Glucopro®
Even if the effects are not felt or seen immediately, good digestive health is one of the important indicators of optimal well-being.
After all, your digestive system is responsible for converting nutrients from the food you eat into energy and eliminating waste products from the body.1
But how do you maintain good digestive health in the first place? You can start with a daily dose of dietary fiber. Many studies have linked this nutrient to health benefits related to healthy digestion.
You can get fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains,2 and from supplements like the Friendly Fiber: Glucopro®!
This wintermelon tea-flavored fiber supplement for adults is water-soluble, cholesterol-free, and non-gelling.
More importantly, Glucopro® contains a type of dietary fiber called Resistant Maltodextrin (RMD). Apart from being stable against heat, acid, and freezing temperatures,3 RMD may help deliver benefits like:
- Improved digestive health
- Increased amounts of good bacteria in the body3
- Management of post-meal increases in blood sugar levels4
- Management of post-meal increases in triglyceride levels4
- Normal bowel function5
- Lower constipation risk5
- Reduced visceral fat values6
These benefits are some of the reasons why health experts recommend that Filipino adults aged 19 years old and above get 20 to 25 grams of dietary fiber each day to help maintain good health.7
Take much-needed strides to improve your digestive health today with the help of the Friendly Fiber: Glucopro®!
Remember: USE GLUCOPRO® UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION.

Why is Resistant Maltodextrin Important?
To understand resistant maltodextrin’s positive effects on your health, remember that it is a type of dietary fiber.
Resistant maltodextrin (RMD), as the name implies, is resistant to digestion. Instead, it is fermented by intestinal bacteria inside the large intestine5 (instead of the stomach). Ultimately, this promotes the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), improves the intestinal microbiome, and promotes peristaltic activity.10
Because of this fermentation process, RMD may ultimately help provide some of the health benefits mentioned earlier.11
These mechanisms of action can make a big difference in both your digestive and overall health.
Ask your doctor today about Glucopro®, the Friendly Fiber that can help fill in the fiber gaps in your diet.
Remember: Use Glucopro® under medical supervision.
Glucopro® is a dietary fiber supplement that may promote better digestive health. It’s known to:
-
Help prevent constipation
-
Assist in regulating bowel movement
-
Increase satiety
-
Promote better weight management, glucose tolerance, and insulin response
Glucopro® may also help reduce the risk for hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and other coronary diseases.
The dietary fiber Resistant Maltodextrin (RMD) plays a major role as it is resistant to digestion and absorption in the upper GI tract.
When combined with a healthy diet and frequent exercise, RMD may provide benefits such as helping decrease your body’s glycemic response to carbohydrate food, maintain healthy intestinal regularity, raise stool frequency and volume according to certain studies.
Studies show that Resistant Maltodextrin is Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS), with no specified limitation for its daily intake. It is well-tolerated in the digestive system.
According to the Institute of Medicine, which provides science-based advice on matters of medicine and health, the following daily fiber recommendations for adults are as follows:
-
Men aged 50 or younger: 38 grams
-
Men aged 51 or older: 30 grams
-
Women age 50 or younger: 25 grams
-
Women age 51 or older: 21 gram.
If pregnant or nursing, consult with your physician or healthcare practitioner before taking Glucopro®.

In 1987, Pharex then shifted to marketing and distributing generic products, while appointing Metro Drug as its exclusive brand distributor. This move proved to be timely because of the passing of the Generics Act of 1988. Many successful years followed, and in 2016, Pharex was acquired by RiteMED Inc. Even after more than 35 years in the industry, Pharex remains committed to empowering Filipino families by providing them with top-notch healthcare solutions.
