Clinical Studies
Published 2020 in PLoS ONE 15(6): e0234237
A novel nutritional supplement containing amino acids and chromium decreases postprandial glucose response in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Acute consumption of Good Idea® with a standardized meal elicited a significant 24% reduction in postprandial blood glucose iAUC0-120min, as well as a 5.4% decrease in Cmax compared to placebo (ITT-population, n=60). There was no significant difference in overall insulin responses after Good Idea® compared to placebo.

A drink containing amino acids and chromium picolinate improves postprandial glycemia at breakfast in healthy, overweight subjects
5AA+CrPic and 5AA, respectively, lowered the incremental glucose peak (P< 0.001) by almost 30% compared to Ref. No significant differences in incremental insulin peaks were found but, during the first 15 min, 5AA induced a higher insulin response (+112%; p<0.01) compared to Ref. Interestingly, 5AA+CrPic reduced the initial AA-induced insulin increase by more than 50%, indicating improved insulin economy.

The Inventor of GOOD IDEA
Dr. Elin Östman
A PhD in Applied Nutrition, Dr. Östman, spent over 20 years researching natural properties of food that support metabolism and balance blood sugar levels. Through her years of research, she discovered that pairing a blend of five essential amino acids with chromium picolinate helped lower post-meal blood sugar levels. This led to the development of the GOOD IDEA patented blend as it is today, which is clinically proven to reduce post-meal blood sugar by an average of 25%.
The Science Behind the GOOD IDEA Formula
Metabolic Syndrome is a health condition that impacts approximately 40% of the American adult population. Our busy schedules, increasing reliance on sugar, and fluctuations in energy levels throughout the day all point to a dramatic increase in this number in the coming years. As our rates of Metabolic Syndrome increase, so do our likelihood of the associated health consequences: diabetes, obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, and cardiovascular conditions.
The good news is many of the factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome can be modified with lifestyle changes. Sugar cravings, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, increased abdominal fat, and dramatic changes in energy levels can all be improved with the proper choices and tools.
The creators of GOOD IDEA, metabolic researchers, recognized the rising rates of metabolic conditions and found a scientifically proven way to help. GOOD IDEA is a functional sparkling water formulated with amino acids and natural flavors, designed to help improve metabolic health by reducing post-prandial blood glucose spikes. By improving glycemic control, cravings are reduced, and energy levels are improved.
How GOOD IDEA Works
Five essential amino acids and a small amount of the essential mineral chromium, in the form of chromium picolinate, work together to reduce blood sugar spikes and naturally stimulate GLP-1. Amino acids (L-leucine, L-threonine, L-lysine monohydrochloride, L-Isoleucine, L-valine) prime the metabolism to provide more effective energy from the food you eat. Chromium picolinate enhances insulin sensitivity in order to more effectively transport energy into the cells.
Combined, they synergistically reduce total post-meal blood sugar and naturally stimulate GLP-1. This helps to improve our energy levels, reduce cravings, and improve our metabolic health.
What Does Reducing Blood Sugar Mean for Me?
When we stabilize our blood sugar levels, we reduce the extreme highs and lows that leave us feeling exhausted, moody, and unable to think clearly. In the short term, GOOD IDEA can help you stabilize your energy levels so you can reduce post-meal crashes, sugar cravings, and needless calorie intake.
This enhanced glucose control can help us to have improved energy levels, enhance our metabolic health and increase our mental clarity.
