A substance that can be converted into glucose in the body; essentially a glucose precursor.
From 'gluco-' (glucose) plus Greek 'genos' (born, produced); literally means 'glucose-producing' or 'glucose-generating.'
Glucogene is what your liver loves to convert—glycogen (the stored version) is your body's emergency glucose factory, and glucogenes are the raw materials that keep that factory running!
