What is the breakdown of total carbohydrates in BioTrust Low Carb?Updated 23 days ago

The FDA requires that the following are listed (if they are included):

  • Total carbohydrates

  • Fiber (non-digestible carbohydrates)

  • Sugar (mono- and disaccharides like glucose, fructose, lactose, and sucrose)

Each two-scoop serving of BioTrust Low Carb contains 8 grams of total carbohydrate, and 4 grams of quot;net carbs,quot; which are calculated by subtracting the amount of fiber from total carbs. Net carbs are calculated because dietary fiber does not elevate blood sugar levels (it actually helps lower/regulate blood sugar) or insulin levels.nbsp;

Besides the 4 grams of fiber (from inulin, xanthan gum, gum arabic, and guar gum), BioTrust Low Carb contains 1 gram of naturally-occurring sugarnbsp;(e.g., from milk proteins)nbsp;per serving. The remaining 3 grams of carbohydrates are considered quot;other carbohydrates,quot; which may more commonly be recognized as quot;complex carbohydrates,quot; or more appropriately, non-fiber polysaccharides. Starches in foods like sweet potatoes, rice, oats, etc., are quot;other carbohydrates.quot;nbsp;
