ARTICHOKE It is a plant with antioxidant, hepatoprotective, choleretic and antilipemic properties. Thanks to the presence of chlorogenic acid, it stimulates the production and secretion of bile in the liver, promoting the digestion of fats, which is important to keep cholesterol at normal levels in the blood. Furthermore, thanks to its antioxidant properties, it protects the liver from toxin damage.

ZINC It is a cofactor in many metabolic reactions, including the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Furthermore, it intervenes in the correct functioning of the thyroid, insulin and sexual hormones.

MILK THISTLE It represents one of the most famous natural remedies for purifying the liver, thanks to its power to inhibit the formation of toxins that could cause liver damage. Furthermore, it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and contributes to carbohydrate metabolism.

CHROMIUM It is an essential element involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and it is combined with picolinic acid to improve its absorption. The properties of chrome are well known among diabetics due to the potential ability of this micronutrient to increase insulin sensitivity, thus improving glucose tolerance. Scientific institutions have expressed positive opinions on the usefulness of chromium integration in the treatment of patients suffering from type two diabetes mellitus, admitting that this practice is capable of bringing benefits to patients. Furthermore, it has recently been shown that chromium is able to improve body composition by helping to maintain lean mass; this is because greater insulin action would favor the rate of absorption of glucose and amino acids into muscle cells.

GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE Gymnema sylvestre is a climbing plant widespread in tropical areas, a source of gymnemic acids which contributes to the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and to the control of the sense of hunger. Several studies have shown that gymnemic acids act on the glucose receptor in the intestine, reversibly blocking it and consequently reducing the absorption of sugars. Furthermore, Gymnema is useful for reducing body weight and blood lipid values. The hypoglycemic properties make the extract useful in the treatment of non-insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus.
