Frequently asked questions
Does this provide a steady energy release?
Yes. Glycosade is formulated with a patented high amylopectin cornstarch that is processed to provide a slow and controlled release of glucose, which is essential for maintaining metabolic stability in patients with hepatic GSD.
Can this be used with a feeding tube?
Absolutely. The formula is designed for flexibility and can be administered as a standard drink or via a feeding tube due to its controlled flow consistency.
Is it easy to prepare for daily use?
Yes, it is designed for convenience. Each single-serve 60-gram packet is intended to be mixed into 120 mL (4 ounces) of cold water or another clinically suitable cold fluid.
Can I heat the mixture to make it warmer?
No. You must not heat or warm the product. Heating the powder destroys the hydrothermal properties of the starch, which are required for the slow-release effect.
Is each packet a precise dosage?
Yes. Every 60-gram packet provides a consistent amount of carbohydrates—equivalent to 55 grams of uncooked cornstarch—which allows for accurate dietary management.
How should I determine my required dosage?
Dosage and administration should always be determined by a clinician or dietitian based on the patient’s specific age, body weight, and medical condition.
Should I save leftover mixture for later?
No. The product must be freshly prepared and consumed immediately after mixing to ensure maximum efficacy of the starch technology.
Does this contain any fats or sugars?
No, Glycosade is a focused carbohydrate supplement that is free from proteins, fats, and sugars, specifically designed for the dietary management of hepatic GSD.
Are there any specific storage requirements?
You should store the packets in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the powder before it is mixed for use.
How many servings are in one box?
Each box contains 30 individual 60-gram packets, ensuring that you have an ample supply for precise, hygiene-conscious daily dosing.
