Scientific Information/Data
OptiMetaboliX™ is an exclusive combination of well-researched, clinically validated, and highly bioavailable ingredients that provides multimodal support for healthy insulin and glucose metabolism and related pathways. It features InSea2®—an optimized blend of purified polyphenols from wild-crafted brown seaweed. InSea2 uniquely slows carbohydrate digestion and assimilation and can reduce the impact of high-glycemic foods. This newly developed, next generation dual carb controller is 100% natural, has an excellent safety profile, and is friendly to the gastrointestinal tract.*
OptiMetaboliX also delivers other innovative ingredients, including VegaPro™—a proprietary sugar-free, sweetener-free, low-allergy-potential source of vegetable protein from pea protein and rice protein—and CinSulin®, a patented water extract of cinnamon with a potent 10:1 yield ratio. Cinnamon has been studied extensively for its roles in supporting healthy glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and insulin action, along with maintaining blood lipids already within the normal range. These principal ingredients are complemented by the inclusion of benfotiamine to boost transketolase activity; alpha-lipoic acid; green tea leaf extract; vanadium, chromium, and zinc as Albion® TRAACS® chelates; 5-MTHF (bioactive folate) as Quatrefolic®; fiber from inulin; and other key vitamins and minerals.*
To avoid the use of added sugar and the aftertaste of stevia, OptiMetaboliX is sweetened with monk fruit.
