PGX^® (PolyGlycopleX^®) is a highly-viscous combination of water-soluble polysaccharides derived from konjac root, sodium alginate, and xantham gum. Viscous fibres 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 fibres 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 fibres 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 fibres effectively reduce the glycemic index of foods consumed simultaneously, by preventing the postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration.

Fibre 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 fibre, allowing for easier dosing and greater efficacy for its diverse benefits.

Serving Size: 6 softgels

Non-medicinal Ingredients: Softgel (gelatin, glycerin, purified water, annatto, carob, titanium dioxide), yellow beeswax, soy lecithin.

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 softgels before meals with a glass of water (250 mL) or as directed by a health care professional.  

Notice: A small percentage of people may initially experience minor temporary digestive changes as the body adjusts to the addition of PGX^®, usually in a few days. To help ease fibre digestion, slowly work up to the full dose. It is important to drink adequate amounts of water immediately after ingesting PGX^®.

Consult a health care professional prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have any health concerns. Those with a known allergy to the fibres in PGX should avoid it. Individuals at risk for intestinal obstruction, such as those with systemic sclerosis, should increase fibre intake with caution. Keep out of reach of children.

Drug Interactions: A reduction in serum glucose concentrations by PGX may require a lowering of the dosage of any antidiabetic medications, and serum glucose should be monitored closely to prevent hypoglycemia. Oral medications may need to be taken one hour prior or two hours after PGX, to prevent a slowing down in their absorption. Similarly, fat-soluble vitamins should be taken separately.

Contains no artificial preservatives, colours or sweeteners and no dairy, wheat or yeast.
