PGX Weight Loss Meal Replacement promotes healthy weight loss by reducing postprandial hyperglycemia, increasing satiety, and providing nutrients that support blood glucose metabolism. PGX (PolyGlycopleX) is a highly viscous combination of well-purified, water-soluble polysaccharides derived from konjac root, sodium alginate, and xantham gum, which has been shown to reduce postprandial glucose concentrations and total and LDL cholesterol, primarily by forming a gel matrix that slows gastric emptying. Postprandial hyperglycemia is a significant causative factor in endothelial dysfunction, several diabetic complications, and excess weight. By reducing the glycemic index of foods, viscous fiber prevents postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration and insulin production. They have also been found to increase satiety and reduce appetite, promoting lower calorie intake, leading to weight loss.
PGX is combined with whey protein and medium-chain triglycerides, which have been clinically shown to promote body fat loss while preserving lean muscle, and to induce satiety and reduced calorie consumption, respectively. A comprehensive complement of vitamins and minerals ensures support for healthy macronutrient metabolism.
