Use of vinegar can be traced back more than 5,000 years making it one of the earliest fermented foods. Studies have shown that acetic acid found in Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) may support healthy blood sugar metabolism and other metabolic processes in already healthy individuals†. Vinegar is also commenly consumed as a cleanser to support detox diets†. Liquid vinegar may impact tooth enamel and esophogeal health, making our capsule format a great alternative way to support optimal health†.
Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. Several population studies have found coffee consumption to be inversely associated with weight gain, and consequently, to also offer other health benefits. On the basis of this epidemiological data, further research found that the compound chlorogenic acid is the reason for this effect. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that pure 5-caffeoylquinic acid - the most represented chlorogenic acid in coffee – inhibits glucose absorption from the intestine, as well as the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, which is involved in glucose release from the liver into the blood stream. By inhibiting these processes, blood sugar is lowered, triggering the breakdown of fatty tissue for energy and supporting weight management.
Berberine is a compound found in a variety of plants, some including European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, phellodendron, and tree turmeric. Berberine has a variety of functions inside cells. One of the main functions is activating an important enzyme called AMPK, which regulates metabolism. Berberine has been researched in blood sugar regulation, weight management, and support in lowering of triglycerides and cholesterol already within range. Controlled trials have shown berberine to support healthy Hemoglobin A1C when taken in doses of 500mg. Cinnamon also has been studied in its ability to modulate activities of blood sugar regulation.
Worldwide obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years. Many negative health related issues are impacted by obesity. Abdominal obesity in particular, contributes to possible health challenges. Raspberry ketones are natural compounds primarily responsible for the aroma of red raspberries. In separate animal studies, raspberry ketones manifested positive results related to weight loss, including helping with fat tissue breakdown and increasing a key fat melting hormone called adiponectin. A third study suggests raspberry ketones may support liver health when stressed by a fatty diet.
Cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum. It has been recognized as a spice and a medicine since antiquity; in fact, it was so highly prized among ancient nations that it was regarded as a gift for monarchs and even for a god: a fine inscription records the gift of cinnamon and cassia to the temple of Apollo at Miletus. Cinnamon continues to be a popular spice, and has been studied extensively for its positive effects in blood sugar and lipid metabolism. Chromium is an essential nutrient required for sugar and fat metabolism. However, normal dietary intake of chromium for humans is often suboptimal. In such individuals supplemental...Full Details
