Did you know? Delphinol is the only standardised Maqui berry extract in the world, containing 35% anthocyanins and 25% delphinidins. Maqui berry powders contain around 1% of each of these active ingredients.
blood sugar peaks that typically follow food consumption.
The extract is the only naturally occurring substance to inhibit the absorption of glucose from both simple sugars such as sucrose and complex starch carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and bread.
Channeling glucose into cells The role of chromium in the management of blood glucose levels is relatively well established.
Chromium is an essential component of chromodulin, a complex also comprising the amino acids glycine, cysteine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid.
Chromodulin plays an important role in the process that moves glucose out of the bloodstream and into cells.
It effectively amplifies (up to eight fold) the interaction of insulin with cellular receptors.
The absorption of chromium from the digestive tract is typically very low,
with chromium chloride and picolinate forms typically having a bioavailability of 0.5 to 2%.
In contrast, ChromoPrecise®, an organic chromium yeast, has been confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to be up to ten times more bioavailable than any other form of chromium, including the kind found in food.
In clinical studies ChromoPrecise was shown to significantly improve fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
A combination of delphinidins and high bioavailability chromium therefore represents a novel method for blood sugar control.
Delphinidins and chromium act in a complementary way, inhibiting glucose absorption from the digestive tract and removing glucose from the bloodstream once absorbed.
This double action approach means healthy circulating levels of glucose. n
Controlling blood glucose levels can: • Reduce the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and disease;
• Prevent energy highs and lows; • Reduce cravings for sugary foods and carbohydrates;
• Prolong time between hunger pangs; • Prevent fatigue and loss of concentration; and • Help to maintain a healthy weight.
