HEALTH BENEFITS
Polydextrose has been tested by a number of independent researchers to validate its effectiveness and
to demonstrate its physiological health benefits. The following are some highlights on the health benefits of polydextrose:
• Is well-tolerated, even up to 90 g/day or 50 g as a single dose
• Supports healthy blood glucose levels by eliciting a lower blood glucose response
• May help promote regularity, as a result of its faecal bulking effect
• May support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria
• May support a healthy gut by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which feed the beneficial bacteria in the colon
• Is ideal for reduced-calorie foods and may assist with weight management by providing negligible calories (1 kcal/g
and a satiety benefit, as suggested by emerging data
