What are Extend Snacks?
Developed
originally for people with diabetes, Extend Snacks help stabilize blood sugar for up to 9 hours – longer
than any other snack on the market today! By doing so, Extend Snacks help to naturally control hunger, minimize diabetes
symptoms, prevent low blood sugar and provide a continuous
source of energy for even the most strenuous activities.

How Extend Snacks came to be
A breakthrough in carbohydrate management from
an expert in metabolism
Knowing that the
body converts complex (low glycemic) carbohydrates to blood
sugar much more slowly than simple (high glycemic)
carbohydrates, Dr. Kaufman, a physician specializing in
endocrinology, metabolism and diabetes, hypothesized that
complex carbs could help people dramatically reduce blood
sugar fluctuations, improve their energy level and naturally
suppress their appetite.
Clinical studies proved her right and
instantly, a breakthrough was born! Dr. Kaufman’s formula – a
unique, low glycemic blend of slow-burning carbohydrates,
protein and fats – uses uncooked cornstarch, a vital complex
carbohydrate, as a key ingredient. Extend Snacks are the only snacks
clinically proven to help stabilize blood sugar and control
hunger for up to 9 hours!
Extend Snacks have come a long way since their
original formulation. They have already received 12 patents
worldwide, including patents for their ability to help stabilize
blood sugar levels, naturally suppress appetite, and improve
exercise performance and recovery. They are also now available in
low-carb, sugar-free, kosher and even gluten-free
flavors.

How Extend Snacks work. The secret is all in the timing. Unlike the
high glycemic carbohydrates in most foods that convert to
glucose quickly causing blood sugar and insulin levels to
spike, Extend Snacks have a unique
combination of ingredients with a low glycemic index. So, they break down gradually and releases
nutrients into your system more slowly and evenly, to provide
you with a continuous source of energy for up to 9
hours.
This helps stabilize blood sugar levels,
offering important benefits:
For those trying to manage their weight – Extend Snacks help prevent the drops
in blood sugar that trigger appetite. They also decrease the
body’s tendency to store fat by helping to prevent spikes in
blood sugar and insulin.
For those with diabetes or hypoglycemia – Extend Snacks help individuals
avoid the annoying roller coaster ride of blood sugar highs
and lows which have become an unwelcome part of their
routine.
For athletes and those who participate in any physically demanding activity – Extend Snacks provide a
continuous source of energy and protect against low-blood
sugar for up to 9 hours.
