Who Is Isomaltulose Suitable for?

Isomaltulose, also known as palatinose, isomerized sucrose and lylose, is a new natural functional sugar. In recent years, isomaltulose has been widely used around the world. In addition to its low hygroscopicity, high stability, high tolerance, low calories, and pure sweetness, its main advantage is that it does not cause the borborygmus and diarrhea as other low GI sugars.

Isomaltulose is an ideal energy supply and sweetening substance

Isomaltulose is a disaccharide carbohydrate; isomaltulose is derived from sucrose extracted from sugar cane or beet, and is a sweet energy substance obtained through enzymatic isomerization. Isomaltulose will not be digested by saliva, gastric acid and pancreas. It will be slowly hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose by complex catalysis in the small intestine, which can continuously provide energy for 6 hours.

Compared with sucrose, isomaltulose is a low GI sugar and has a good slowing and controlling effect on blood sugar. The glycemic response to isomaltulose is characterized by a slow, low, and sustained increase in blood glucose levels and a correspondingly low insulin requirement. After being digested and absorbed, isomaltulose will not cause strong secretion of insulin, but will relatively reduce the absorption of fat tissue. In addition, the presence of isomaltulose also stabilizes blood sugar at a relatively low level for a long time, thereby promoting the mobilization and oxidative decomposition of fat in the body.

Isomaltulose can maintain the concentration of glucose and insulin during exercise, avoid hypoglycemia during exercise, and provide athletes with energy supplements for long-term exercise.

Isomaltulose keeps people focused. After ingesting isomaltulose, the blood sugar level and insulin concentration are increased by 10%-20% compared with fasting, and this state can be maintained for a long time. In this way, a certain concentration of energy source can be provided to the brain for a long time, keeping the brain healthy. It has abundant energy and stabilizes the body's functions and mental state.

Who is isomaltulose suitable for?

1. Suitable for diabetic patients.

The cumulative increase in blood sugar levels in the body after ingesting isomaltulose is much lower than that of sugar, and the changes in blood insulin and blood sugar levels are balanced, indicating that isomaltulose is absorbed much slower than sucrose, so it can be consumed by diabetic patients.

2. Non-cariogenic, especially suitable for children.

Isomaltulose cannot be used by microorganisms that cause tooth decay in the mouth and does not form dental plaque. So cavities won’t be formed. Therefore, isomaltulose not only does not cause tooth decay itself, but also inhibits tooth decay caused by sucrose.

3. Suitable for people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obesity and those who are afraid of obesity.

Low in calories, isomaltulose can be digested and absorbed like sucrose. Its caloric value is about 4Kacl/g. It is more suitable for people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obesity and people who are afraid of obesity.

4. Suitable for athletes.

Slow hydrolysis and absorption speed, more suitable for athletes. In order to maintain endurance and reduce fatigue, athletes need to supplement long-term energy. After isomaltulose enters the human body, it can be hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose in the small intestine by the carbohydrase-isomaltase complex, and is then digested and absorbed. Since its hydrolysis rate is one-fifth that of sucrose, it can be inferred that isomaltulose is absorbed much more slowly than sucrose. In addition, isomaltulose can be completely digested and absorbed and converted into energy, so it is particularly suitable for providing energy for long-term sports.

5. Increases gut probiotics, suitable for the general public.

Isomaltulose is an excellent bifidobacterial proliferation factor. Although isomaltulose cannot be used by the enzyme system of the human body and most microorganisms, it can be decomposed and utilized by bifidobacteria in the human intestine, promoting the growth and reproduction of Bifidobacterium, maintaining the microecological balance of the intestines and beneficial to human health. So isomaltulose is also suitable for the general public.
