The branded ingredient InSea2® is a blend of polyphenols derived from the wildcrafted brown seaweeds Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus that are sustainably harvested from the North Atlantic Ocean. InSea2 plays a role in the inhibition of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, two key enzymes involved in the digestion and assimilation of starch and sugar. Clinical studies with InSea2 have shown an effect of reducing post-prandial blood glucose levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and maintaining optimal blood glucose metabolism.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in dysglycemic patients (N = 65) evaluated InSea2 (combined with 7.5 mcg of chromium picolinate) on glycemic status over a six-month period. At the end of the study period, 18.2% of patients in the test group returned to normal glycemic status compared to no change in glycemic status in the placebo group. In addition, a significant number of subjects changed categorization
from impaired fasting glycemia to impaired glucose tolerance, suggesting improvement in insulin sensitivity and glycemic status in the test group. Overall, subjects in the
InSea2 test group had statistically significant improved markers for glycemic health, whereas the placebo subjects—exposed to the same diet and physical activity
program—showed a decline in glycemic health markers.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in healthy subjects (N = 23) aged 19-59 years examined the impact of InSea2 on postload plasma glucose and insulin concentrations. Two capsules with 250 mg of InSea2 were consumed 30 minutes prior to a 50 g load of carbohydrate, and plasma glucose and insulin responses were measured over a three-hour period post-ingestion. Consumption of InSea2 showed a modulation of insulin homeostasis following ingestion of a carbohydrate-rich meal.
Carb Block + combines clinically studied levels of berberine and InSea2 and is formulated to support a healthy glycemic response to ingested foods while maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.
