In this special episode of The Metabolic Link, we’re sharing an exclusive panel discussion from Metabolic Health Summit 2024, where leading experts dive into the science and real-world applications of allulose, a natural low-calorie sweetener with potential metabolic health benefits.

Featuring insights from Dr. Richard Johnson, Dr. Jeff Volek, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Andrew Koutnik, and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, this conversation explores how allulose influences glucose levels, insulin sensitivity, weight management, and GLP-1 stimulation for satiety and glucose control. The panel also addresses questions about safety, its role as a sugar substitute, and its potential impact on broader metabolic pathways.

Please note that this roundtable discussion was hosted by RxSugar. The panelists included are part of the scientific advisory board to RxSugar, in addition to serving in their unaffiliated academic roles.
