Thanks to prevention programmes launched in many countries following the rise in “Western diseases” related to diet and lifestyle, we have all become aware that a varied and balanced diet is essential to preserve our health capital.

In keeping with this market trend, Nutritis offers a range of natural fruit sweeteners combining gustative pleasure and nutritional benefits thanks to a high sweetness intensity and a very low glycaemic index unequalled on the market.

Glycaemic index:
the key factor of a balanced diet.


Created in 1981, the Glycaemic Index (GI) measures the power of food to raise glycaemia over the next two hours following ingestion to a reference standard which is pure glucose in Europe (GI=100). GI enables the classification and comparison of food previously called “simple sugars” or “complex sugars”.

There are three main categories:





Nutritis fruit sweeteners: scientifically-proven nutritional benefits


Clinical studies carried out by an independent laboratory on the FructiLight® range demonstrated it has:

- The lowest glycaemic index of all caloric sugars on the market (GI=9),
- A very slow body assimilation (+30 min compared with fructose and +60 min compared with glucose),
- A glycaemia peak fourfold lower than the glucose effect,
- A positive impact on glycaemia regulation and insulin secretion.

Banking on low GI food: a winning strategy


The concept of “low GI”, widely reflected in the media and particularly in English-speaking countries, is not a fashion phenomenon; on the contrary, it is based on interesting physiological properties:

- Regulation of glycaemia and insulin secretion, all the more reduced when GI is low.
- Very low assimilation and release of energy
- Fat storage limitation, increase in satiety, weight loss help

Thus, a low GI diet is recommended to prevent:
- hypoglycaemia which causes low-sugar slumps and food cravings
- obesity, diabetes (types 1 and 2) and cardiovascular diseases

« The results from FructiLight clinical studies demonstrated that the fruit origin is not only a marketing pitch: natural molecules extracted from fruits with Nutritis process have a real beneficial effect on glycaemia control and prevention of some related diseases. The discovery supports “naturalness” claims and “fruit highlight” notes on food products.

These combined assertions make the difference on strategic markets such as Diet, Sports and Health Nutritional Products ».
