 Frequently Asked Questions 
Question: What is SUGARDOWN? Answer: SUGARDOWN is a chewable dietary supplement designed to support healthy blood glucose levels and is shown in a clinical study to reduce the post-meal sugar spike associated with eating high glycemic index carbohydrate foods. Question: Are mannan polysaccharides safe for human consumption? Answer: Yes. Mannans have been used for many years in the food industry and are deemed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S Food and Drug Administration. Question: How does SUGARDOWN work? Answer: When taken before consuming carbohydrates, SUGARDOWN works in the gastrointestinal tract, blocking the enzymes that degrade carbohydrates into simple sugars. This action reduces the amount of glucose available for absorption into the blood through the intestine, supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Question: How can SUGARDOWN benefit me? Answer: In the United States alone, 25 million people have diabetes and 79 million people are prediabetic, according to the American Diabetes Association. Eating high glycemic index (GI) foods can help set the stage for the development of obesity and diabetes for many people. High GI foods are those that break down quickly into glucose creating a quick and unhealthy spike in blood sugar. Some examples of high GI foods are bread, potatoes, processed grain flours, soda and drinks containing high fructose corn syrup. SUGARDOWN can reduce the after meal sugar spike created by high glycemic foods and other carbohydrates. SUGARDOWN can also encourage a sense of satiety or fullness before a meal, helping with portion control and supports good intestinal health and regularity. Question: How should I take SUGARDOWN? Answer: SUGARDOWN should be chewed thoroughly until dissolved and then swallowed prior to each meal, drink or snack that contains carbohydrates. It can be taken immediately and up to 30 minutes before consumption. Question: Will SUGARDOWN reduce my blood glucose level? Answer: SUGARDOWN’s main function is to moderate the after-meal increase in blood sugar that comes from eating carbohydrate foods and drinks. SUGARDOWN is not intended to reduce the amount of glucose already present in the blood and there is no evidence to support that SUGARDOWN by itself reduces the amount of glucose already present in the blood. Question: Can SUGARDOWN help me lose weight? Answer: Although SUGARDOWN reduces the impact of high glycemic foods, no clinical trials have been conducted to validate SUGARDOWN as a weight loss product. However, since SUGARDOWN reduces the amount of sugar available for absorption, it can support weight management. In addition, SUGARDOWN induces satiety, or a feeling of fullness, which helps you maintain a healthy diet plan. Question: Can I take SUGARDOWN while taking insulin or other anti-diabetic drugs?
