Plant-Based Ingredients in MonaLean™

Berberine (from Berberis aristata bark extract)

Berberine is a naturally derived compound shown to increase GLP-1 production, stimulate insulin release, and support healthy blood glucose levels. It also helps suppress hunger, promoting body fat reduction and weight loss.* 

​​ Green Tea Leaf Extract (Camellia sinensis)

Rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), green tea leaf extract helps stimulate GLP-1 production, improve insulin sensitivity, and moderate blood glucose. It also helps suppress hunger, reduce fat mass, and support weight management. Additionally, it inhibits ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and increases adiponectin, a hormone involved in fat metabolism.*

Gardeniae Fruit Extract (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis)

Gardenia fruit extract has been shown to stimulate GLP-1 production, with effects even stronger than EGCG from green tea leaf extract, offering powerful support for blood glucose and appetite regulation.*

Turmeric Root Extract (Curcuma longa)

Turmeric root extract (standardized to 95% curcumin) offers potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. When paired with black pepper extract, it helps stimulate insulin release, enhance insulin sensitivity, and combat metabolic inflammation often associated with excess body fat.*

Black Pepper Extract (Piper nigrum)

Standardized to 95% piperine, black pepper extract significantly enhances the bioavailability and absorption of curcumin from turmeric, optimizing its metabolic benefits.*

Fenugreek Seed Extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum)

Fenugreek seed extract contains N55, a naturally occurring GLP-1 analog that directly activates GLP-1 receptors, supporting appetite control and blood sugar regulation.*

Ginseng Root Extract (Panax ginseng)

Ginseng root extract helps stimulate GLP-1 secretion through multiple mechanisms. It also supports insulin release, healthy blood glucose levels, and improved insulin sensitivity, promoting overall metabolic wellness.*

White Kidney Bean Extract (Phaseolus vulgaris)

White kidney bean extract functions as a natural α-amylase inhibitor, reducing carbohydrate digestion and absorption. This action supports healthy body weight, appetite control, and metabolic balance.*

Chromium (III)

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that forms a compound in the body to enhance insulin function, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy blood glucose levels. It has also been shown to assist in body fat reduction and lean muscle maintenance.*
