Weight & Metabolism

Functional blends and single preparations to support normal blood sugar levels (chromium) and fat and cholesterol metabolism (choline and oat beta-glucans). Metabol Active Complex is a functional blend containing 6 important nutrients and phytochemicals to support the regulation of blood sugar (chromium) and fat metabolism (choline). Blood Sugar Regulator is a more comprehensive blend with an unrivalled spectrum of valuable phytochemicals and extracts (including oat beta-glucans, which contribute to the maintainance of normal cholesterol levels), developed with nutrition expert Dr. Manuela Hanke.

Lipid metabolism, also known as fat metabolism, is the process by which fats (lipids) and lipid-like substances are absorbed from food and processed within the body. Lipid metabolism comprises the digestion, absorption, transport, utilisation and storage of fats.

Fasting refers to the complete or partial, conscious abstaining from all or specific foods and indulgences for a limited period. Typically, fasting is practiced through regimens lasting one or more days and is intended to cleanse the body.

Awareness of our own body, a healthy weight and a balanced lifestyle are issues that we face every day. A holistic approach to appetite, weight and metabolism includes conscious nutrition and general wellbeing. Plant-based products such as konjac glucomannan contribute to weight loss as part of a low-calorie diet. Key nutrients such as choline and zinc contribute to normal fat metabolism; vitamin B6 contributes to protein and glycogen metabolism; and zinc contributes to carbohydrate metabolism.

Persistent irregularities in metabolic function can be accompanied by fatigue, exhaustion and intolerances. Targeted and mindful supplementation, for example of vitamin B6, zinc and manganese, can compensate for possible losses of essential micronutrients. Vitamin B6 supports the nervous system, psyche and hormonal activity; zinc supports fat and carbohydrate metabolism as well as the protection of cells from oxidative stress; and manganese plays a role in energy metabolism.

The acid–base balance is influenced by many factors, including states of tension and stress, as well as a diet rich in sugar, animal fats and proteins. For healthy metabolic function, a pH of 7.4 is optimal. Supplementing with suitable micronutrients can provide natural support; zinc, for example, contributes to a normal acid–base metabolism, while magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
