SiPore®'s micron-sized natural mineral traps digestive enzymes like amylase and lipase in tiny pores, slowing the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats. SiPore® works locally in your gut during digestion. It does not enter the bloodstream and is designed to reduce the impact of the food you eat. ### Easy as 1, 2, 3. 1. **Sit down to eat.** Lunch, dinner, pasta, pizza. Whatever you love. 2. **Take 2 capsules.** With a glass of water, at your first bite. 3. **Enjoy your meal.** SiPore® gets to work in your gut while you eat. That’s it. ### Patented Innovation, Uncompromising Quality. - **Self-affirmed GRAS** Our Sipore® mineral holds a self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) determination.

We’ve got answers. **How does it work?** Glucose Stabilizer uses patented SiPore® technology to work locally in your gut. It entraps digestive enzymes (alpha-amylase and lipase) that break down carbs and fats, helping slow how quickly your meal is processed. This leads to a more gradual release of energy after eating, supporting a steadier post-meal experience. SiPore® does not enter the bloodstream and passes through the body naturally. **What's the difference between Carb Fence and Glucose Stabilizer?** Both products use patented SiPore® technology and are designed to work locally in the gut during digestion. However, they are intended for different uses and fit into different types of routines. Carb Fence™ is a medical food in liquid form intended for the dietary management of impaired carbohydrate metabolism (when your body struggles to keep blood sugar in a healthy range after eating carbs) under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It delivers a higher amount of SiPore® per meal. Glucose Stabilizer is a dietary supplement in capsule form designed for everyday metabolic support. It provides a lower daily dose of SiPore® and is typically taken twice daily. In short: Carb Fence™ is a medical food designed for more targeted meal-based support, while Glucose Stabilizer is a dietary supplement intended for everyday wellness support. **Are there any side effects?** SiPore® works locally in the gut and does not enter the bloodstream. It is generally well tolerated, and many users report a gentle experience when taken with meals. **Can I pause or cancel?** Yes, from your account. Monthly plans have a 2-month minimum. After that (and anytime on the 3-month plan) you can pause, change or cancel. ### Reduce the impact of modern meals. - **[SIGRID Glucose Stabilizer](https://sigridlife.com/products/glucosestabilizer)** (Dietary supplement) — SIGRID Glucose Stabilizer was developed to help smooth the body's response to modern food.
