Healthy Living and Carbohydrate Quality

A balanced approach to everyday nutrition takes both energy intake, and carbohydrate quality into account. Carbohydrates are an important source of energy, yet they differ in how quickly glucose becomes available after eating.

Slowly digestible carbohydrates such as isomaltulose provide glucose more gradually than rapidly available carbohydrates, supporting a lower and more sustained postprandial blood glucose response. This makes carbohydrate quality relevant for everyday healthy eating, active lifestyles, and different stages of life.
