Belinal® is Very Potent Natural Ingredient for Weight Management, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity.
Weight Management
While carbohydrates are important for health, they can also affect your weight in different ways. The amount, type and timing of carbohydrate intake can influence your blood sugar levels, insulin response, hunger, satiety and metabolism.
When you eat more carbohydrates than your body needs, the excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, or as fat in the adipose tissue. This can lead to weight gain over time, especially if you consume refined or processed carbohydrates that are high in calories, low in fiber and nutrients, and spike your blood sugar quickly.
On the other hand, reducing the amount of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, etc.) in your diet is one of the best ways to lose weight. There are many studies showing that low-carbohydrate diets are more effective and healthier than the low-fat diet that is still recommended all around the world.
Studies show that low carbohydrate diets reduce your appetite and make you eat less calories and lose weight pretty much effortlessly as long as you manage to keep the carbohydrates down.
Clinical Study Belinal Reduces Glucose by 35% After a Meal
Proprietary placebo controlled clinical study with 31 healthy adults proved that Belinal® administered before carbohydrate meal reduces glycaemic index of a meal by 35% and so contributing to the control of the body weight. Belinal® reduces the postprandial glycemia induced by starchy meal by 35%!
Animal Study Results – Weight Loss by 13% in 8 Weeks
Belinal® has been proven to be a very potent ingredient for weight management in both animal and human studies. In an 8-week animal study, three groups of guinea pigs had unlimited access to water and one of the following feeds:
- Healthy basic diet
- Atherogenic diet (basic diet with yolk, lard, fructose and cholesterol)
- Atherogenic diet supplemented with Belinal®
The final body weight of the animals after 8 weeks decreased by 13%
- 923 g in basic diet group
- 1.049 g in atherogenic diet group
- 923 g in atherogenic diet group supplemented with Belinal®
Similar to humans, guinea pigs store most of their blood cholesterol in LDL form, pose similar enzymes associated with cholesterol synthesis and are highly sensitive to dietary lipid intake. The results of body weight demonstrate that Belinal® prevented the weight gain and fat accumulation caused by the atherogenic diet, and maintained the same body weight as the basic diet group.
The starch digestion blocking effect of Belinal® is beneficial for:
- Helping you manage your body weight by reducing the amount of calories and fat that are absorbed from your meals
- Making you feel less tired and more energetic after eating a meal by avoiding the blood sugar spikes and crashes that can cause fatigue and mood swings
- Helping you maintain a healthy glucose level by preventing the excessive rise and fall of blood sugar that can lead to diabetes and other metabolic disorders
- Lowering the glycemic index of your meal by slowing down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, which can improve your blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
