Mode of Action.
1. Inhibiting HMG‐CoA Reductase: is an enzyme linked to the liver’s cholesterol production. Melitidine and Brutieridine inhibit the liver’s ability to produce LDL, resulting in reduced cholesterol levels in liver cells.
2. Inhibiting Phosphodiesterases PDEs. Flavonoids in this formula mediate their beneficial effects on lipid and glucose homeostasis by PDE4 and PDE3B modulation. PDE4 plays a critical role in cAMP which regulates energy metabolism and glucose metabolism. PDE3B is crucial for cholesterol metabolism.
3. Activating AMPK can help prevent abdominal fat accumulation, help regulate glucose tolerance, help normalize liver markers, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver and heart.
