Instead of this
- no GI Allulose provides a similar texture and sweetness profile to glucose syrup without the massive glycemic impact (GI 0 vs 95).
Allulose - GL 1 per 100 g Erythritol is a practical, low-impact sugar alcohol that replaces the sweetness of glucose syrup with a negligible effect on blood sugar (GI 1 vs 95).
Erythritol - no GI Monk fruit extract is a potent, natural sweetener that eliminates the high glycemic load of glucose syrup entirely.
Monk fruit sweetener (pure extract) - no GI Stevia is a highly effective, zero-glycemic alternative that avoids the rapid blood sugar spike associated with glucose syrup.
