Slow-release carbohydrates (aka carbs) are a quality carb that contain high levels of something called slowly digestible starch (SDS). SDS takes longer for our body to break down than some other types of starches. Eating a food with a high amount of slow-release carbs can lead to a steady release of energy over time.

belVita has a special baking process that helps preserve the slow-release carb content. This process controls heat, moisture and pressure to prevent too much of the slow-release carbs from changing to fast-release carbs that are digested quicker.

belVita Breakfast Biscuits contain high amounts of slow-release carbs, which are broken down slowly in the body. As they break down, these carbs become a type of sugar called glucose, which provides energy to our bodies. This glucose gets released slowly, leading to steady morning energy about four hours.
