Our Roots
At Extend Nutrition, we're all about Clinically Proven Glycemic Control - managing blood glucose - your fuel. Glycemic Control (controlling blood sugar) is great for everyone. Glycemic control means healthy long lasting energy for athletes, weekend warriors, urban warriors, for anyone who wants to live a vibrant, healthy and active life. Glycemic control is also key to hunger control and reduces your unhealthy cravings and binges.
Once you try our products, and experience what our healthy long lasting energy can do for you, you will know that these protein energy bars and shake mixes did not happen by chance. Originally developed by Dr. Francine Kaufman, M.D. (a world-renowned endocrinologist and metabolism expert), the Extend Nutrition formula is a patented combination of proteins, fats and complex carbohydrates that help control blood sugar for 6+ hours, a feat unparalleled by competing products.
