For anyone who monitors blood sugar or uses GLP-1 medications, the idea of mixing any glucose with a sweetener can feel counterintuitive. After all, glucose (also called dextrose) is the very molecule that raises blood sugar. So why would a blend of Allulose + Glucose—known as Supercrose®—actually stabilize metabolism instead of spiking it?

The answer lies in physiology, balance, and smart formulation.

The Problem with Pure Sugar

Traditional sugar (sucrose) is 50% glucose and 50% fructose.

• Together, Fructose and Glucose create rapid energy followed by a crash—training the brain to crave more sugar.
• Fructose, drives liver fat production and insulin resistance over time.
  
• Glucose with Fructose spikes blood sugar quickly, forcing the pancreas to release insulin.

Over time, this cycle contributes to insulin resistance, appetite dysregulation, and metabolic stress.

Enter Allulose: The Rare Sugar That Behaves Differently

Allulose is a rare monosaccharide found naturally in figs, maple syrup, and corn. Despite tasting like sugar, it contributes virtually zero calories and is not metabolized like glucose or fructose.

Key findings from published research include:

• Allulose has no significant effect on blood glucose or insulin levels after ingestion (Iida et al., 2008; Hayashi et al., 2010).
  
• Allulose suppresses postprandial glucose excursions when consumed with carbohydrate meals (Hayashi et al., 2010).
  
• Studies also show Allulose enhances GLP-1 secretion—a gut hormone that promotes satiety and slows gastric emptying (Han et al., 2020).

Translation: Allulose helps blunt the glucose curve, extend fullness, and improve insulin sensitivity—naturally.

Why Add Glucose?

Glucose (as dextrose) isn’t the villain—it’s the body’s preferred energy source. The key is how much and what it’s paired with.

Glucose isn’t just “sugar.” It’s the body’s primary energy currency—the preferred fuel for the brain, red blood cells, and muscles. Every thought, movement, and heartbeat depends on it. The problem isn’t glucose itself—it’s excess glucose, delivered without balance or control.

In carefully designed systems like Supercrose®, a modest amount of glucose performs essential metabolic functions:

• Immediate, Efficient Energy
  Glucose is absorbed rapidly and converted directly into ATP—the molecule your cells use for energy. This quick conversion provides a clean, predictable energy source that supports alertness, coordination, and endurance.
• Cognitive Stability
  The brain alone consumes nearly half of the body’s daily glucose supply. Low or inconsistent glucose levels can cause fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. A controlled dose of glucose helps maintain mental clarity without overstimulation.
• Metabolic Signal for Balance
  Glucose acts as the body’s “on switch” for metabolism. A small glucose presence triggers gentle insulin signaling, allowing nutrients to be efficiently transported into cells and energy to be properly stored and released. This mild, steady signal helps prevent the fatigue or light-headedness often caused by zero-calorie substitutes.
• Performance and Recovery Support
  For active individuals, glucose replenishes muscle glycogen—the stored energy that powers performance and recovery. Even small amounts can accelerate muscle refueling and reduce post-exercise fatigue.

In short, adding glucose brings function back to sweetness—delivering real, usable energy without overloading the system. It’s the difference between powering your metabolism and overwhelming it.

Supercrose® uses a precise ratio of Allulose to Glucose that provides the real sweetness and browning power of sugar—but with a fraction of the glycemic load.

The Supercrose® Advantage: A Balanced Metabolic Response

Controlled continuous glucose monitor (CGM) testing and DRUID data show:

• No measurable blood sugar spikes after consuming Supercrose®.
  
• Stable insulin response compared to sucrose.
  
• Improved satiety and focus, linked to sustained GLP-1 activity and reduced cravings.

In other words, the Allulose–Glucose combination creates a metabolic “cushion”—the small glucose dose ensures steady energy, while Allulose counterbalances absorption and promotes hormonal balance.

Supercrose® isn’t about “zero sugar.” It’s about metabolic precision—a smarter sweetness system that mimics sugar’s performance while promoting blood-sugar stability, satiety, and energy control.

Because real health shouldn’t mean sacrificing real taste.
