A composition for glycemic control includes a sweetening agent, a polyphenol, and a starch. Examples of two formulations include but are not limited to i) a sweetening agent, gallic acid as the polyphenol and arabinoxylan as the starch； and ii) a sweetening agent, hesperitin or hesperidin as the polyphenol and inulin as the starch. Advantageously, the formulations include a combination of components to render an effective formulation that mitigates or rectifies hyperglycemic effects of high glycemic loads or intake.
