In modern life, we are becoming more and more cautious in our food choices. We care about our health and the ingredients in the food we put into our bodies. Therefore, as a food additive supplier, we are committed to providing you with healthy and safe choices. Today, we’d like to introduce you to a magical ingredient called Polydextrose (polydextrose), which is called “sugar” but is not actually sugar.



What is Polydextrose?


Polydextrose is a polysaccharide compound whose structure makes it look like sugar but is not chemically sugar. It is made from dextran (glucose) through a series of chemical reactions. Polydextrose is not absorbed by the human small intestine, so it has little impact on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetics and people pursuing a low-sugar diet.




Advantages of Polydextrose


Low Calories: Polydextrose is very low in calories, making it ideal for weight loss or weight management. Various studies show that Polydextrose helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad cholesterol." By inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol, it helps prevent arteriosclerosis and hypertension, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.



Prebiotics: Polydextrose is a prebiotic that promotes intestinal health, increases the growth of beneficial bacteria, and improves the balance of intestinal flora. This is very beneficial for relieving gastrointestinal discomfort and reducing problems such as bloating and constipation. Therefore, Polydextrose is not only a healthy food additive, but also a natural medicine that can improve the overall digestive system function.



Control blood sugar: Compared with sugar, Polydextrose has less impact on blood sugar levels and is suitable for diabetics.



Increase satiety: Polydextrose has good water solubility, which can increase the volume of food and bring better satiety.



Improved taste: It provides a sugar-like taste without worrying about additional sugar intake. This allows food manufacturers to offer healthier, lower-calorie products while maintaining good taste and flavor.
