Why Choose Metagenics Ultra Glucose Control?

Formulated with MetaRelease—a propietary blend of slow-release, carbohydrates known as UCAN SuperStarch® and IMO fiber as well as plant proteins and branched-chain amino acids, Ultra Glucose Control supports a balanced glucose response and sustained energy release. It is intended for use with the support of your healthcare practitioner and in concert with healthy lifestyle choices, including a healthy eating plan and regular exercise.

Each serving contains:

  • 15 grams of a pea/rice protein blend enhanced with branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine).
  • 1 gram of L-arginine to support carbohydrate metabolism.
  • 22 essential vitamins and minerals—including vitamin D3, chromium, biotin, and magnesium—to support overall health.
  • Monounsaturated fats to support healthy blood lipid levels.

Glucose Levels and the Brain

Studies indicate that healthy blood glucose levels may play a significant role in supporting brain health. Results of some studies seem to suggest that hippocampus size tends to be larger in people with lower blood sugar levels in comparison to the those with higher sugar levels. One study indicates that blood glucose levels within a standard range support aspects of brain health associated with memory functionality.1
