FAQ
Will Maple Ignite cause a sugar crash?
Maple syrup is predominately sucrose, providing balanced energy as it’s made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose joined together.
The sugars in maple syrup begin to break down and deliver glucose the moment it enters your bloodstream. And because it has a lower glycaemic index than other sugars, it continues to break down over a longer stretch of time to keep you fuelled for longer without the threat of GI distress.
