Glycaemic index of Jake products?

Hi there,
I was just wondering what the glycaemic index of Jake products are? Thanks!

Hi @Eddie_JEK, we haven't indexed Jake, so unfortunately I cannot give you an exact answer to what the glycemic index of Jake is.

Firstly, there are a lot of different (non-carbohydrate) nutrients in Jake that have an effect on the glycemic load of the product. Furthermore, the GI/GL differs per person and even per meal.

Only if we'd perform a large-scale study, we could provide you with a sensible estimate. Still, that estimate wouldn't be really helpful. An insulin index might be better but is also of questionable worth.

In the end, if you're curious to know what Jake will do with your blood glucose, it is arguably best to just measure it yourself.

I guess it would be too simplistic but would not it be possible to give some estimate based on the kind carbohydrates in Jake. Would not it be true that it is hard to believe that the glycaemic index of Jake is higher than the highest glycaemic index of any of the carbs in Jake.

Huel have just had their GI published. I think it cost them £3,500 to carry out. They got a great score of 27 whereas the Rosa Labs Soylent is well above 60. Huel do not use maltodextrin for carbs which is known to spike the blood.

I use a glucose meter to check my blood and there's no sugar spike with Jake

See the two interesting links below from Huel's forum (I'm assuming it's public knowledge as the forum is public.)

Thanks for reporting that. I had assumed Jake would have a horrendous glycemic effect.

Mana has just published its GI and it is 29, so very close to Huel - http://blog.mojemana.cz/clinical/?lang=en
Hopefully Jake will do the same soon, it would be a very nice comparison.

Jake probably has a very good GI, however, I do not think there is a need to let it be calculated. There is so much fake stuff going on, and so many people claiming things about the GI of their products, that the experience of actual diabetics is worth way more than a random number. I once received an excel file from the customer service of Jake which contained the sugar lvls in the blood of a diabetic on Jake, and he was very positive about the whole experience. In any case, I read the study MANA has performed and am happy that it is performed by the University of Prague, that does give me a good feeling.
