Corosolin^®

( Banaba leaf extract - Lagerstroemia speciosa)

A Natural Approach to Lowering Blood Sugar

• Corosolic acid activates the transport of glucose across cell membranes, resulting in blood sugar reductions.
• Can be administered orally and has no side effects as opposed to insulin.
• Corosolic acid is clinically proven to activate cell glucose-transporter “shuttles” and thus helps balance blood glucose levels.
• Shows a memory effect of blood glucose lowering even after the treatment is stopped.

• Also used as a treatment for mouth ulcers and abdominal pain.

Promotes Weight Loss

• The way in which Banaba binds and transports glucose can promote weight loss.
• The corosolic acid acts by delaying and reducing the absorption of carbohydrates by the body.
• Hence is a safe and popular ingredient in weight loss nutritional supplements (fat burners) and products fordetoxifying the body (detox).

• Delivers antioxidant activity as strong as Vitamin E, which can protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation by scavenging free radicals.
