Pterosin® - C-glycosides for diabete management
The number of consumers impacted by diabetes is growing at an alarming pace.
Sabinsa offers numerous natural extracts for healthy blood sugar management that are scientifically backed for safety and efficacy. Silbinol may have insulin like effects because of the pterostilbene present in the Pterocarpus marsupium, an active herbal component of the formula. As a result, Silbinol may help suppress hepatic gluconeogenesis, stimulate glycolysis and inhibit glucose absorption from the intestine.
A newly introduced ingredient Pterosin “has C-glucosides, the newest types of anti-diabetic compounds now gaining popularity". C-glycosides prevent re-absorption of glucose from the urine back into the blood.
Pterosin is a water extract.
Pterocarpus - Or Malabar kino, Indian kino tree, or vijayasar
Pterocarpus marsupium (= Kino de Malabar = Indian Kino) is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as one of the most important ingredients in preparations for managing diabetes. Since ancient times, Ayurvedacharyas have used pieces of bark of Pterocarpus to manage diabetes. Its different parts have been used in cosmetic preparations aimed at soothing dry irritated and scaly skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles, and in nutrition to support normal blood physiology, promote urinary tract health, support weight management and support healthy cholesterol levels.
Pterostilbene - a stilbenoid, defensive phytoalexin in plants - is the most important bioactive.
Pterocarpus marsupium is considered in the endangered species category by the World Conservation Monitoring Center. The alarm has been sensed by Sami-Sabinsa group which, to act accordingly, launched a reforestation project. The group has committed to fund about $ 500,000 for this 10-year reforestation project, which it claims is the first initiative to conserve this high-value, multipurpose, threatened species in India. The project earned the Nutra-Ingredients-USA Editors Award for Industry Initiative of the Year for 2018.
