PGX (PolyGlycopleX) is a highly viscous combination of water soluble polysaccharides derived from konjac root, sodium alginate, and xantham gum. Viscous fibers have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose concentrations and lower total and LDL cholesterol, primarily by forming a gel matrix which slows gastric emptying. Viscous fibers also trap ingested carbohydrates and lipids inside the gel matrix, decreasing the transport as well as the uptake of glucose and cholesterol at absorptive surfaces. Clinical trials have shown that in addition to the benefits of glucose and lipid reduction, highly viscous fibers were found to lower insulin secretion and C-peptide in response to carbohydrate meals, and to lower serum fructosamine, a marker of glycemic control. Viscous fibers effectively reduce the glycemic index of foods consumed simultaneously, by preventing the postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration. Fiber viscosity has also been associated with increased satiety and reduced appetite, allowing for reduced caloric intake and weight loss. PGX‘s viscosity is greater than other known sources of soluble fiber, allowing for easier dosing and greater efficacy for its diverse benefits.
Suggested Use: Start with 1–2 softgels per meal and slowly build up to the recommended dose of 3–6 softgels per meal. For best results take PGX Daily Ultra Matrix Softgels before meals with a glass (8 fl. oz.) of water, or as directed by a health care professional.
Indications: Use PGX Daily Ultra Matrix Softgels as part of your diet to support healthy glucose and cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. PGX helps to lower the glycemic index of your meals, contributing to healthy glucose metabolism.
Contraindications: A small percentage of people may initially experience minor digestive changes when taking PGX Daily Ultra Matrix Softgels. Slowly work up to the full dose to give your body time to adjust. It is important to drink a glass of water when taking PGX Daily. Those with a known allergy to the fibers in PGX should avoid it. Individuals at risk for intestinal obstruction, such as those with systemic sclerosis, should increase fiber intake with caution.
