About GLUCOSE TABLETS
Meijer Glucose Tablets in Orange flavor are a chewable supplement tablet designed for rapid blood glucose elevation, commonly used by people with diabetes or other conditions involving hypoglycemia. These tablets are sold under the Meijer private label and are typically found in the pharmacy or diabetic care section of Meijer stores.
The tablet formulation uses dextrose (D-glucose) as the primary active ingredient, with maltodextrin serving as a secondary carbohydrate carrier. Citric acid provides tartness and acts as a flavor enhancer. Magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose are pharmaceutical excipients used to bind and form the tablet structure. Natural and artificial orange flavor gives the tablet its characteristic taste. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is included as an antioxidant. Yellow 6 (sunset yellow) is used as a synthetic colorant to achieve the orange appearance. No food allergens are declared in the ingredient list.
Nutritionally, these tablets are essentially pure carbohydrate, delivering 375 calories per 100 grams and 100 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams of product. The standard serving is 4 tablets (4 grams total), providing 15 grams of fast-acting glucose — the standard clinical recommendation for treating mild to moderate hypoglycemia.
Glucose tablets are a medically recognized tool for hypoglycemia management and should be used per physician or diabetes educator guidance. Consumers who prefer to avoid Yellow 6 may wish to consider natural-color alternatives. Meijer's store-brand pricing typically makes these tablets more affordable than national brand equivalents.
