Features
As any person with blood sugar control problems knows, it is extremely important to eat regularly and not miss meals. Irregular eating can play havoc with blood sugar levels. Most experts recommend taking several small meals throughout the day to prevent blood sugar spikes. Ideal in theory but more difficult to put into practice, especially if you have a busy lifestyle.
The WellBetX Revolutionary Appetite & Blood Sugar Regulator Program with PGX is a meal replacement drink mix that contains a well-researched blend of nutrients that can balance blood sugar levels between meals. Each serving contains 22 grams of protein, from high quality whey protein, only 14 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of dietary fibre. For breakfast or lunch, this nutrient-packed mix provides 234 calories and a whole range of nutrients found in a well-balanced meal.
The PGX fibre blend is unique. It slows absorption of glucose and calories, while it creates a sense of fullness for appetite control with natural flavours (Chocolate and French Vanilla) and natural sweeteners.

Dosage
To make a deliciously satisfying drink, add 2 level scoops (61 g) of WellBetX mix to 350 mL – 500 mL of water and stir briskly, or mix in blender. For higher calories and a creamier texture, use skim milk instead of water. Drink immediately after mixing, as it thickens quickly. When first taking WellBetX begin with 1 scoop (30.5 g) in 175 mL - 350 mL of water and gradually increase to 2 scoops (61 g) as directed above. Keep out of the reach of children.
