Ocimum sanctum, also known as tulsi, is a popular herb in Ayurvedic medicine, traditionally used in India for centuries. Today, tulsi is linked to multiple therapeutic effects. One 2010 study found tulsi was widely used by traditional medicinal practitioners as part of their day-to-day practice. Traditional healers used the leaves, stem, flower, roots, seeds, and other parts of the tulsi plant for bronchitis, malaria, diarrhea, skin disease, arthritis, insect bites, and other issues. Today, we know tulsi may provide these effects because of its natural cardioprotective, analgesic, adaptogenic, and antimicrobial effects, all of which support the use of tulsi in humans and animals. According to the makers of Metabo Flex, Ocimum sanctum can support metabolic flexibility – which is the main role of Metabo Flex – while also supporting liver and brain health.

Camellia sinensis is the most widely grown type of tea plant in the world. In fact, the name Camellia sinensis is often used interchangeably with tea plants. It’s a hardy evergreen shrub used to make caffeinated teas. Today, many supplements use tea plant extract – like green tea extract – to achieve targeted effects. Studies show the oil of the tea plant is rich with bioactive compounds like catechins, which are linked to antioxidant effects. Because of these effects, tea is considered one of the most widely-consumed healthy beverages in the world – and we have Camellia sinensis to thank. The Camellia sinensis in Metabo Flex supports metabolic flexibility and supports increased energy.

Chlorogenic acid is a phytochemical found in coffee and coffee beans. During roasting, coffee beans lose significant levels of chlorogenic acid. Many supplements contain green coffee bean extract to preserve the chlorogenic acid, which is thought to provide powerful health effects. Chlorogenic acid is a phenolic compound that, like the bioactive compounds in tea, could be linked to healthy levels of inflammation throughout the body. According to the makers of Metabo Flex, chlorogenic acid can support metabolic flexibility and support healthy blood sugar, making it valuable for weight loss overall.

L-carnitine is an amino acid critical for protein synthesis, nervous system function, blood flow, and energy. Some people take L-carnitine before a workout for energy and blood flow. Others take L-carnitine for energy management and weight loss. According to the makers of Metabo Flex, L-carnitine can support metabolic flexibility, helping you burn more calories daily to lose weight. It also “enhances the sense of well-being,” which could support mood, energy, and overall balance.

Chromium is a vital mineral linked to numerous processes throughout the body. It’s particularly important in blood sugar management, and many diabetics and pre-diabetics take chromium supplements to help manage blood sugar. Each serving of Metabo Flex contains chromium to support metabolic flexibility and help curb hunger, according to the manufacturer. By balancing blood sugar levels, chromium may be able to help curb hunger.

Resveratrol is a popular antioxidant found in wine and grapes. When taken as a concentrated supplement ingredient, however, resveratrol is easy to consume in high doses. Instead of drinking 100 bottles of wine, you can take a single serving of resveratrol. According to the makers of Metabo Flex, the resveratrol in the formula will support metabolic flexibility and support heart health, making it ideal for weight loss, inflammation, and overall health and wellness.
