FENUSOL^®

(Fenugreek fibres)

Controls Diabetes and Cholosterol

• The fiber contains galactomannan, which is composed of a mannose backbone with galactose molecules attached.
• It delays sugar absorption and also improves the insulin response to meals.
• It delays the rate of gastric emptying and slow carbohydrate absorption. This is attributed to the gel fraction which increases the viscosity of the digesta.
• The hypocholesterolaemic effect in it has been attributed to increased conversion of hepatic cholesterol to bile salts.
• Viscous mucilaginous fiber binds with bile acids causing reduction in cholesterol and fat absorption.
• Galactomannans also influence gastrointestinal hormones secretions, thereby increasing the activity of a number of key enzymes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
