Unfortunately, the situation has taken a disappointing turn. After working with the same family for over 20 years, the father, who was dedicated to maintaining the quality we built together, passed away, and his children are no longer upholding that legacy. They initially raised prices by 70% and began following shortcuts commonly used in Mexico to cut agave production costs. The changes compromised the quality to a degree that we couldn't, in good conscience, continue offering the agave product to our customers. For now, we have removed it from our website and won't restock until we can find a truly comparable replacement-which, regrettably, does not yet exist.
Diabetic Human clinical trials on Volcanic Nectar Blue Agave showed that the product is Low Glycemic in diabetics. Further, the product did not trigger Adipose tissue fat-storage in humans. The research showed that Volcanic Nectar Blue Agave (at one, two, and three servings) neither triggered fat-storage in fat cells nor elevated blood glucose insulin levels, which would lead to obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. The researchers noted that not all agave products have been clinically proven, and the ratios of ingredients in agave (stated or not stated on labels) varies and is not standardized.
