Fabimilk nutrition LGI is a balanced nutritional milk beverage, with a vanilla flavour. This beverage can be consumed as a snack or for breakfast. It has been formulated for people concerned with their weight control, by limiting increase in glycemia (blood glucose level). It adheres to the nutritional recommendations for the whole of the population, especially for people with diabetes.

Distribution of Caloric Intakes
Currently, in order to limit the risks of obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, it is recognised that caloric intakes of daily food have to be between:
10 and 20% proteins
 30 and 35% lipids
40 and 60% carbohydrates.
Our Fabimilk nutrition LGI product, based on milk ingredients, adheres totally to this caloric distribution.

Lipidic Components
For people with diabetes, the cardiovascular diseases risk is two to four times higher than for the general population. Saturated fatty acid should therefore provide under 10% total energy because of their role in cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Polyunsaturated fatty acids should not exceed 10% of total daily energy. This restriction on intake of polyunsaturated fatty acid is based upon the lipid oxidation and the production of peroxides, compounds potentially harmful. The mono-unsaturated fatty acids should usually provide between 10% and 20% total energy.
Fabimilk nutrition LGI provides only vegetable fat, rapeseed oil rich in mono and poly-unsaturated fatty acid and palm oil, and follows all these recommendations.

Carbohydrates with a Low Glycemic Index
After a food intake, glycemia increases. Glycemic index measures the importance and speed of glucose increase in blood after a food intake.
Intake of low glycemic index food improves the postprandial glycemia, improves the lipid profile (decreases the blood triglycerides, LDL cholesterol) and prevents cardiovascular diseases.
The Fabimilk nutrition LGI beverage doesn’t contain any carbohydrates with high glycemic index. The only added carbohydrates are lactose, a carbohydrate with medium glycemic index and fructose, a carbohydrate with low glycemic index.
