Natural GLP-1, Abscisic Acid From Fig

1. Blood sugar is behind weight loss

Sugar is everywhere in our diet, such as staple food, fruit, cake, beverage, etc. The human body needs a lot of sugar every day to provide energy and power the normal operation of various tissues and organs.

However, when too much sugar is consumed, the body cannot consume it all in time. Part of the sugar will be converted into fat and stored under the action of insulin. Over time, various parts of the body such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc. will have more and more fat, and the weight will begin to climb uncontrollably.

Not only that, high-sugar foods often make people have a strong appetite. After eating a piece of cake, they always want to eat something else, falling into a vicious cycle of eating more and more, which makes the calorie intake far exceed the body's consumption, further aggravating the problem.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone mainly produced by intestinal cells. It belongs to the incretin hormone and plays an important role in regulating glucose homeostasis and other physiological processes. GLP-1 can relatively mildly control appetite and increase basal metabolic rate, but it also has many risks, such as causing gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and other problems. Many companies are currently exploring natural GLP-1. Among them, abscisic acid deserves attention.

2. Abscisic acid and GLP-1

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that also exists in animals and is active.

Research data show that abscisic acid (ABA) can affect the release of GLP-1 from intestinal L cells through LANCL2 (lanthionine synthase C-like protein 2) mediated by the cAMP mechanism.

The characteristic of ABA is that it can cleverly regulate the body's own physiological functions, allowing the body to naturally produce GLP-1. It has a good maintenance effect on blood sugar health and can also manage appetite, providing people with a safe health management option that conforms to the body's natural physiological state.

3. ABAlife® Fig Extract

Figs are native to the Mediterranean coast and were introduced to China from Persia during the Han Dynasty. They are a highly nutritious and valuable fruit. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that figs are "sweet, mild, and non-toxic. They can treat hemorrhoids and sore throats."

Modern research has found that in addition to being rich in common nutrients, figs also contain abscisic acid (ABA)

ABAlife® fig extract comes from the Spanish company Euromed. The raw materials are grown and produced in strict accordance with European Pharmacopoeia standards, and the entire process is sustainable and traceable.

In terms of technology, ABAlife® fig extract is extracted using the Pure-Hydro Process® patented ultrapure water (invention patent EP1967079). The production process strictly follows the PhytoProof® quality control system to standardize the abscisic acid content. This ensures the safety of organic solvents, pesticides, toxic substances, and chemical residues, and effectively retains ABA (abscisic acid) and other natural healthy substances in figs.

For ABAlife®, EUROMED has applied for and published relevant clinical literature and intellectual property protection (invention patent EP1986624: Method of using abscisic acid to treat and prevent diseases and disorders) to provide customers with more professional scientific support.

In terms of application, ABAlife® fig extract has a wide range of process applicability and can more flexibly adapt to customer product and dosage form innovations.

Due to ABAllife®'s cutting-edge research results and good process applicability, it is widely recognized in the international market. Products containing ABAlife® also have good sales and consumer recognition in the relevant health function market. Many brands have launched products containing this ingredient, such as Carotec, Organic Garden, etc.
