Science & Research
Our formulation is based on current scientific understanding of botanical ingredients and their role in metabolic wellness.
Our Approach to Science
We believe in evidence-based formulation. Our ingredients are selected based on current scientific research and traditional use, with a commitment to transparency about what the research shows—and what it doesn't.
We don't overstate the evidence or make claims that go beyond what the research supports. Instead, we provide honest, accurate information to help you make informed decisions.
Research in this field is ongoing, and we stay informed about emerging studies while maintaining a commitment to evidence-based formulation.
Key Research Areas
Cinnamon & Glucose Metabolism
Research has explored cinnamon's potential role in supporting healthy glucose metabolism. Studies suggest certain compounds in cinnamon may influence glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
Note: Research is ongoing, and results vary across studies.
Chromium & Macronutrient Metabolism
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in macronutrient metabolism. Research has examined its potential to support healthy blood sugar levels already within normal range.
Note: Chromium is recognized as contributing to normal macronutrient metabolism.
Berberine & Metabolic Support
Berberine is a compound found in several plants. Research has investigated its potential effects on metabolic pathways, including glucose and lipid metabolism.
Note: Research is ongoing, and more studies are needed to fully understand its effects.
Alpha Lipoic Acid & Antioxidant Support
Alpha lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble antioxidant. Research has explored its role in cellular health and its potential to support metabolic function.
Note: Research is ongoing, and individual responses may vary.
Traditional Botanical Use
Gymnema Sylvestre
Used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, Gymnema Sylvestre has been studied for its potential role in supporting metabolic wellness.
Banaba Leaf
Banaba leaf has a history of traditional use in Southeast Asian medicine. Research has examined compounds in banaba for their potential metabolic effects.
Bitter Melon
Bitter melon has been used in various traditional medicine systems. Modern research has explored its potential role in supporting metabolic health.
Understanding Research Limitations
It's important to understand the limitations of current research:
- • Study Quality Varies: Not all studies are of equal quality. We prioritize research from peer-reviewed journals.
- • Sample Sizes: Many studies have small sample sizes, which can limit the generalizability of results.
- • Individual Variation: What works in a study may not work the same way for every individual.
- • Dose Differences: Studies often use different doses and formulations than commercial products.
- • Ongoing Research: This is an active area of research, and our understanding continues to evolve.
- • Not a Substitute: Research on supplements does not replace the need for medical treatment when indicated.
What the Research Shows
Evidence Levels
Different ingredients have different levels of evidence supporting their use:
Stronger Evidence
Some ingredients, like chromium, have more extensive research supporting their role in metabolic wellness.
Emerging Evidence
Other ingredients, like berberine and certain botanicals, have promising but less extensive research.
Traditional Use
Some ingredients have a long history of traditional use, which informs their inclusion even as modern research continues.
Our Formulation Philosophy
We combine ingredients with varying levels of evidence to create a comprehensive formula:
- • We prioritize ingredients with stronger scientific evidence
- • We include traditionally used botanicals with emerging research
- • We use evidence-based dosing when available
- • We are transparent about the strength of evidence for each ingredient
Future Research Directions
Research in this field continues to evolve. Areas of ongoing investigation include:
- • Mechanisms of action for various botanical compounds
- • Optimal dosing strategies for different ingredients
- • Long-term safety and efficacy data
- • Interactions between different ingredients
- • Individual factors that influence response to supplements
- • Comparative effectiveness of different formulations
We stay informed about emerging research and may update our formulation as new evidence becomes available.
