Gluten-Free • Non-GMO • Low Allergy Potential • Designed for Easy Digestion • Great Taste*

Metabolic Support is a medical food formulated to provide specialized nutritional support within a nutritional management program for dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is often defined as elevated total cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels can be low, and the concentrations of other lipids and apolipoproteins can also be abnormal. Dyslipidemia contributes to the development of atherosclerosis and is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.*

 

The formula in Metabolic Support supplies a combination of phytosterols, bioavailable xanthohumol from hops (XNT ProMatrix®), beneficial macronutrient profile, 5 g of prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharides, antioxidant nutrients (vitamins C and E), and a proprietary pea/rice protein base with added amino acids. As part of a heart healthy eating plan, the addition of 1.8 g/day of plant sterols/stanols has been shown to lead to beneficial changes in LDL cholesterol in individuals with hypercholesterolemia.*

Description

Medical foods may be helpful for the nutritional management of certain chronic health conditions. Medical foods are often confused with dietary supplements—perhaps because both may contain nutritional ingredients; however, the terms are not interchangeable and fall within discrete regulatory classifications. Dietary supplements are intended to: provide supplementary nutritional support for healthy people, as well as provide nutrients meant to affect normal structure or function in humans. In contrast, medical foods are intended to:*

  • Provide support for the nutritional management of a specific disease or condition that has distinct and established nutritional requirements*
  • Be used under the supervision of a physician*
  • Support those who have trouble digesting and absorbing food and certain nutrients, and cannot nutritionally manage their condition through diet modification alone*

 

Metabolic Support—a medical food—provides support for the nutritional management of dyslipidemia. For example, the formula in Metabolic Support includes XNT ProMatrix®, which is a unique hops compound with potent antioxidant properties that demonstrates 81% more bioavailability than a standard xanthohumol extract. Metabolic Support also includes Reducol®, which contains phytosterols clinically shown to lower LDL-C and reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestine.*
