DID YOU KNOW that two new studies laud the benefits of organic, grass-fed whey protein powder?

One study from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined serving whey protein before a meal in order to lower blood glucose levels. This is known as a "premeal". Researchers found whey protein premeals lowered post-meal blood glucose, reduced gastric emptying rate, increased peak insulin, and elevated plasma concentrations of GLP-1 (which is what Ozempic's function is).

Another study from Current Developments in Nutrition found evidence that whey protein supplementation may improve multiple clinical indicators of glucose control, along with triglycerides and blood pressure, in groups of adults at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Not only does having protein or healthy fat with carbohydrates slow down the absorption of glucose, it also brings on satiety faster.
