How does ReduQur® work?
Simple answer
For carbohydrates to benefit humans, they must be digested into monosaccharides, requiring digestive enzymes to break down starches and sugars for absorption into the bloodstream. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. (Holesh et al., 2023, Lebovitz, 1997)
ReduQur® blocks α-glucosidases
Examples of digestive enzymes are alpha-amylases [α-amylases] (salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase), and alpha-glucosidases [α-glucosidases] (sucrase/isomaltase and maltase/glucoamylase). Alpha-glucosidase works at the brush border lining of your small intestine to break down carbohydrates, also called oligosaccharides (polysaccharides and disaccharides), into glucose (see image above). (Holesh et al., 2023, Lebovitz, 1997)
