Metabolic Modulator
128 grams
Item Catalog Number: 985

Modern food processing "denatures" whole grain foods such as flour, cereals, and bread, stripping them of their beta-glucans and cytokinins.

Countless studies show these natural food components play a vital role in maintaining already healthy blood sugar levels, body weight, and cardiovascular function.

The new Metabolic Modulator provides missing constituents naturally found in oats and barley. The result is a neutral-tasting, easy to mix soluble fiber that can help modulate after-meal blood sugar effects, along with the insulin response to a meal containing carbohydrates.1-3

The beta-glucan in Metabolic Modulator slows the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream, thereby helping to maintain already healthy levels of after-meal blood glucose (sugar) and insulin that promote fat gain and contribute to a host of degenerative problems.

The natural cytokinins found in Metabolic Modulator help promote cardiovascular health by keeping cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and even harmful C-reactive protein within already healthy levels. Unlike store-bought barley, this patented powder is specially concentrated using a process that precisely controls the malting and sprouting of the barley to yield a product that is exceptionally rich in the bioactive cytokinin compounds.

Adding a serving of Metabolic Modulator once or twice daily to your food or beverage is a perfect way to help modulate blood glucose and optimize your health.
