Pro Pea Balance improves glucose and lipid metabolism using an effective combination of pea protein, alpha lipoid acid, chromium, and polyphenol-rich berry extracts. Pea (Pisum sativum) protein is a source of amino acids involved in muscle protein synthesis. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant compound produced endogenously by mitochondria.1 Alpha-lipoic acid supports healthy glucose metabolism2 through a number of different mechanisms, including enhanced glucose uptake in muscle tissue3 via increased translocation of GLUT4 glucose transport proteins.1 Chromium is an essential mineral that helps to improve glucose tolerance and metabolism.4 Blueberry extracts have been found to reduce serum levels of the oxidative stress biomarker malondialdehyde.5
