PGX Granules
Brand: Natural Factors SlimStyles
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active ingredient, PGX (PolyGlycopleX), is a proprietary soluble fiber complex. At the cellular level, PGX works by significantly increasing viscosity in the digestive tract. This creates a gel-like matrix that slows gastric emptying and physically obstructs enzyme access to carbohydrates. By reducing the rate of glucose absorption, PGX helps stabilize blood sugar levels and blunt insulin spikes. This mechanism promotes satiety signals to the brain, effectively curbing appetite and reducing overall caloric intake.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy weight management by promoting satiety
- Helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce insulin resistance
- May lower LDL cholesterol and support heart health
- Aids in digestive regularity and gut health
Usage & Safety
Mix 1 serving (5 grams) of granules into 8-12 oz of water or juice, or sprinkle on food. For best results, take PGX before meals to suppress appetite. Start with a smaller dose and gradually increase to minimize minor digestive changes. Important Safety: Take medication one hour prior or two hours after consuming PGX to avoid absorption interference. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or under 18.
