Proof of Concept
¡ To develop a proof of concept and to ensure that the product is viable for human consumption and has the ability to
retain and deliver the benefits to the consumer various tests were conducted
¡ These tests were primarily conducted by SMS Lab Services Private Limited and world renowned GI Labs ¡ Tests suggested that herbal water treated sugar are glycosides which are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. The
treated sugar had negligible effect on blood glucose, which is good for people on carbohydrate controlled diet and is beneficial for diabetic nephropathy patients
