PGX® (PolyGlycopleX®), is a novel complex of naturally-occurring, water-soluble polysaccharides (dietary fibers). It was developed after many years of research, focusing on the link between blood sugar levels, appetite, and weight gain. PGX promotes healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range, reduces appetite, and supports healthy weight loss.
