GI Wise™
GI Wise™ is a newly discovered, naturally occurring group of compounds that have been found to significantly reduce and control blood sugar levels. Future products based on GI Wise™ could provide effective treatment to aid the management of Type II diabetes.
GI Wise™ overcomes one of the major health obstacles of our time: elevated and sustained blood sugar levels that potentially lead to diabetes mellitus in the long term.
GI Wise™ has the potential to be used in three product areas:
- Pharmaceutical
- Nutraceutical
- Complementary medicine or dietary supplement
Compounds used to make GI Wise™ are natural and are extracted from sugarcane plants.
Recent research conducted by the CRC SIIB identified the compounds during a seven year research effort to add value to the Australian sugarcane industry. For more information: www.crcsugar.com
When tested during trials among a generic group of consumers, GI Wise™ displayed a sustained effect on lowering blood sugar post-consumption of high starch, high GI food.
