A very important effect of the excellent nutritional balance in all NGC Products, are their ability to balance blood sugar and insulin response (Low GI*). Providing a slow and long lasting blood sugar release you will experience immediate effects of long lasting energy, focus and well-being and also less stress and cravings for excess calories (i.e. cookies and sweets).

*) Glycemic Index (GI) is a valuable tool to measure the types of carbohydrates and the way they affect the blood sugar levels.

--- When eating high GI food: your blood sugar levels will spike quickly. This is soon followed by a crash and feeling of low energy. 

Regardless if you take a powder shake mixed with water (lowest achievable GI value), a food drink or a bar, a soup or a bakery product including the NGC formula - you will feel the positive difference. Combining NGC Products with your daily diet will also provide an important "second meal effect", thus helping you balancing blood sugar release over the day. A balanced blood sugar will keep you energized and also avoid generating high insulin peaks. Insulin, generally connected to diabetes, is a hormone acting like a "blood sugar police" blocking high blood sugar increase by transforming this into fat for later release. Too high insulin levels may ultimately cause a lot of metabolic syndromes (well-fare illnesses) like obesity, high blood pressure etc.

DIAGRAM

The GI (glycemic index) divides foods into different categories according to their effect on your blood sugar levels after consumption. The diagram illustrates the high impact sugar (glucose) has on blood sugar (grey curve, GI=100) compared with the low and stable effect that an InZone meal has (green curve, GI from InZone <20)
