The five amino acids and the chromium are so-called essentials. This means that they are necessary for your metabolism and that you need to get them through your food since the body cannot produce them by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen you drink GOOD IDEA before and with your meal, it will help your body take care of the carbohydrates in your food more efficiently. The amino acids will prime your body for the food that is coming. At the same time, the chromium increases your sensitivity to insulin*, meaning that less is needed to push the energy from your food into the cells. The result is balanced blood sugar through a lower and slower blood sugar rise after eating. This effect is clinically proven in independent studies with healthy people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Insulin is a hormone that transports energy, in the form of glucose, into the cells, where it is used as fuel.

These amino acids act like little worker bees for your body. When paired with a mineral called chromium picolinate, they work together for your metabolism which helps to reduce your blood sugar after meals and provide you more stable energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbonated Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main ingredient in GOOD IDEA is clear and simple.

Threonine is commonly found in cheeses, meats, fish, and poultry so individuals on vegan and vegetarian diets are susceptible to experiencing low levels of threonine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLysine is an essential amino acid, meaning that it needs to be consumed throughout the diet. Lysine is pivotal in the synthesis of collagen and cartilage. In addition, lysine plays a role in converting fatty acids into energy as well as helping to lower cholesterol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific combination of amino acids has been shown to have a glucose-reducing effect. Amino acids slow gastric emptying. This leads to a potential delay in glucose uptake and a ‘priming’ of the stomach that begins with the first sip of GOOD IDEA. In addition to impacting glucose, this amino acid combination has also been shown to have an insulin-simulating effect. This results in a reduction in the postprandial glucose spike. Overall, these amino acids work together to provide more effective energy from the food we eat.
