Bitter Melon Extract – From traditional use to today’s effectiveness
Bitter Melon Extract (10:1) 300mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement made from a highly concentrated extract (10 times more concentrated than the original raw material fruit) of bitter melon (certified species Momordica charantia) with chromium picolinate.
Momordica charantia is a traditional plant from many subtropical and tropical regions of Asia and Africa, where it’s part of the culinary heritage of countries such as China, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Nepal and Pakistan, among others.
Its arrival in Europe is uncertain, but it was generally accepted. Thanks to which, the use of bitter melon fruit has survived to the present day, with a clear focus on its use in food supplements.
Discover a top-quality bitter melon extract in HSN’s EssentialSeries catalogue. It’s highly concentrated and contains chromium as an added compound that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels for the overall effects of supplementation.
Quality + Safety + Efficiency = HSN
A Clean Label formula – Without the use of cosmetic additives
HSN is committed to developing formulas with the highest guaranteed quality and safety, together with the minimum possible use of additives.
This approach allows us to provide products that offer only what you are looking for to supplement your diet. In this case, a formulation of bitter melon extract with chromium in vegetable capsules without unnecessary additives.
It goes without saying that we don’t use any ingredients whose function is aesthetic. In other words, you won’t find any colours in our capsules or anything that would obscure the glazing agent; our capsules are plant-based and transparent.
Certified herbal extract: Validated source, and high concentration without the use of aggressive solvents.
Herbal extracts are concentrated forms of plants that allow the nutritional compounds naturally present in them to become concentrated. As such, the higher the extraction ratio, the more effective the extract is considered to be.
For example, the 600mg daily dose of our extract is equivalent to no less than 6 grams of natural fruit, as it is 10 times more concentrated.
Another issue is the method of extraction, as many products that market extracts show very significant extractions but the traditional plant compounds can be spoiled if not properly treated. This sometimes occurs with the use of certain aggressive ethanolic-based solvents.
At HSN, we source our herbal extracts using traditional concentration methods, ensuring that the broad spectrum of bitter melon’s bioactive compounds remain intact for maximum utilisation.
Synergistic composition with chromium picolinate for improved glucose control
The composition of bitter melon extract has been supplemented with chromium, which has a strong presence in nutritional care formulas thanks to its properties that allow it to contribute to normal macronutrient metabolism.
In addition, we use the chromium salt considered to be the best possible form, chromium picolinate, with a high elemental content and high bioavailability.
Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
In vegetable capsules – Say goodbye to gelatine. Vegan products at HSN
Within our development philosophy is the idea that all food supplements, wherever possible, should be suitable for all dietary preferences. As they are an excellent nutritional support, limiting their use unnecessarily is contrary to the way we work.
Our food supplements are developed without allergens as long as the main raw material doesn’t contain them naturally. In other words, if you use a soy protein, you will encounter the soy allergen, as it isn’t possible to take soy protein without soy. However, why add allergenic ingredients to a product whose main ingredient, such as bitter melon, doesn’t contain allergens? This is why our Bitter Melon extract is allergen-free.
In addition, our capsules are no longer made of gelatine. For years, we have been working with a vegetable derivative, HPMC, which is derived from cellulose and makes our food supplements in capsules suitable for vegan diets, as they are made exclusively with vegetable ingredients.
Usual recommended use of Bitter Melon – Is it a product for me?
Bitter melon is a plant that is widely used.
The properties of HSN’s formula can be enjoyed by everyone, but it is especially aimed at people who are looking to take care of their blood sugar levels, thanks to the properties of chromium.
It’s also recommended for older people.
