🌿 Smart Energy Starts with Smart Ingredients
At SpreadMyFuel, we believe that nutrition is a tool for performance. That’s why we carefully selected two low-glycemic sugar sources: agave inulin and coconut sugar.
But this decision isn’t just about “no refined sugar.” It’s rooted in nutritional synergy—and here’s why 👇
🧪 1. Agave Inulin: A Powerful Prebiotic… With Boundaries
Inulin is a soluble fiber extracted from agave, made of fructans (long chains of fructose units). It delivers powerful benefits:
âś… Near-zero glycemic index
âś… Prebiotic that feeds gut bacteria
âś… Supports satiety and nutrient absorption
However, it’s not perfect:
âť— In high doses or in sensitive individuals, it can ferment in the gut, causing gas, bloating, or discomfort
âť— Upon hydrolysis, free fructose may be released, potentially stressing the liver if consumed excessively
🥥 2. Coconut Sugar: Stable, Mineral-Rich Sweetness
Unlike refined sugars, coconut sugar contains sucrose (50% glucose, 50% fructose), antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
âś… Low glycemic index (~35)
âś… Steady energy release
âś… Beneficial for active metabolism
âś… Gentler on the digestive system
However, it lacks the prebiotic fiber and gut support that inulin brings to the table.
⚖️ 3. Why Combine Them?
The goal: leverage each ingredient’s strengths while minimizing their individual drawbacks.
| Agave Inulin | Coconut Sugar |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low GI | Low GI (~35) |
| Prebiotic fiber | Mineral-rich |
| Gut microbiota support | Antioxidants |
| Fermentation risk (if overused) | Digestive tolerance âś… |
When combined, they offer:
-
Better digestion
-
Both immediate (glucose) and sustained (fructose) energy
-
Greater satiety
-
Liver support without overload
🧬 4. Fructose: Friend or Foe for Athletes?
Fructose often gets a bad rap—but in moderation, especially in sport, it’s a performance ally:
👉 It’s metabolized by the liver, offering a separate glucose pathway
👉 It replenishes hepatic glycogen, essential for endurance
👉 It delays fatigue and aids recovery when paired with glucose
💡 The issue isn’t fructose—it’s isolated and excessive fructose. At SpreadMyFuel, we use a balanced ratio, enhanced by fiber, minerals, and smart formulation.
🚀 The Result: Balanced. Functional. Natural.
The combo of agave inulin + coconut sugar is our answer to the need for:
-
Stable energy
-
Sustained performance
-
Digestive comfort
-
Intelligent natural nutrition
At SpreadMyFuel, we don’t just pick ingredients. We build nutritional strategy. 💡
