Sweetness Backed by Science

Poli isn’t just hype. Independent labs and global standards confirm what we already knew: sugar can be real, functional, and better for you.

Here’s the proof.

Benefits

    • The Claim: Poli has a glycemic index of 51.7 — about 43% lower than white sugar.

    • Why it Matters: Lower GI means a smaller blood sugar rise → steadier energy, less spike-and-crash.

    • The Proof: Independent testing by BIO BASIC Italy (2023) and in vitro validation in India (2023) under ISO 26642 food standards.

    • Citation:BIO BASIC, Determination of the Glycaemic Index of Policane® (2023).

    • The Claim: Poli carries natural antioxidants at levels you’d normally only see in superfoods like blueberries.

    • The Proof:Eurofins (2025) measured an ORAC value of 2500 µmol TE/100 g — unprecedented for a sugar.

    • Citation:Eurofins, Antioxidant Capacity of Policane® (2025).

    • The Claim: Poli is the first and only industrial sugar to retain policosanols — plant compounds found in cane husk.

    • Why it Matters: Studies link policosanols to heart health, cholesterol balance, and metabolic support.

    • The Proof: Independent assay (2024) confirmed >200 ppm policosanols in Poli.

    • Disclosure: Research on isolated policosanols is ongoing; results may not translate 1:1 to whole foods.

    • Citation:Policosanol Content Report (2024).

    • The Claim: Poli keeps trace minerals stripped from refined sugar: calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron.

    • The Proof: Vitamin/Mineral assay (2023) validated presence of essential micronutrients.

    • Citation:VIT/MIN Content Report – SAQ 8018 (2023).

    • The Claim: Sweetness without the footprint.

    • The Proof: Verified under ISO 14067:2018 by SCS (2025) — 0.339 kg CO₂e per 1 kg POLI, one of the lowest footprints for sugar.

    • Citation: SCS Verification Statement (2025).

Every other sweetener makes you choose. With Poli, you get it all.

White Sugar / Cane Sugar: Real, but empty and spiky.

Monk Fruit / Stevia: No spike, but fake taste, often cut with fillers, not real sugar.

Poli: The only sugar that’s real, tastes amazing, has science-backed benefits, and is planet-friendly.

Low Glycemic Index

This chart shows how Poli affects blood sugar compared to white sugar and pure glucose. Independent testing found Poli has a glycemic index of 51.7, about 43% lower than white sugar. That means steadier energy and less of a spike-and-crash effect.

Disclosure Note

Research on compounds like policosanols is ongoing and results may vary. Poli is not a medical product — it’s a better, functional sugar designed to keep more of nature’s benefits intact. Our commitment: always transparent, always backed by independent testing.
