What is the glycemic index and what is Designer Whey’s glycemic index?Updated a year ago

The glycemic index refers to how a food, usually a carbohydrate, affects your body’s blood sugar (glucose). Proteins and fats, by nature, have little effect on the blood sugar response. Research shows that protein-only meals produce either a small rise in or have no effect on blood glucose.


Based on existing research, Designer Whey falls between ten and 30 on the glycemic index. The precise glucose response will vary from person to person depending upon factors like body composition, fitness level, as well as other foods that are consumed.
