Fiber’s Fit for GLP-1 Consumers
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is often referred to as the satiety hormone. It is a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and may suppress appetite, promoting satiety. After eating a meal, GLP-1 works by binding to receptors which send messages to the body to increase the amount of insulin released. Insulin tells the body’s cells to take in blood glucose, decreasing glucose levels in the blood.
