A new randomised controlled trial, conducted by Gaylor et al, demonstrates that BENEO’s slow and sustained release carbohydrate Palatinose™ improves aspects of sleep when consumed as a bedtime drink. By leading to more balanced blood glucose levels, particularly during the first half of the night, Palatinose™ may support a longer deep sleep phase and thus restful sleep. Based on this research, there is now even more evidence to show that Palatinose™ provides a range of benefits beyond metabolic health.
