MIMIKER

Mimiker contains important nutritional factors involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism. It is in the form of gastro-protected tablets, as otherwise the lipoic acid would hardly pass through the stomach. Alpha lipoic acid is an essential enzymatic cofactor present in the tissues, where it has antioxidant functions both in its oxidised and reduced form. It intervenes in the synthesis of glutathione, guarantees the functionality of Vitamin E, and participates in the production of energy at the level of a fundamental enzyme, the pyruvate decarboxylase, which catalyses the passage from glycolysis to Krebs cycle, boosting the energy availability. Its antioxidant activity consists in protecting the nerve fibres, which is the reason why it is used in the treatment of various neuropathies: diabetic, retinal and carpal tunnel syndrome. Together with chromium picolinate, it is involved in the regulation of glycaemia by influencing a plasmatic factor, the GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor), which regulates and boosts the activity of insulin. Lipoic acid is considered an “insulin-like” factor because it increases insulin sensitivity in the muscle tissue instead of the adipose tissue. Mimiker can therefore be used in case of insulin resistance. Thanks to this feature, it facilitates the storage of glycogen, the synthesis of proteins and an increased use of fats for energy purposes. Several studies, also conducted on humans, confirm its potential in reducing fatty deposits. It is used by athletes to facilitate muscle recovery and, after the workout, it is combined with simple sugars and creatine. For this reason, alpha lipoic acid and chromium have been used as natural hypoglycemic agents in many experimental studies. The extract of Lagerstroemia speciosa (Banaba), to which several scientific studies attribute significant hypoglycemic features, inhibits the differentiation of adipose cells, thus facilitating the reduction of fatty deposits in the organism.

Mimiker is indicated to support blood sugar regulation. It can be beneficial for athletes to promote muscle recovery after exercise and acts as an antioxidant in nerve fiber degeneration and neuropathies.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Take 1 tablet per day, preferably before the main meal.
