MULTIVITAMIN/MINERAL A full spectrum of essential micronutrients is provided to aid in the metabolism of macronutrients and to support the enzyme and receptor functions critical to maintaining proper glycemic control and hormone functions.
HIGH QUALITY WHEY PROTEIN has been shown to support weight control and promote feelings of satiety for appetite control in clinical trials. Metabol X now contains whey (100% casein-free) to promote healthy body composition, immune function, and detoxification.
CHROMIUM AND VANADIUM Chromium is essential for the production of the endogenous compound glucose tolerance factor which aids cellular uptake of glucose via the activity of insulin. Clinical trials have shown that increased intake of chromium supports healthy blood sugar activity as well as may reduce carbohydrate cravings. Vanadium has also been shown to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism.
L-TYROSINE, IODINE, AND SELENIUM are all essential components of thyroid hormone production. Supporting thyroid activity is essential for overall healthy metabolic function.
L-GLUTAMINE is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is essential for overall health. L-glutamine is also the primary fuel source for intestinal absorptive cells and therefore supports their healthy regeneration. Supporting the health of the intestinal lining is crucial to reducing intestinal hyperpermeability or leaky gut, a condition which promotes a high antigenic load, systemic toxicity, and inflammation.
BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (LEUCINE, ISOLEUCINE, VALINE) have been demonstrated to increase protein synthesis for healthy body composition.
AMERICAN GINSENG, PANTOTHENATE, AND PYRIDOXINE 5’ PHOSPHATE all support proper functioning of the adrenal cortex. Stress has the ability to alter cortisol levels, leading to alterations in serum blood glucose control and overall metabolism. Adaptogenic herbs, such as American ginseng, along with B vitamins have been shown to have positive effects on serum cortisol homeostasis, therefore supporting healthy catecholamine levels and metabolic activity.
ANTIOXIDANTS Free radical damage is a common component of conditions related to poor blood sugar control. Grape seed extract, ginkgo, mixed carotenoids, coenzyme Q10, selenium, gamma-oryzanol, and vitamins C and E all have powerful, protective antioxidant functions. Reducing free radical damage promotes normalization of cellular activity and healthy aging.
LECITHIN, CHOLINE, AND INOSITOL all promote healthy cell membranes. Cell membrane health is essential for neurological function and overall body communication. ... Click here to continue reading |
