Yacon+™ is a dietary supplement formulated to promote pancreas health, promote prebiotic activity, and support healthy blood sugar levels. Yacon+™ is available in capsules from Natura-Genics®.

How It Works

Yacon+™ combines yacon root, chromium polynicotinate, and alpha-lipoic acid to support healthy glucose metabolism, pancreatic function, and digestive wellness. Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a root vegetable native to South America, traditionally valued for its natural prebiotic and metabolic support properties. The leaves and tubers of yacon contain bioactive compounds such as protocatechuic, chlorogenic, caffeic, and ferulic acids, which contribute to its antioxidant capacity.

Supports Pancreas Health

The pancreas plays a key role in digestion and in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. Yacon naturally contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of carbohydrate composed of short fructose chains that may help support pancreatic function and healthy glucose utilization.

Additionally, alpha-lipoic acid is a well-known antioxidant that helps protect cells, including those in the pancreas, from oxidative stress, supporting overall metabolic health and energy production.

Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Unlike typical carbohydrates, the natural sugars in yacon have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. This makes yacon a popular natural sweetener alternative for those seeking balanced energy levels.

Chromium polynicotinate, another key ingredient in Yacon+™, is an essential trace mineral involved in glucose metabolism. Chromium helps the body use insulin efficiently and supports balanced blood sugar levels as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Supports Prebiotic Activity

Yacon root is rich in prebiotic fibers such as inulin and FOS, which serve as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. These prebiotics help nourish Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, two beneficial bacterial species that support gut balance, digestion, and nutrient absorption.

A balanced gut microbiome contributes to overall wellness, supporting both the digestive and immune systems.
