Yacon Siroop Bio 250ml is a dietary supplement in the form of yacon syrup. The root vegetable (yacón root) grows in the Peruvian Andes and has a naturally sweet apple and caramel flavor. That is why yacon is also called "earth apple" in Peru. Yacon has a glycemic index of 1-5. The glycemic index (GI) indicates the speed at which carbohydrates are digested in the intestines and absorbed into the blood as glucose. The lower it is, the more favorable it is for blood sugar. Yacon can be used instead of sugar in desserts, muesli, tea or smoothies. Store in a cool, dry and closed place.

The specific characteristics and properties of the key ingredient – ​​yacon

Yacon is a perennial plant of the genus Smallanthus of the Asteraceae family. Its homeland is the slopes of the eastern side of the Andes at an altitude of 950 to 2700 meters. In taste and aroma, it resembles something between caramel and an apple. It is for this analogy that it is also called "earth apple" or "diet potato". The sweet and crunchy roots are eaten. They are characterized by low calorie content and the presence of inulin, which is a difficult to digest carbohydrate. Yacon tubers consist mainly of fructooligosaccharides and water. This means that most carbohydrate sugars are not absorbed by the body, which leads to very low levels of absorbed calories and blood sugar. There are not many vitamins and minerals in yacon itself, but it helps the body absorb vitamins and minerals from all other foods. Yacon is rich in potassium, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, amino acids, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, ascorbic, caffeic and chlorogenic acids. The presence of fructooligosaccharides in yacon allows the body to receive a limited amount of sugar of plant origin, which is important for people with diabetes and high cholesterol levels in the blood. The presence of a large amount of potassium in the chemical composition of yacon has a positive effect on the state of the cardiovascular system and regulates blood pressure. Yacon is low-calorie, has a laxative and mild diuretic effect, actively cleanses the body of toxins, accelerates blood flow and metabolic processes, has a positive effect on the state of the hormonal system.
