All foods that are consumed break down to sugars for cellular metabolism which create the body’s energy that lets us walk (fast), breathe (deep), think (clear), and exercise (hard and efficiently). Even stored fats and proteins are converted to sugars when the body needs extra energy. Our human machinery is designed for a profile of foods like CardioPro Bars that provide sugars, proteins, and fats in a manner that release the sugars in a timeframe slower than soda pop and refined sweeteners. Because many of the foods we eat have refined sugars, placed in formats that release them quickly, we end up with a rapid rise in blood sugar. This results in the insulin response used to normalize blood sugar. If we drink an orange soda, our body thinks we just ate an orange tree and responds accordingly. It is the rapid rise in blood sugar that causes the negative effects.

We developed CardioPro Bars to address the cholesterol issue. A clinical study performed at the U of KY Medical School proved the bars lowered cholesterol on par with prescription medication in over 55% of the subjects. Also studied was blood sugar, and we found in subjects consuming as many as 2 bars per day no change in their blood sugar levels on days tested and overall. These facts combined with the glycemic index (speed of sugar release) of the bar’s ingredients show positive effects of consuming CardioPro bars for keeping normal blood sugar, something artificial sweeteners cannot accomplish when energy is needed.

Given the nature of CardioPro Bars complex carbs and the protein/fiber matrix these carbs are imbedded, this qualifies as a low glycemic index product based on clinical findings. It is satisfying, provides a healthy source of energy, is protein sparing, and lowers overall cholesterol, specifically bad LDL. Knowing you, our consumer want the best possible food for health, we developed CardioPro Bars to provide slow carbs for these reasons; they are satisfying, normalize cholesterol, and provide sustained energy for hours. We created a product with the emphasis that slow released carbs are better for you and healthier for prolonged energy, a balanced approach, more beneficial than artificially sweetened products. Enjoy CardioPro!
