You can add any fresh or frozen low-glycemic fruit to your French Vanilla or Chocolate GlycoSlim® drink. Make a smoothie by adding your favorite fruit to the GlycoSlim® drink in the blender. The only fruits that are not low-glycemic are watermelon (the only high-glycemic fruit currently indexed), bananas, apricots, mangos, papayas, paw paws, pineapples, cantaloupes, raisins and sultanas. These are all rated as moderately-glycemic and are acceptable in limited amounts when you are on a weight maintenance diet.

What changes have been made to the GlycoSlim drink mix?

• Our previous fiber source, inulin, has been replaced by maltodextrin, an alternate fiber source, and the amount of fiber was increased from two grams to five grams per serving as a product improvement.
• Secondary changes include:
o Fructooligosaccharide, a source of fiber and sweetness, was removed
o Stevia, an all-natural sweetener, was added

Why was this change made?

Inulin is an insoluble fiber, and because it is not easily broken down in the body, it can cause some undesirable gastrointestinal (GI) effects, such as gas and bloating. Maltodextrin is a soluble fiber and easily digestible so GI effects should be minimized.

Was anything wrong with the previous formula?

No, the previous formulation met the same high standards that all Mannatech products are held to. This is simply a product improvement.

Have these changes affected the product in any other ways?

The amount of fiber was increased from two grams to five grams as a product improvement. Additional fiber can provide a feeling of fullness, which aids in appetite suppression.*

Has this change affected the taste or consistency of the product?

No, there are no noticeable changes in taste or consistency.

Does the reformulation affect both flavors?

Yes, the formula was changed for both the chocolate and French vanilla flavors.

If the change was made due to GI distress, won’t more fiber cause more distress?

No, the GI distress reported with the previous formula was due to the type of fiber, not the amount. Additional fiber content aids in the feeling of fullness.
