Metabolicare® is a food supplement that contains a standardized extract of bergamot (Vazguard®) formulated with Fitosoma® technology, which increases the absorption and bioavailability of polyphenols, together with a chromium-enriched yeast (NutraFeast®). Bergamot
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso & Poit.) is a citrus hybrid between bitter orange and lemon, native to tropical Asia, but for centuries it has been cultivated in the Calabria region of Italy.
It is a small 5-meter tree belonging to the Rutaceae family, with large dark green ovate leaves similar to those of a lemon, fragrant white star-shaped flowers and round greenish-yellow fruits. The peel of the pear-shaped fruit contains the essential oils and other bioactive components, while the juice contains a unique pattern of polyphenols, especially a class of flavonoids called flavanones.
The bergamot extract (Vazguard®) comes exclusively from the fruits of crops located in the Calabria area (southern Italy). What does the Fitosoma® patented formula consist of?
Bergamot polyphenols are poorly absorbed in the intestine, so it is important to incorporate a formulation that increases their bioavailability.
Fitosoma® technology follows a patented method whereby individual components of a plant extract are coated with a phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylserine). The human body recognizes these phospholipids as nutrients and allows the active ingredients of plants to naturally cross cell membranes, optimizing their absorption.
In a simple way: Fitosoma® Technology mimics the natural process of nutrient absorption, to bring an active ingredient from the plant into the cell.
Chromium enriched yeast
Chromium-enriched yeast (NutraFeast®) is a high-quality option. The same type of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) used to make beer, bread, or kombucha is used, but with a different end product. It is a primary culture yeast, meaning that it is grown specifically for its nutritional value and not as a by-product. The main difference between baker's yeast is that nutritional or fortified yeast is inactive, so it has no ability to grow in the body. Its natural fermentation process is free of candida or other bacteria.
Chromium-enriched yeast offers organic forms of this mineral, which are better absorbed than inorganic forms (chloride and picolinate). A commitment to product quality and purity
Chromium-enriched yeast (NutraFeast®) uses a non-transgenic yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that is mixed with a mineral salt (chromium) after fermentation. The highest quality wet blending process is used to maximize the consistency of mineral potency in each batch.
Metabolicare® fully respects the nature of the ingredients, naturally enhancing their absorption and therefore their effectiveness in our body, creating a product of high quality, tolerability and safety. How can Metabolicare® help us?
Bergamot extract (Vazguard®) has a unique pattern of polyphenols, especially flavonoids (flavanones), which occur naturally in its juice and have documented health benefits in clinical trials. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal glucose levels in blood. Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients.
