(−)-Epicatechin dosing in normal and overweight test subjects showed an increase in fat burning and lowering of blood glucose and triglycerides after consuming a meal

Twenty adult volunteers (normal and overweight) participated in this crossover, open-labeled study. The test criteria excluded those with chronic diseases or those who used pharmacologic agents to modulate metabolism after a meal. Some of the test subjects received a dose of 100 mg of a precise purity of (-)-epicatechin (key ingredient in Mitokatylst™ – E) after fasting for 10 hours and before consuming a balanced commercial nutritional supplement. All test subjects were tested for their blood glucose and triglyceride levels before, 2 hours after, and 4 hours after consuming the nutritional supplement.
