Taste the success. Shakeology® is officially certified on the low end of what's already considered "low" on the Glycemic Index (GI). That's a whole lotta low to love!
If you're not familiar with the GI, it's basically a scale of 1 to 100 that measures how much or how quickly a particular food causes your blood sugar to rise. The higher the number, the higher the blood sugar "spike," and ultimately, the worse the crash. Type 2 diabetes can be a product of too many high-GI foods. So as you can see, this is serious business.
Anything lower than a 55 is considered low GI. Shakeology rang up a score of 24. That's lower than most fruits and veggies, thanks in part to the fact that Shakeology uses naturally-occurring sugar rather than that high fructose corn syrup stuff made from genetically-modified corn.
To make things easy to understand AND share, we put together a one-sheet that explains the GI, lists all the important facts, and shows how Shakeology measures up against other foods.
View, print, and share the GI one-sheet
Of course, the science behind this major victory is much more complicated—so we left the full explanation to our expert Steve Edwards. He wrote an excellent article about GI and how to communicate this news to your customers and prospects.
