Glucose liquid, BP

Glucose liquid, BP, is a concentrated carbohydrate syrup specified to British Pharmacopoeia standards. The form described here is liquid, and it mainly provides carbohydrate rather than fat or protein. Per 100g, it contains 85g of carbohydrate, including 40g of sugars, and provides 1355 kJ of energy. Its salt content is 0.38g.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The sugars figure is part of the total carbohydrate content, not an additional amount, which is relevant when keeping track of carbohydrate intake. Frequent consumption of sugars contributes to tooth decay. The energy and salt content are also worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
