Like Extend Nutrition products, most low-carb and sugar-free foods have few fast-converting (net) carbs. When you eat them, they won’t cause a big rise in your blood sugar. But that’s where the similarity ends.
Unfortunately, other low-carb and sugar-free foods don’t contain sufficient long-acting carbohydrates to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level throughout the day like Extend Nutrition products. So within an hour or so, your blood sugar drops, triggering a crash. And many low-carb products are also high in fat and cholesterol and contain trans-fats, so they are not particularly good for your heart.
The unique formula in Extend Nutrition products is patented for its ability to break down more gradually than other foods and release nutrients into your system more slowly. This slow conversion helps keep your blood sugar from rising too quickly, and continues to supply your body with the blood sugar fuel it needs for healthy long lasting energy and to keep your appetite under control for up to 6 hours.
