• Any one in good health
• The diabetics
• Those who are keen on controlling blood sugar level
• Those who are high blood glucose level

How does GEN-DM help control the diabetes?

• Fructose is used as a component. This sugar uses a tiny amount of insulin to transport sugar into cells and accelerate the conversion of glucose to glycogen stored in the liver, allowing blood sugar levels to stay stable.
• Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of soluble dietary fiber that helps slow the absorption of blood sugar after meals so that blood sugar levels rise gradually. As a result, the blood sugar level does not rise too quickly and stay in the bloodstream for a longer period of time, making you feel full longer.

For the diabetics with hyperlipidemia and weight control. How can they drink GEN-DM drink?

• For the most effective cases, it is recommended to drink 1 glass of GEN-DM as a meal replacement. It helps control blood sugar levels, reduce fat levels, and body weight control.
• If GEN-DM can't be taken as a meal replacement, it is recommended to drink one glass of GEN-DM 15-20 minutes before a typical meal and then reduce the amount of rice, flour, and fruit in half.
