Product Description

Glucerna Control Coffee is a scientifically formulated ready-to-drink meal replacement by Abbott, specifically designed for adults who want to maintain normal blood glucose levels while managing their weight. Each 220ml bottle provides 223 kcal and 15.4g of protein — classified as high protein under EU nutrition regulations — alongside a low glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrate system that uses slowly digestible sources including corn fibre, sucromalt, isomaltulose, and FOS.

The standout feature of Glucerna Control is chromium — a mineral that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, as permitted under EU Regulation 432/2012. The formula uses a unique blend of slowly digestible carbohydrates designed to release glucose gradually, helping avoid the blood sugar spikes associated with fast-digesting carbohydrates. This makes it particularly relevant for people managing pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or those who are simply monitoring their blood glucose as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Glucerna Control is not the same as Ensure NutriVigor. While both are Abbott products, Glucerna Control is classified as a meal replacement (it can replace a full meal) and is formulated for glucose management. NutriVigor is a nutritional supplement focused on muscle support. Glucerna Control is suitable for adults only, not for children, and not for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless recommended by a healthcare professional.

Gluten free. Suitable for vegetarians. Suitable for lactose intolerance. Not for people with galactosaemia. Contains sweetener sucralose (E955). The coffee flavour uses caramel colour E150d for its appearance — no artificial flavours.
