Lupin8 400g
Lupin8 is a total weight control / lifestyle product that is used in everyday cooking and diet regimes.
Lupin8 combines the health and dietary benefits of its all natural ingredients including LKF (Lupin Kernel Flour), creating a product that is high in Dietary Protein and Fibre, Omega 3, Folate, Niacin and rich in antioxidants.
This unique combination creates a powder that can be added to breakfast cereals, home made bread, biscuits, cakes, pastries, stir fry�s, casseroles, sauces, soups, and shakes etc with little change to their flavour or texture.
By using Lupin8 in every day food preparation there is no need for special or fad diets. Lupin8�s inclusion in the normal family food regime helps reduce portion intake, improve bowel health and activity and most importantly minimizes the obesity risk by controlling the desire to snack between meals.
What is Lupin8?
The inclusion of Lupin8 in your daily diet has been shown to reduce the blood glucose response and the insulin response, releasing sugar more slowly. The specialised combination of both soluble and insoluble fibre helps reduce “bad” cholesterol while promoting “good” cholesterol. These fibres also reduce the transit time of food through the bowel, promoting regular bowel movements and removing toxic wastes faster.
Importantly Lupin8 beneficially influences satiety (appetite suppression) helping to control the urge to snack between meals.
Key benefits include:
Beneficially influence satiety (appetite suppression) and energy balance
The unique properties of Lupin8 have be shown to slow the stomachs digestion of food while sending signals to the brain that it is fuller sooner. This can reduce the food intake as well as the desire to smack between meals.
Beneficially influence in Glycemic control
The inclusion of LKF in daily meals has been shown to benefit the control of type 2 diabetes with appropriate diet.
Lupin8’s core ingredient LKF, included into white bread has been shown to significantly reduced the blood glucose response and the insulin response. The naturally high soluble fibre content can bind with fatty acids prolonging stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly.
Beneficially reduce LDL Cholesterol without affecting HDL Cholesterol
Lupin8’s ingredients act as a soluble fibre to reduce the total LDL (bad) cholesterol without affecting HDL (good) cholesterol.
The inclusion of Lupin8 in the diet has been shown to positively elevate high density lipoprotein cholesterol (the "good cholesterol) and so decreases the ratio of the total cholesterol over high density cholesterol.
Improve bowel health
Including Lupin8 in your everyday food preparation can reduce transit time, lower the colon pH (anti-cancer) and act as a “pre-biotic”. This naturally promotes regular bowel movements and removes toxic waste through the colon in less time.
The inclusion of a “pre-biotic” in the diet has also been shown to positively influence absorption of nutrients within the colon.
Beneficially assists the bodies defense mechanisms
The additional sources of Omega3, folate, niacin, antioxidants, zinc, potassium, Vitamin E and Dietary Fibre in Lupin8 has been shown to assist the bodies defense mechanisms I the following ways.
Omega 3
Omega-3 fats are beneficial in at least three areas of human health: heart disease, inflammatory disease, and development of vision and brain function in babies.
Folate
Folate helps produce and maintain new cells. Adequate folate intake during the periconceptual period, the time just before and just after a woman becomes pregnant, protects against neural tube defects.
Niacin
Niacin is used by your body to convert carbohydrates into sugar (glucose), which your body then uses for energy. Niacin is required for cell respiration, helps in the release of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, proper circulation and healthy skin, functioning of the nervous system, and normal secretion of bile and stomach fluids. It is used in the synthesis of sex hormones, treating schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, and a memory-enhancer.
Antioxidents
Antioxidents help to counter the detrimental effects of oxygen free radicals, Oxygen free radicals have been implicated in the development of several diseases including cancer and heart disease.
Zinc
Zinc stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. Zinc supports a healthy immune system, is needed for wound healing, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell, and is needed for DNA synthesis. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.
Potassium
Potassium is a mineral that helps the kidneys function normally. It also plays a key role in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle contraction, making it an important nutrient for normal heart, digestive, and muscular function.
Vitamin E
As an antioxidant, Vitamin E is essential for protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation by neutralising free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. It is important in the formation of red blood cells and also contributes to a healthy circulatory system. Vitamin E is also great for cholesterol as it prevents it from being converted to plaque which thickens the blood vessels and leads to stroke and heart disease
Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre, particularly insoluble fibre, increases stool weight and, decreases gut transit time and in so doing, helps to relieve constipation. There is some evidence that dietary fibre, particularly soluble dietary fibre (mainly b-glucans) found in barley and oats, may slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and hence lower blood glucose and insulin responses. Resistant starch may also reduce or delay the rise in blood glucose and insulin following a meal by slowing the rate and extent of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. |
