Fix the fluctuation:
Take control of your blood sugar levels the natural way
Knowing you have to make changes to improve your health is one thing. But making the leap and actually doing it is another. Skeptical about taking the prescription route? If you’re looking for a simple, natural solution for managing your blood sugar, remember these important words: Cerabeta Barley Beta-Glucan.
Have you been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes?
Soluble fiber has beneficial effects on glycemic control. Cerabeta is a supplement rich in barley beta-glucan, a soluble fiber approved by Health Canada to help improve postprandial glucose metabolism within two hours after a meal. It helps improve blood sugar levels after you eat, by preventing fluctuations in energy and focus caused by rapid absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. Cerabeta barley beta-glucan is the all-natural soluble fiber powerhouse.
Cerabeta forms a viscous gel in your gut that creates a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream
Cerabeta barley beta-glucan forms a viscous gel in the gastrointestinal tract. This gel slows down the digestion of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This mechanism helps prevent postprandial hyperglycemia, a common challenge for individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Cerabeta: A dual-action mechanism to improve carbohydrate metabolism
Cerabeta barley beta-glucan works to regulate blood sugar levels through a two-pronged approach:
Delayed carbohydrate breakdown
When consumed before or with a meal, Cerabeta barley beta-glucan forms a viscous gel in the small intestine. This gel acts as a physical barrier, slowing down the enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. Here's how it works:
Enzymatic inhibition
The gel created by barley beta-glucan can interfere with the activity of digestive enzymes, such as alpha-amylase, which are responsible for breaking down carbohydrates.
Slower glucose release
By hindering the enzymatic process, barley beta-glucan slows down the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose. This results in a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Improved glycemic control
The slower release of glucose helps to prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, promoting a more stable glycemic profile.
Gradual glucose absorption
In the small intestine, Cerabeta barley beta-glucan creates a thicker, unstirred water layer. This layer acts as a physical barrier, hindering the rapid diffusion of glucose into the bloodstream. This slower glucose absorption leads to several beneficial effects:
Stabilized blood sugar levels
By preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar after meals, barley beta-glucan helps maintain a more stable glycemic profile. This is particularly advantageous for individuals with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes or those seeking to improve their overall metabolic health.
Enhanced satiety
The slower release of glucose into the bloodstream can contribute to increased feelings of fullness and satisfaction. This can help manage appetite, reduce cravings, and ultimately support weight control.
Reduced risk of diabetes complications
Maintaining stable blood sugar levels is crucial for preventing long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as nerve damage, kidney disease and heart problems.
What is the scientific evidence supporting its benefits?
Barley beta-glucan has been extensively studied by researchers and approved by Health Canada to provide support for healthy (postprandial) glucose metabolism (within two hours after a meal). That is why we carefully crafted Cerabeta, the most natural fiber supplement to support healthy blood sugar levels.

It's easy to add Cerabeta barley beta-glucan into your diet
Did you know?
Cerabeta is a single-ingredient barley beta-glucan fiber supplement, that makes it easy to add 3 grams of beta-glucan into your daily diet.
While you could try and eat whole grain barley or oats every day, an easier way to introduce beta-glucan into your diet is by taking a supplement.
Cerabeta barley beta-glucan is an excellent soluble fiber for helping to manage your blood sugar because of how effective it is and how simple it is to introduce into your diet.
Cerabeta has a neutral taste and mixes easily in liquids and food, making it a great option to ensure you get enough beta-glucan every day.
Cerabeta is perfect for smoothies, yogurt, baking, sauces and more.

I understand how Cerabeta can help people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. But are there weight-management benefits as well?
Fiber can be your friend if you are living with diabetes or prediabetes. Along with helping to maintain your glucose metabolism, the fiber in Cerabeta can help with weight management, which also helps with diabetes. Studies have shown that a high dietary fiber intake has beneficial effects on metabolic control for type 2 diabetes.
Can Cerabeta help me avoid sugar spikes so I can feel fuller longer?
Soluble fibers like barley beta-glucan in Cerabeta, create a gel-like substance in the intestines. This lining slows the digestion of carbohydrates and sugar, resulting in a slower and more consistent absorption of sugar into your bloodstream. A slower, more consistent digestion of glucose will help you avoid the feeling of “sugar spikes” between meals, and will leave you feeling fuller for longer, which may help you eat less throughout the day to control your weight.
What about things like sleep, exercise and a balanced diet?
While incorporating Cerabeta barley beta-glucan into your diet is a great step, it's crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep.
Is barley beta-glucan approved?
Barley beta-glucan has been extensively researched and approved by health agencies like Health Canada and the EFSA to maintain blood sugar levels.
Why is soluble fiber important for my diet?
Soluble fiber is important for your diet because it can lower your risk of diabetes by moderating your blood sugar levels, decrease your risk of heart disease by lowering your cholesterol levels, help you maintain a healthy weight by keeping you fuller for longer, and help with athletic performance by acting as a prebiotic
What are Ozempic and Wegovy?
Ozempic and Wegovy are the man-made version of the satiety hormone GLP-1. Both are prescription medications invented in Denmark that have become popular helping to improve blood sugar levels and for weight loss.
Ozempic was initially approved by the FDA as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, but its prescription off-label is now in high demand among people wanting to lose weight. Wegovy is a higher dosage version of Ozempic.
Do Ozempic and Wegovy contain a semaglutide?
Their active ingredient is called semaglutide, a man-made version of your natural satiety hormone GLP-1. However, the difference is that this semaglutide does not last in your body for minutes, but for about a week.
How do Ozempic and Wegovy work?
Ozempic and Wegovy work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which tells you to feel full when you've eaten enough. Imagine your body has a "fullness signal" (GLP-1) that fades in minutes because clean-up crews (DPP-4 enzyme) and helpers (kidneys) naturally remove it.
Semaglutide is different. It has a special "shield" that protects it from being removed from your body, allowing it to last much longer (around a week) in your blood at a higher concentration than the natural GLP-1.
