Carbogen Increases Glucose Absorption

A collection of pre‐clinical animal studies published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in October confirms that adding Triarco’s patented Carbogen enzyme system to a meal replacement bar increased the rate of glucose absorption. Increased blood glucose levels were maintained over a period of five hours. The finding could be significant for athletes and other consumers who look to carbohydrate products for a healthy boost, and for manufacturers who want to enhance their current energy or fiber formula.

In the current study, 1 mg of Carbogen was given for each gram of complex carbohydrate in male Sprague‐Dawley rats. The control group was given the same foods without Carbogen. A range of foods commonly consumed to increase physical activity were used, including soy nuts, pasta, meal replacement bars, nutrition shakes and a carbohydrate sports supplement. Each was chosen to represent a low, moderate or high glycemic index (GI) food.

The study found that Carbogen significantly increased glucose absorption and maintained increases over five hours when added to a meal replacement bar and soy nuts. These foods were characterized by both a low or moderate GI classifications and a high‐fiber content. When Carbogen was added, the soy nut substrate showed an average increase in blood glucose levels of 67%, and the meal replacement bar showed an average increase of 261%. Such maintained increases can provide consumers with a steady source of accessible, longer‐lasting energy from low/moderate GI and high‐fiber energy formulas.
