People
who take extraordinary steps to limit their carbohydrate exposure may
still be experiencing higher-than-desired blood sugar levels throughout
the day.
Studies
show even in people with normal fasting glucose levels, gaining control
of after-meal surges may provide additional support for cardiovascular
and metabolic health.
Green
coffee extract is a natural compound that addresses this widespread
problem. In fact, a 400 mg dose was shown to induce a remarkable 24%
drop in after-meal blood sugar after 30 minutes while 200 mg generated
a 14% drop!The
reason is chlorogenic acid, a polyphenol found in the green coffee bean.
Chlorogenic
acid has been shown to inhibit excess activity of glucose-6-phosphatase.The
glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme triggers glucose formation from
non-carbohydrate substrates and glycogen release from the liver, both
of which can create excess glucose in the blood. Neutralizing excess
glucose-6-phosphatase is essential for most people to achieve optimal
glucose control.
Another
means by which chlorogenic acid supports healthy after-meal glucose
levels is by targeting the inhibition of thealpha-glucosidaseenzyme.
This intestinal enzyme breaks apart complex sugars and enhances their
absorption into the bloodstream.
Chlorogenic
acid also increases the signal protein for insulin receptors in liver
cells.
Why
CoffeeGenic® Green Coffee Extract?
Coffee
grows on trees and the fruit is a berry. The berry contains green
seeds, which are the “coffee beans.” The outer part of the berry is
washed away to get to the seeds. The seed has a higher amount of
phenolic acids than the berry.
The
problem with the roasted coffee you drink is that much of the
beneficial phenolic content of the coffee beans is destroyed during the
roasting process.
CoffeeGenic®
Green Coffee Extract is produced from these green coffee beans. The
resulting green coffee extract is standardized to 50% chlorogenic acids
for maximum potency … maximum effect in helping to maintain healthy
glucose levels already within normal range.
This
higher potency standalone version is the same clinical dose shown to
induce a 24% drop in after-meal glucose spikes within 30 minutes… and
is ideal for those who need additional glucose management support.
