- Studies show that, when taken with a meal, Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, may attenuate the rise in serum glucose following the meal. Fibersol®-2 has the potential to reduce peak postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels that are within the normal range in healthy individuals.
