Ingredients explained
Bitter melon fruit extract (Momordica charantia)
Compounds such as charantin and polypeptide-p are studied for influencing glucose handling by supporting cellular uptake and moderating carbohydrate digestion.
Caution: May affect blood sugar levels; take with meals and monitor how you feel, especially if you manage carbohydrate intake.
Calcium (as dibasic calcium phosphate)
Provides elemental calcium that contributes to normal muscle function and cellular signalling.
Caution: Contains a modest amount of calcium; those limiting mineral intake or combining multiple calcium sources may wish to account for total daily intake.
How they work together
Bitter melon extract focuses on carbohydrate metabolism and cellular glucose handling, while the added calcium contributes to normal muscle and cellular signalling that underpins daily metabolic processes.
