This blend of four natural active ingredients is formulated to help support healthy blood glucose (blood sugar) levels in those already within normal range and metabolic wellness. It begins with iodine, a trace element involved in the production of T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine), two thyroid hormones primarily responsible for regulating metabolism.10-12
Chromium is a critical micronutrient recognized for its vital role in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal range when used as part of a healthy diet.13-17
Phase 3™ Sucrase Inhibitor is an L-Arabinose and Chromium GlycoProtein Complex. Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose to fructose and glucose in the digestive tract for absorption into the bloodstream. Phase 3™ contains a phytonutrient called L-Arabinose that affects sucrase digestion and works synergistically with chromium to support healthy blood sugar and insulin levels in those already within normal range.66
The Alpha-Glucosidase Enzyme
Another intestinal enzyme that enables carbohydrate absorption is alpha-glucosidase. A patented seaweed extract (InSea2®) has demonstrated the ability to help maintain healthy levels of both alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase. When given to laboratory animals, this seaweed extract reduced after-meal (postprandial) glucose elevations by up to 90% compared with non-supplemented animals.63
