Glucorest™ contains fermented black soybean extract, also known as touchi extract. Studies suggest that taking touchi extract before meals may help blunt the glycemic response, though further research is needed. Touchi extract has been shown to inhibit α-glucosidase in laboratory studies. In human studies, touchi consumption has not been associated with reported gastrointestinal discomfort.*
- Touchi extract has been shown in laboratory studies to:*
- Inhibit α-glucosidase—an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars.*
- Slow the metabolism of certain sugars.*
- No reported adverse effects in clinical studies.
- No complaints of abdominal distention or other gastrointestinal discomforts.
- No significant changes in tested biochemical parameters.
