Properties and functions of Raw Fructose
Energy.
Fructose supports the recovery process after physical activity has ended.
Glycemic index:
It is a type of carbohydrate classified as having a low glycemic index. This index refers to the speed at which it is digested and transported in the blood as glucose: fructose carries out these processes more slowly than other carbohydrates.
The insulin spike:
Unlike other types of carbohydrates that require a large insulin spike to be used, fructose, on the other hand, generates a much smaller spike. Fructose is absorbed in the small intestine through the GLUT-4 transporter, which does not depend on insulin. It provides better diabetes control.
Digestion and absorption:
Because its assimilation is slower and more progressive, it does not cause digestive discomfort. In addition, it promotes increased satiety.
