Vitacost Vitacost, Salacia Oblonga Extract, 500 mg, 120 Capsules

Description Promotes Healthy Glucose Metabolism Targeted Wellness Potency - Purity - Pride Herbal Supplement What is Salacia Oblonga extract? Salacia oblonga is a climbing plant that grows in India and Sri Lanka, used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine. Salacia oblonga contains two key constituents—salacinol and kotalanol—which are believed to be responsible for the plant’s beneficial effects on alpha-glucosidase intestinal enzymes. These enzymes turn carbohydrates into glucose (sugar). If the intestinal enzymes bind to the herbal extract rather than to carbohydrates, less glucose enters the bloodstream. What are the key benefits of Vitacost® Salacia Oblonga Extract? When used as part of your diet, Salacia oblonga may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Improves glycemic response after consumption of starch-containing meals. May promote cardiovascular health.
