Glucose Health Inc. (GLUC)

Of course, I grabbed the wrong pool cleaning supplies. Back to WalMart. Went early to avoid the throngs. Took about 5 minutes this time and person I asked must have been the employee of the month, despite several piercing in their face. Follow the red arrow below:




No idea on the efficacy of the product. I don't have the diabetes, at least yet. But I did try the product for taste purposes. Functional beverages, in general, will never taste as good as high sugar products; they're awesome and taste great because of the sugar. What I'm saying, functional beverages get more leeway in the taste department. If this beverage has a function (weight loss, sugar control, alertness, etc.), it doesn't have to taste as good as a thirst quenching product. That said, the aftertaste of Glucose Health leaves a lot to be desired. Kind of a let down after seeing the product (pleasing appearance) and smelling it (pleasant aroma).

As far as price point per serving ($10 / 60 servings = $0.16 per serving), GLUC can't be beat. At first glance, the other products were usually under $10 (Glucerna, Boost, etc.) but they were typical 4 to 6 servings in a ready-made single serve bottles. The competitors are ready-to-drink and probably taste better but the price is reflective of that. GLUC doesn't have neither the capital, resources, or scale to compete head-to-head in the single serve category. So probably best where they are. Now, if they could take care of that aftertaste...
