Benefits
Glucose Management Support
Cinnamon FenuMat clinically substantiated for glucose management — modest improvements in fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, HbA1c.
FenuMat® Bioavailability Enhancement
Same FenuMat fenugreek matrix as other Akay products — enhances cinnamon bioactive delivery and absorption.
Insulin Sensitivity Adjunct
Combined cinnamon + fenugreek both modestly support insulin signaling.
Metabolic Health Markers
Effects extend beyond glucose to lipid profile and metabolic syndrome markers.
Coumarin Considerations Addressed
FenuMat technology may help address coumarin concerns of cassia cinnamon by extracting selectively.
Mechanism of action
Cinnamon Insulin Sensitization
Cinnamon compounds (methylhydroxychalcone polymer/MHCP) have insulin-mimetic activity in research.
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibition
Modest alpha-glucosidase inhibition slows carbohydrate digestion.
Fenugreek Glucose Effects
Fenugreek's separate glucose effects (slowed gastric emptying, fiber effects) provide complementary mechanism.
FenuMat® Bioavailability
Fenugreek galactomannan matrix enhances bioactive delivery.
Clinical trials
Akay Bioactives clinical evaluation of Cinnamon FenuMat for glucose applications.
Adults with glucose management concerns.
