Understanding Lower GI Sugars
We believe in transparency. These are the independent sources we recommend if you want to learn more about glycaemic index, blood glucose, and the science behind our ingredients.
All sources are fully independent of Releeese
Why we share this
Releeese is a food brand, not a medical authority. Rather than making health claims ourselves, we point you towards trusted, independent organisations who have already done the science. Everything below comes from bodies that have no commercial relationship with us.

Our ingredients
RELEEESE products are crafted using a carefully selected range of naturally derived, lower glycaemic sugars and functional ingredients — each product uses its own specific blend chosen for taste, texture, and glycaemic profile. Highlighted ingredients carry authorised EU, UK and EFSA health claims. Check individual product labels for the exact ingredients used in each product.
AUTHORISED HEALTH CLAIMS
