Features

• ABA is a phytohormone naturally occurring in small amounts in dietary fruits and vegetables.
• Dried figs contain one of the highest concentrations of ABA found in nature.
• Glycemic control is the most researched nutraceutical application of ABA.
• ABAlife® is a fruit extract from dried Spanish figs (Ficus carica L.) that may provide a natural way to support normal carbohydrate metabolism through its standardized Abscisic Acid (ABA) content.
• ABA is mostly known as a signaling mediator for regulating the adaptive response of plants to different environmental stressors.
• ABA possesses similar adaptogenic properties in mammals, playing an important role in inflammatory conditions and as a metabolic regulator, improving glucose homeostasis.

Benefits of ABAlife®

• ABA is produced endogenously by some of our cells.
• Small amounts of ABAlife® could be promising for nutritional interventions in the management of postprandial glucose metabolism and may help reduce the Gl of high-Gl foods or diets.
• ABAlife® may improve glycemic control and play an important role in modulating glucose homeostasis in humans.
• Great potential in other health areas, e.g. stress, cognition, weight management and sports nutrition.
• The Pure-Hydro Process® water-only extraction method guarantees excellent and clean delivery of ABA.
