These plant-based snacks have been engineered to be digested slowly and provide sustained dextrose (glucose) release into the blood stream for up to five hours. An initial release of glucose within ninety minutes elevates low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia) is followed by slow and sustained glucose release over many hours (meal to meal for example or during sleep if consumed before bed).

These morish moderately-sweet bites are flour based (with a wholewheat option) and contain a range of nutrients including carbohydrates, plant lipids (fats), protein and fibre. They are packed individually and sold in boxes of nine - one for each day of the week and an extra one for each day of the weekend to provide energy for leisure pursuits and demanding activities. Each individual pack weighs 25 g providing ~130 Calories.

The development of DexSteady® has evolved over many years to create products that are delicious to eat whilst providing fuel for immediate needs and in a sustained fashion over many hours. The body requires glucose as the critical energy source. DexSteady® provides glucose.

Convenient to use within the home and when travelling. Can be eaten alone or during refreshment making them very versatile.

For the population generally glucose is critical in the diet. By managing the amount and source of glucose in the diet this aids health preventing excess calorie consumption. Sustained release glucose avoids peaks and troughs of glucose and associated insulin responses for better physical and mental health (cognition).

Hypoglycaemia (referred to commonly as low blood glucose) can affect all at different times when blood glucose is low. DexSteady® elevates blood glucose to move to a more healthy and normal blood glucose range which is important when glucose is being used up. This is evident especially during sport, glycogen storage disease, liver disease and insulin induced hypoglycaemia in diabetics. Meal to meal glucose control is important for weight management.

Our glucose bites come in two variants, wheat and wholewheat.
