How does NSI® Salacia Oblonga Extract work?
Salacia oblonga (or S. oblonga) is a traditional Indian herb used to help control the increase in blood sugar that follows a meal by interfering with the absorption of carbohydrates. Native to regions of India and Sri Lanka, Salacia oblonga has been used for centuries in traditional Eastern medicine.

When glucose is absorbed in the body and converted into glycogens and neutral lipids by insulin, it accumulates as body fat and organ fat, which causes obesity and other health-related issues.

NSI® Salacia Oblonga Extract contains two potent alpha-Glucosidase inhibitors: Salicinol and Kotalanol 9. It binds to intestinal enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the body. These enzymes, called alpha-glucosidases, turn carbohydrates into glucose, the sugar that circulates throughout the body. If the intestinal enzymes bind to the herbal extract rather than to a carbohydrate, less glucose gets into the blood stream, resulting in more stable blood glucose levels.

Salacia Oblonga helps to inhibit the breakdown of oligosaccharides (disaccharides and trisaccharides) such as sucrose and maltose, into monosaccharides, and helps to inhibit the absorption of monosaccharides (such as glucose) in the body. This interference with carbohydrate absorption helps to prevent blood sugar levels from rising dramatically after meals.

NSI® Salacia Oblonga Extract is better because it:
- Contains the most powerful and highest quality ingredients
- May support your body in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels
- Provides a better value than other brands
