Why Crystalline Fructose?
————————————————————————- Crystalline Fructose gives a sustained release of energy and does not result in a sugar crash. Most sweeteners, like sucrose, dextrose, glucose, and high fructose corn syrup, give a rapid release of energy that is quickly depleted, leaving an individual – especially one with a chronic disease and any athlete with low blood glycogen stores (insulin crash). Blood glucose levels are significantly more stable ingesting (crystalline) fructose. Tests have shown that a normal man’s blood glycogen levels are significantly higher up to four hours after consuming fructose as opposed to sucrose. The slow absorption of fructose from the stomach and intestines, but rapid assimilation in the liver, can result in the prevention of protein (muscle) breakdown. During strenuous exercise, gluconeogenesis occurs as the liver works to replenish the depleted glucose levels in the blood. When glucose and glycogen levels are depleted, p
