Anti-spike formula
Inchauspe recently released their new product, a supplement for sale: Anti-Spike Formula. It is currently in the pre-order stage and is expected to start shipping in April this year. Anti-Spike is marketed to reduce the natural amount of sugar your body experiences after eating. It also claims to be made with 100% natural, gut-friendly ingredients, sugar-free, vegan and gluten-free. The Anti-Spike formula contains four ingredients: white mulberry leaves, lemon extract, cinnamon extract, and something called Glucose Goddess Antioxidant, a proprietary blend of plant extracts.
According to its website, Anti-Spike appears
"Clinically proven to reduce glucose spikes from carbs and sugar by up to 40%." »
This sentence can say a lot, so let's get started.
"...glucose increases with carbohydrates and sugar..."
It is completely normal for the sugar level in the body to rise immediately after a meal. Insulin will be released to allow the sugar to enter the cells and be used as energy. Some foods release sugar and carbohydrates more quickly - foods with a low glycemic index. However, the total amount of sugar and carbohydrates consumed remains the same; absorption lasts longer. State Inhousepe
"And spikes in glucose make you tired, grumpy, cause sugar addiction, wreak havoc with hormones, sleep, skin and lead to type 2 diabetes."
A closer look at the literature shows that, at best, glycemic spikes are associated with acne, sleep disturbances, and even the onset of type 2 diabetes, but these are not just spikes, but rather the result of a very rich diet. in sugar. and carbohydrates.
"Clinically Proven"
The website cites several articles in PubMed, the National Library of Medicine, in its claims. However, without looking or reading the individual references, it is easy to get a "medical aura" and think that these supplements have undergone clinically important randomized controlled trials. He doesn't have it. All of the studies mentioned relate to each ingredient, most of which relate to white mulberry leaves. In fact, of the 11 articles cited, seven were about mulberry leaf extract, three about Eriomin, a proprietary orange extract supplement, and one about cinnamon; Not compatible with Glucose Goddess Antioxidant Blend or any of the ingredients listed in the blend.
Mulberry leaf extract
While the research on mulberry leaf extract is promising, it is too early to make claims like "clinically proven." The mentioned studies are essentially small studies with different doses, interventions and outcomes. For example,
- A study of 30 people showed a drop in insulin one hour after a meal, but this effect disappeared after the second hour.
- One study included only 12 people in the mulberry leaf extract group.
- A study involving 36 participants was slightly more challenging, with no difference in blood sugar levels between the placebo and mulberry groups after 60 and 90 minutes. Or a study of 37 people showed no effect up to 30 minutes after consumption.
- One meta-analysis, which is the largest link, included 12 studies and 615 participants and looked promising. However, the specific doses and interventions that will affect outcomes are controversial. What is promised is far from certain or "clinically proven". Medicine is held to a much higher standard than that.
Yaromin
Eriomin is a proprietary blend of "powerful lemon flavonoids." Of the three articles that referred to Eriomin, one included 103 participants, the other included 30 participants, and this latter study was not an RCT, but rather a simulation, and looked at Eriomin in combination with metformin. As with the mulberry leaf extract study, the dose was not standardized and the intervention varied. While a sample size of 130 people is promising, it is not enough to say that something is "clinically proven."
cinnamon
Research on cinnamon began in 2003, which may indicate that this is the definitive conclusion on the matter. However, there is a reason why this single study is 20 years old. A later Cochrane review looking at cinnamon in the treatment of diabetes concluded:
" There were no statistically significant differences in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), serum insulin, or postprandial glycosylated glucose between the cinnamon and control groups."
Research on cinnamon has been difficult because its effectiveness has not been proven.
Antioxidant Goddess Glucose
There is no evidence. Don't study. No testing. Antioxidants have always been a buzzword in the health world. When you create your plugin, it should be filled with the most popular keywords and custom mixes. This is not an exception.
CLOSURE
This supplement has not been extensively studied, and there are no randomized controlled trials that are the gold standard. While some of the ingredients may be promising, as with any supplement, dosage, administration, mixing and manufacturing are important. Because dietary supplements are not regulated, they are known to be adulterated with other medications.
Inhauspe's constant claim that it is based on science is meant to comfort consumers. In this case, it seems that the number of studies should be impressive, because the content of the study certainly does not meet the demands. He shows his "work", but his work is not at all what he claims. This is just a tactic to make money in the form of extensions sold by influencers. He uses his powers to make you believe that you need what he advertises and what you get is not just an unregulated and untested supplement. Make no mistake, it is.
