Furthermore, Biotin, known not only for its energy-supporting properties, but also actively contributes to maintaining the health of the skin.
Active Ingredients
Active Ingredients
Alpha lipoic acid
Alpha-lipoic acid stands out as a potent antioxidant, unique for being both fat and water-soluble. This versatility allows it to offer antioxidant protection across various physiological environments in the body. It plays a crucial role in enzyme systems like PDH and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, essential for the Krebs cycle and ATP production. Alpha-lipoic acid also aids in directing calories towards energy production, increases glucose uptake into muscle cells, and helps regulate blood sugar. Notably, it can recycle antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10. Studies indicate its antioxidant prowess and ability to regenerate glutathione, preventing eye damage that can lead to cataract development.
Biotin
Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, serves as an essential cofactor for four crucial carboxylase enzymes in human metabolism. These enzymes play vital roles:
- Acetyl CoA carboxylase: Facilitates the synthesis of malonyl CoA, necessary for fatty acid production.
- Pyruvate carboxylase: A key enzyme in gluconeogenesis, forming glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like amino acids and fats.
- Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase: Catalyzes a crucial step in leucine catabolism, an essential amino acid.
- Propionyl CoA carboxylase: Essential for amino acid, cholesterol, and odd-chain fatty acid metabolism.
Cinnamomum cassia (Cinnamon cassia)
Rougui, described in pharmacopoeias and traditional medicine, tonifies Kidney Yang, enhances Ming Men (Life Gate) Fire, and effectively addresses disorders linked to kidney yang deficiency and inadequate Ming Men fire. Its properties include dispelling cold, warming the spleen, and relieving abdominal pain and coldness.
Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek)
Fenugreek, a leguminous herb cultivated in India and North Africa, has seeds rich in protein and fiber, used in cooking. Studies suggest its hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects in both animals and humans, mainly attributed to alkaloid and steroidal saponin constituents.
Gymnema Sylvestre
Gymnema, a traditional Ayurvedic medicine with a history of over 2000 years in India, is known as the "sugar destroyer" (gur-mar). Its leaves suppress sweet taste recognition on the tongue, earning its use in addressing glycosuria and urinary disorders.
Chromium
Chromium, an essential trace element, plays a crucial role in human health. Depletion can lead to hyperglycemia, a condition reversed by chromium administration. Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), containing chromium, enhances insulin's actions, influencing carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. Working synergistically with insulin, GTF facilitates glucose uptake, regulates blood sugar, and stimulates protein synthesis. Studies show that GTF chromium can improve insulin resistance, reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides, contributing to normal macronutrient metabolism and blood glucose concentrations.
