ProteinFusion Bar Cookies & Cream 26.64 oz (756 Grams) - CASE OF 12 BARS (F)

Your body needs glucose, or blood sugar, for energy. When you consume carbohydrates, your body digests them and turns them into glucose before releasing the glucose into your bloodstream for fuel. The rate at which carbs are digested determines how quickly your blood sugar levels rise. Not all carbohydrates have the same effect on your glucose levels: simple sugars (like those found in cake, candy, and other sugary foods) are easily digested and released into your blood stream; this causes a sharp rise in your glucose levels. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates that have a lot of fiber (like those found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) are digested slowly and cause a more gradual rise in your blood sugar levels.

Studies have shown that eating diets high in simple carbohydrates can cause health problems. You can prevent sharp rises in your glucose levels by eating high-fiber foods that are digested more slowly. Sadly, simple carbohydrates are often the most convenient.

You can also help by adding protein to your meals. Studies have shown that protein slows the absorption of carbs into your blood stream. An easy way to add protein into your diet is with a protein bar like Metagenics’ ProteinFusion.

The ProteinFusion Bar by Metagenics combines low carbohydrate levels with high fiber and protein content to support healthy blood sugar levels and stave off hunger. They also contain a wide variety of vitamins and minerals that improve your overall health. The Cookies & Cream flavor is a sweet, tasty way to boost your intake of nutrients such as the following:

• A protein blend of 20 percent protein from soy, whey, and calcium—helps slow the absorption of carbs into your bloodstream, avoiding an energy crash
• Fiber—works with protein to slowthe absorption of carbohydrates and maintain cardiovascular health
• Vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, and calcium—to improve your overall health and strengthens your immune system.

For a healthy, filling snack or meal substitute, eat two ProteinFusion bars daily, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.
