Effective nature-based innovation for effective catechin bioabsorption

Posted on by Mike Miller

GreenSelect® Phytosome™, with its high concentration of EGCG, becomes a powerful catalyst for metabolism. This antioxidant-rich ingredient aids in fat oxidation, supporting a more efficient and accelerated weight-loss process.

The Phytosome™ system allows the absorption of polyphenols, which are poorly soluble in water and organic solvents. In clinical studies the GreenSelect® Phytosome™ group over a 90-day test period improved their BMI by 12%, compared to the control group with an improvement of 5%. Because of the physiological changes that occur with menopause, studies support GreenSelect® Phytosome™ is particularly  effective in postmenopausal women.The effectiveness of bioabsorption was also demonstrated in a single dose of 240mg of tea catechins. The group with GreenSelect® Phytosome™ had more than double the plasma EGCG concentration than the control group.

Obesity is Killing Us

Posted on by Mike Miller

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 2.8 million individuals die every year as a result of obesity.1 Shockingly, a study presented at the Society of General Internal Medicine reported that obesity has caused 47% more life-years lost than tobacco.2 In addition to loss of life, over 115 million individuals are suffering from obesity-related diseases, such as: hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, low quality of life, body pain, depression, anxiety and mental illness.3 Obesity is killing us!

Because of increasing obesity rates in developing countries, the weight-loss and weight management industry continues to be growing. Research studies support an efficacious weight-loss system that includes gut health, proteins, and metabolic enhancement will produce better results than diet and exercise alone. A healthy combination of nutrition, fitness enhancement, and digestive health is more effective at producing long-term results and improved health. Providing a healthy system may be a way to capture the growing weight-loss supplement segment, which is projected to grow at 22.5% CAGR to 2028. 

Plant Science continues to advance product development for efficacious health and well-being. Studies are demonstrating weight loss and management are fundamental to health. Our scientists are ready to develop custom formulations for your consumers.

PI2 is a natural appetite suppressant

Posted on by Mike Miller

The active molecule in Slendesta is a well-studied protein called Proteinase Inhibitor II (PI2). PI2 works by promoting and extending the body’s natural release of cholecystokinin (CCK), a powerful peptide that signals key organs, including the stomach and brain, to induce feelings of fullness.

Researchers have discovered russet potatoes have naturally occurring higher levels of P12. Slendesta®, is a clinically tested natural and tested potent ingredient derived from natural potatoes. Clinical studies support this peptide as a game-changer in the realm of weight loss by offering a unique solution to the perennial challenge of controlling appetite. Its key mechanism lies in the activation of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone that signals fullness to the brain. By promoting the release of CCK, Slendesta® can induce a profound sense of satiety, and can also help by curbing hunger pangs and reducing the temptation to overeat. This natural approach to appetite control makes Slendesta® an invaluable component in weight management strategies, empowering individuals to make sustainable lifestyle choices by fostering a feeling of fullness that lasts beyond mealtimes. With its ability to support portion control and minimize unnecessary snacking, Slendesta® plays a pivotal role in creating a more balanced and mindful approach to eating, facilitating a healthier and more sustainable weight loss journey.
