is the most optimum for consumers who are suffering from high blood sugar levels and high HbA1c levels. It can also be used in various application such as dietary supplement, FSMP, food, beverages, RTD and more.
