Active benefits under research

• Reduces Appetite: Acts on the brain’s appetite centers to make you feel full and reduce food cravings.
• Slows Gastric Emptying: Food moves more slowly from the stomach to the intestines, promoting a prolonged feeling of fullness.
• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high, which improves glucose control.
• Suppresses Glucagon: Reduces the liver’s production of sugar.
• Increases Energy Expenditure: Glucagon signals the liver to break down stored energy (glycogen and fat), which can increase metabolic rate and calorie burning.
• Improves Lipid Metabolism: Helps reduce liver fat and improve cholesterol levels.
• Potential Satiety Effect: May also contribute to feelings of fullness.
