Pharmaluce Glicoper 30caps

Dietary supplement that reduces the postprandial glycemic response by inhibiting the enzymatic reaction of carbohydrate digestion. It is useful for reducing glucose levels in pre-diabetic conditions. It also contributes in cases of Diabetes Type 1 and 2, and in weight control. It can be combined with antidiabetic medication.

Component Actions

White mulberry leaf extract, thanks to the substance 1-deoxynosirimycin (DNJ), inhibits α-glucosidase. That is, the enzyme that is par excellence responsible for the intestinal transformation of starch and sugars into glucose.

In Glicoper we find the patented form of Reducose®, which contains 5% 1-DNJ, an amount about 5 times higher than other white mulberry extracts.

Taking Reducose® can lead to up to a 40% reduction in carbohydrate absorption. A fact that results in reduced postprandial and insulinemic peaks.

Recommended dose for daily consumption:

Adults: 1 capsule, 10 minutes before main meals, up to 3 times a day.

Warnings

Glicoper has an anti-hyperglycemic effect, but by itself it does not cause hypoglycemic attacks because it does not stimulate the release of insulin. Patients using insulin or insulin-secreting drugs may need to adjust their dosage in a similar manner as they would if they were eating low-carbohydrate and/or high-fiber meals, but will still be able to regulate their glucose blood (by taking glucose, dextrose, etc.), if this is necessary, as Glicoper® does not affect the intestinal transport of glucose.
