Description

Metabol-X is a complete functional food product designed to help provide comprehensive nutritional support for efficient cellular energy metabolism, healthy blood sugar control, and optimal insulin performance. It contains a macronutrient profile that has a favorable protein to carbohydrate ratio to serve as a glycemic-friendly meapl or snack, a full multivitamin and mineral core, and a blend of specialty nutrients to help with glycemic control and energy production. CLINICAL OBJECTIVES OF METABOL-X: MACRONUTRIENT BALANCING: A favorable protein to carbohydrate ratio is maintained to promote consistent glucose and insulin control, favorable eicosanoid balance, and reduced inflammation. High fiber content is present in order to slow glucose absorption, improve the lipid profile, and optimize colonic function. (Protein 14 gm [rice], Net Carbohydrates 6 gm, Fiber 7 gm, Fat 2.5 gm) FULL MULTIVITAMIN & MINERAL: A full spectrum of vitamins and minerals are provided to aid in the metabolism of macronutrients and to support the enzyme and receptor functions critical to maintaining proper glycemic control and energy production. GLUCOSE & INSULIN CONTROL: In addition to the favorable protein to carbohydrate ratio in Metabol-X, a host of micronutrients and herbs have been included to help balance blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity, such as chromium, vanadium, magnesium, fennugreek, alpha-lipoic acid, fiber, and a full spectrum of B-vitamins. ADRENAL SUPPORT & CORTISOL BALANCE: Herbal adaptogens and key nutrients have been included in order to help the body’s adaptation to stress and to support in addition to causing the depletion of a host of micronutrients. Increased cotisol has negative effects over serum blood glucose control and, therefore, insulin levels. Metabol-X contains American ginseng, L-tyrosine, and vitamins C, B5, and B6 in order to promote proper homeostasis of serum cortisol, aid in the production and replenishment of depleted catacholamines, support adrenal cortical health, and replete common nutritional deficiencies that can result from chronic stress. Branched chain amino acids, such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine have been demonstrated to increase protein synthesis, improve body composition, and reduce the catabolic effects of chronic stress. Gamma-oryzanol, as a source of ferulic acid, has been shown to have ergogenic effects, improve body composition, and promote healthy hypothalamic-pituitary function and catacholamine balance. THYROID SUPPORT: L-tyrosine, iodine, selenium, and beta-carotene have been included in Metabol-X in order to promote proper thyroid hormone production, efficient thyroid hormone conversion, and optimal peripheral hormone receptor function in order to improve overall metabolism and reduce fatigue. ENERGY SUPPORT & FATIGUE REDUCTION: Critical energy metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, Kreb’s cycle, and the electron transport chain, are supported by providing the necessary nutrients such as magnesium, malic acid, NADH, Co-Q10, L-carnitine, and inositol. This support of the efficient burning of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats may promote optimal ATP production, resulting in less fatigue and increased vitality. Gamma-oryzanol may reduce post-exercise fatigue and improve exercise tolerance. The presence of iron, copper, folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 promotes proper red blood cell production and can protect against anemia, a common reason for a lack of energy and complaints of fatigue. DETOXIFICATION: Proper hepatic function results in the optimal removal of toxins from the body, which may result in the reduction of total oxidative stress, more efficient mitochondrial function, increased energy and vitality, and the improvement of a myriad of vague symptoms experienced by those with increased total toxic burdens. Sodium sulfate, molybdenum, various antioxidants, and a full spectrum of B-vitamins are included to support proper phase I and phase II pathways of hepatic detoxification. INTESTINAL SUPPORT: Poor intestinal health can lead to increased mucosal permeability and an elevated toxic and antigenic load. New literature is suggesting that up-regulation of the innate immune system, and the resulting increase in inflammatory mediators, can contribute significantly to disorders such as metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Nutrients such as L-glutamine, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, and zinc, help promote a healthy intestinal lining, reducing toxicity, oxidative stress, and allergenicity. ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT: Grape seed extract, ginkgo, beta-carotene, mixed carotenoids, vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium, gamma-oryzanol, and others, are provided for protection against the free radical damage that is a prominent feature of poor blood sugar and insulin control. Ginkgo also has the added benefit of a mild anti-coagulant effect and the promotion of increased cerebral oxygenation. NEUROLOGICAL SUPPORT: Peripheral neuropathy and CNS degeneration are common complications of poor blood sugar and insulin control. The inclusion of neuro-protective substances, such as: vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12, choline, inositol, and the branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine, may provide protection against this devastating neuro-degeneration. 5-HTP is also included for neurotransmitter support.
