What is AMPK Metabolic Formula?
AMPK Metabolic Formula by Life Extension combines two botanical extracts – Hesperidin (from orange) and Actiponin® (from Gynostemma pentaphyllum) – with calcium carbonate. This product is formulated to support normal metabolism. AMPK stands for adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, an enzyme often referred to in science as the “master regulator of metabolism.” While there is extensive research on AMPK’s role in the body, there are no EFSA-approved health claims available for these ingredients specifically related to AMPK activation. Therefore, we provide general information only.
This supplement contains 500 mg of hesperidin and 450 mg of Gynostemma extract per tablet. Hesperidin is a citrus flavonoid that has received attention in scientific studies for its potential antioxidative and circulatory-supporting properties. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Jiaogulan) is highly regarded in traditional Asian medicine. Together, these ingredients make AMPK Metabolic Formula a complement to a healthy diet for those interested in botanical extracts and normal metabolism.
