Effective help against sugar cravings

Sweets and sugar are a permanent fixture in our lives and many people find it extremely difficult to give them up. I am not exempt from this. I also have phases in my life when I eat more sugar than is good.
But it's the long-term trend that's important. Just like reminding yourself again and again to use less sugar.


Sugar damages the kidneys, liver, heart, brain, eyes and bones. So there are plenty of reasons to reduce sugar.
The damage to the body is caused, among other things, by a kind of caramelization process that takes place when sugar is consumed in excess. This process is called glycation.
If you want to know how far this has already progressed in your case, have your fasting sugar measured. Fasting sugar means that you only drink water and do not eat anything before the measurement. And the long-term sugar, the so-calledhbA1C value, should be measured. To complete the picture of how much damage the sugar has already done, it may also make sense to have your CRP ultrasensitive, triglycerides and uric acid measured. Liver values and total protein may also be useful. You should discuss the results with someone who is familiar with functional medicine. This is because the warning signs can be recognized much earlier than the limits of conventional medicine.
I have already made several podcast episodes on the subject of sugar. Also on why fruit should also be viewed critically if you eat too much of it. Why apple juice or orange juice can be drunk, but are not a suitable drink for every day.
Give uparktisbiopharma.ch/podcast just type in the word sugar and wait (don't press enter) and you'll get a whole list of podcast episodes and blog articles that I've done on this topic over the last few years.
The latest podcast episode on the topic is episode 216

How can you reduce sugar?

The good news is that there are also so-called good sugars, for example galactose. That's exactly what I talk about in this episode.
I also have agreat interview with Dr. Kurt Mosetter, MD. about this. It was on the QS24 channel.


The anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner discovered sugar from mistletoe = galactose.
Galactose is what is in Miraculix's magic potion from the Asterix and Obelix stories. In Asia, galactose is obtained from lentils or chickpeas.

What is galactose used for?

Galactose is also called brain sugar because it goes directly into the brain without the need for insulin and therefore gives you energy. For example, if you can't get going in the morning or have a low in the afternoon after lunch, galactose is perfect for an energy boost.
Galactose is also used for people who tend to be forgetful or who suffer from burnout, depression or even Alzheimer's disease. Because it is metabolized independently of insulin, galactose, unlike conventional sugar, does not lead to hypoglycaemia or a build-up of fat deposits in the body. This means that it does not lead to weight gain or cravings. Quite the opposite.
Galactose even activates the burning of fat and can also be used to get rid of sweet cravings. That's why we have galactose in our "Sweet Cravings Adé Bundle", for example.
Galactose can help you metabolize the sugars from the remaining carbohydrates better. It doesn't take much, e.g. half a teaspoon in your tea, that's enough.

Benefits of galactose for health and the gut

Energy source

Galactose is a simple sugar that can be converted into energy by the body.

This is particularly important for the brain, which uses glucose as its primary source of energy. Galactose can also be used to produce energy for other organs and tissues.

Promoting intestinal health

Galactose can positively influence the intestinal flora and thus promote intestinal health.It does this by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.Healthy gut flora is important for digestion, nutrient absorption and the immune system.

Supporting brain development

Galactose plays an important role in brain development. It is an important building block for the formation of nerve cells and synapses. A sufficient intake of galactose can therefore promote cognitive development and learning ability.

Improved absorption of calcium

Galactose can improve the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Calcium is important for the health of bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake can therefore reduce the risk of fractures and other bone diseases.

Other potential benefits

Galactose could also have positive effects on the immune system, heart health and blood sugar levels. However, research into these potential benefits is still ongoing.

Our galactose from Arktis BioPharma

Galactose is not cheap, but Dr. Mosetter explains in the aforementioned interview also why you should stay away from cheap galactose from China. You don't need much high-quality galactose, so the price shouldn't be a problem!
Our galactose is highly pure and comes in 2 sizes:
150g in a brown glass jar, CHF 41.00
