Both cinnamon and chromium are included to help regulate blood sugar. Cinnamon acts as an insulin mimetic, decreasing sugar absorption and reducing blood sugar spikes, while chromium works to increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors. Withania somnifera, also known as ashwagandha, also regulates blood sugar levels, but through a rather different mechanism. Ashwagandha is useful for stress management due to its modulation of cortisol, a hormone directly responsible for increasing blood sugar levels. Additionally, ashwagandha is beneficial in curbing unhealthy food cravings and poor coping patterns that we often gravitate toward during times of stress.
Various herbs are also incorporated into Metabolism Matrix to directly aid weight loss efforts. Research has shown that green tea extract and its active ingredients, known as catechins, aid in weight management through metabolism induction. Garcinia cambogia and its hydroxycitric acid content fuel weight loss and may also decrease appetite and food intake. Finally, green coffee bean extract has been found to stimulate weight loss, reduce homocysteine levels, and lower blood pressure in overweight individuals. These effects are believed to be due to the high chlorogenic acid content in green coffee beans.
While there is certainly no substitute for a balanced diet and moderate exercise, Metabolism Matrix helps support the hormones involved in metabolism and weight management, acting as an effective complement to a healthy lifestyle.
