About this supplement
Sucrose is a common disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and fructose, primarily derived from sugar cane or sugar beet. It is widely used as a sweetener in various food products, including gummy vitamins and flavored supplements. While it enhances taste, sucrose can contribute to rapid blood sugar spikes and potential metabolic issues when consumed in excess.
