Regulating blood sugar (the most famous effect) Insulin simulation: The polypeptide P can act on cells like insulin, promoting the uptake and utilization of glucose
Reduce sugar absorption: Inhibit the activity of glycosidase in the intestinal tract, reducing the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose and their absorption.
Promote glycogen synthesis: Enhance glycogen synthesis in the liver and muscles to store excess glucose.
Protecting pancreatic β cells: The antioxidant effect helps protect pancreatic cells that produce insulin.
Applicable population: It has a positive auxiliary management effect on patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
Assist in weight loss
Bitter gourd extract is a natural AMPK activator. AMPK is known as the "metabolic master switch". Once activated, it can promote fat burning, inhibit fat synthesis, and increase the energy metabolism of cells.
Inhibiting adipocyte differentiation: Certain components can prevent precursor adipocytes from transforming into mature adipocytes.
Increase satiety: Rich in dietary fiber, it helps control appetite.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
The various antioxidants it contains can effectively eliminate free radicals, reduce the damage of oxidative stress to the body, thereby delaying cell aging and preventing chronic inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and fatty liver.
