DETOX with GLP-1 Boosters
Our 10-Day detox is scientifically designed to support our body’s ability to detoxify. There are many key nutrients needed to ensure complete phase I and phase II detoxification. While your body will be busy clearing out these pollutants, we will be boosting your GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1) hormones naturally via multiple pathways. There are many effective ways to do this, we have chosen a couple “avenues less traveled” to optimize your experience!
Improved Gut Barrier Function: Akkermansia enhances the integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, which can lead to increased absorption and secretion of gut hormones like GLP-1 from enteroendocrine cells.
Modulation of Gut Microbiota: By promoting a healthier gut microbiota, Akkermansia can stimulate the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are known to enhance GLP-1 secretion.
Activation of Host Metabolic Pathways: Akkermansia can influence host metabolic pathways, such as improving insulin sensitivity and reducing systemic inflammation, both of which are associated with increased GLP-1 secretion from the intestines.
These effects contribute to better regulation of glucose metabolism and appetite control.
Additionally, orange peel and acacia gum have shown potential in boosting GLP-1 levels through different mechanisms. Orange peel offers a few ‘party tricks’ of its own.
Rich in Flavonoids: Orange peel contains flavonoids like hesperidin, which have been shown to promote GLP-1 secretion by enhancing gut hormone release from enteroendocrine cells.
Improved Gut Microbiota Composition: Orange peel may alter the gut microbiota by promoting beneficial bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are known to stimulate GLP-1 production.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: The bioactive compounds in orange peel have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce gut inflammation, supporting an environment conducive to GLP-1 secretion.
Prebiotic Fiber: Acacia gum is a soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria that produce SCFAs, which in turn can stimulate GLP-1 production.
Gut Motility and Absorption: Acacia gum improves gut motility and nutrient absorption, potentially enhancing the conditions for optimal GLP-1 secretion from the intestines.
Regulation of Blood Sugar: Acacia gum helps regulate blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, which can indirectly promote GLP-1 release as part of the body's metabolic control mechanisms.
