What is Cyanotis Extract?
Derived from the medicinal plant Cyanotis arachnoidea, this extract is rich in β-ecdysterone, flavonoid C-glycosides, and polysaccharides. Using supercritical CO₂ extraction, it preserves key compounds for glucose metabolism regulation, offering a natural option for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes management.
Key Components & Mechanisms
β-Ecdysterone
Insulin Sensitivity: Activates PPARγ, boosting glucose uptake (50%↑ GLUT4)
Glycogen Storage: Enhances liver/muscle glycogen (lowers fasting glucose by 1.5-2.0mmol/L)
Pancreatic Protection: Reduces β-cell oxidative damage (40%↓ MDA)
Flavonoid C-glycosides
Carb Blockade: Inhibits α-glucosidase (25-30%↓ post-meal spikes)
Microcirculation: Increases muscle capillaries (20%↑)
Gut Health: Promotes Akkermansia growth (3-4×)
Polysaccharides
Anti-inflammatory: Lowers TNF-α/IL-6 (30%↓)
Liver Support: Suppresses PEPCK to reduce gluconeogenesis
*GLP-1 Boost*: Enhances insulin secretion (1.5-2×↑)
Clinically Proven Benefits
Blood Sugar Control
HbA1c reduction: 0.8-1.2% (12-week trial)
Postprandial glucose: 25%↓ (similar to acarbose)
Complcation Prevention
35%↑ nerve conduction velocity
40%↓ urinary microalbumin
Metabolic Improvement
HOMA-IR: 25%↓
Triglycerides: 20-25%↓
