NutraIngredients-Asia Awards 2020
Healthy Ageing Ingredient of the Year: Reducose
Reducose® is a water extract of white mulberry leaves. It can be added in small quantities to foods and drinks or taken as a supplement and reduces the impact of sugars and high-glycaemic carbohydrates on the body. It does this by reducing the breakdown of sugars and carbohydrates, resulting in 40% lower blood sugar levels after eating.
Maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is important for healthy ageing, including better metabolic health, cardiovascular health, cognitive functioning, and improved body composition.
The judges highlighted strong evidence of the ingredient’s impact on postprandial glucose as well as its commercial success and potential.
