Science overview

Clinically proven blood sugar management benefits

Metavive offers an alternative to conventional starch blockers because it supports healthy glucose and insulin levels by targeting a final stage of carbohydrate digestion. How? It inhibits alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme that plays a key role at the final stages of digestion of carbohydrate and simple sugars:

  • Decreasing glucose absorption
    A dose-response clinical study showed that Metavive blunted glucose and insulin responses with significant differences observed for insulin vs. the placebo.
  • Reduction in blood sugar spikes and satiety support
    A follow-up randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover study showed that Metavive significantly reduced glucose and insulin levels after a meal. Appetite was also significantly reduced in females.

 

Sugar consumption may lead to a vicious cycle of overeating and snacking, causing spikes in insulin which is linked to suppressing satiety. Our clinical studies show that just 300 mg per day of Metavive supports satiety and metabolic health.

That’s 27 cubes of sugar per day, and almost 10,000 cubes per year! Sugar consumption may lead to a vicious cycle of overeating and snacking, causing spikes in insulin, which is linked to suppressing satiety. Did you know:
