RARE & NATURALLY OCCURING
The origins of allulose are natural — it is a real sugar. It is not an artificial sweetener or a sugar alcohol. Due to its rarity in nature, being only one of twelve others of its kind, allulose is considered a rare sugar.

DIABETIC & KETO FRIENDLY
Studies have shown that allulose does not elicit the same physiological response as other sugars, so it does not increase blood glucose. For this reason, it is a welcome choice for diabetic and keto diets, as well as for anyone with insulin resistance or metabolic disorders.

what is allulose
A RARE & NATURALLY OCCURRING SUGAR ALTERNATIVE
Allulose (D-psicose) is a rare sugar that the body doesn't recognize as sugar. Unlike common sugars, it is metabolized differently, bypasses digestion, is rapidly absorbed and then excreted intact.
But its rarity is not the only thing that makes this sweet monosaccharide so unique. Since our body metabolizes allulose differently than it does common sugars, it does not increase blood glucose or insulin levels. In some recent studies, it has even been shown to reduce the standard glucose and insulin spike when consumed before or with sugar.
While replacing sugar with allulose is a great idea, always remember that the best way to optimize your blood sugar is to eat a well-balanced diet low in sugar, simple carbohydrates and starches.
HOW IT WORKS
THE METABOLISM OF COMMON SUGAR VS. ALLULOSE
The metabolism of glucose and carbohydrates (i.e. sugar) is a chemical reaction in the body that converts food into energy. Maintaining a nutritious diet helps ensure that this process remains balanced. The human body feels best when things are working in equilibrium, and this includes your blood glucose levels. Maintaining stable blood glucose is fundamental for good health, influencing energy levels, weight management, insulin response and disease risk.
Consuming sugar in excess gets the body out of this balance and spikes blood sugar and the insulin response. On the contrary, consuming allulose in place of sugar has no impact on blood sugar and insulin, allowing your body to continue operating in harmony.
Allulose is technically a sugar, but not the sugar you may be used to. Allulose occurs naturally in very small amounts in some foods, like figs, which makes it a rare sugar. However, it is metabolized differently in the body and has no impact on blood glucose or insulin levels, which is why it is recognized by the FDA as having "zero sugar" on nutritional labeling.

Yes, allulose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) to consume for use in foods and beverages by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Like with any sweetener, we recommend consuming it in moderation.

This is dependent on why you are counting or concerned with carbohydrate intake. Diabetics who count carbs for insulin dosing will want to modify their approach when consuming allulose-containing products in the same way they do for products containing fiber and sugar alcohols. This is because allulose does not raise blood glucose levels.
