Contains cinnamon and chromium to improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. Withania Somnifera provides stress support and cortisol balancing, also necessary for good blood sugar control. Other herbal extracts such as green tea extract, green coffee bean extract, and garcinia cambogia work to directly boost metabolism and aid in the maintenance of a healthy weight. Metabolic syndrome has become one of the most common concerns in North America today, even among children and adolescents. The implications for long-term health and quality of life are vast. Metabolism Matrix offsets these concerns by providing support for insulin, blood sugar, cortisol, and weight management. Both cinnamon and chromium are included to aid in blood sugar regulation. Cinnamon acts as an insulin mimetic, decreasing sugar absorption and reducing blood sugar spikes, while chromium works to increase receptor sensitivity to insulin. 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 raising 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 by inducing metabolism. Garcinia cambogia and its hydroxycitric acid content fuel weight loss and can 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 thought to be due to the high chlorogenic acid content of 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.
