Simple fruit sugar, absorbed more slowly than glucose

We rank Fructose by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

• Fructose is a simple sugar found naturally in fruits.
• It is a type of carbohydrate, which are the nutrients the body uses for energy.
• Compared to glucose, which is the primary sugar in the blood, fructose is absorbed by the body more slowly.

Why it's used

• It is used as a sweetener in various food and supplement products.
• Because it is absorbed more slowly than glucose, it provides a different metabolic response in the body.

How it's made

• Commercial fructose is produced by extracting the sugar from natural plant sources.
• The extracted sugar is then refined and processed into a powder or syrup form for use in supplements.

What it typically costs

• Fructose is generally an affordable ingredient.
• This is because the raw materials used to source the sugar are abundant and the industrial processes to refine it are highly efficient.
