Unimate, a specialty yerba mate extract developed by Unicity and featured in the Feel Great System, has been highlighted for its unique ability to naturally enhance the body’s GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) production. This is significant because GLP-1 is a key hormone for managing appetite, improving metabolic health, and reducing inflammation. Let us discuss how Unimate works, the biology of GLP-1 and inflammation, and the benefits of incorporating Unimate into your daily routine.
What Is GLP-1 and Why Do We Need It?
GLP-1 is a hormone manufactured in the gut in response to food consumption. It plays some vital roles in the body:
Control of Appetite: GLP-1 slows gastric emptying, making you feel full for a longer period, thus naturally reducing calorie intake.
Regulation of Blood Sugar: It triggers insulin release and suppresses glucagon secretion, keeping blood sugar levels in check.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: GLP-1 receptors are also found on immune cells, and their stimulation reduces inflammation in the body, which helps in managing chronic diseases.
Research shows that low GLP-1 levels are associated with issues like overeating, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
The Role of Inflammation in Metabolic Health
Inflammation is the body’s natural immune reaction to injury or infection, yet when it is chronic, it leads to a large number of health problems:
Weight Gain: Chronic inflammation disrupts hormones such as insulin and leptin, making it difficult to control weight.
Digestive Problems: Gut inflammation can result in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inefficient nutrient absorption.
Chronic Diseases: Inflammation is a known contributor to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
One of the major pathways linking inflammation and metabolic dysfunction is the activity of cytokines—small proteins released from immune cells that promote inflammation. Chronic elevations of these cytokines disrupt normal metabolic function, resulting in insulin resistance and obesity.
How Unimate Increases GLP-1 Naturally
Unimate is manufactured from yerba mate, which has been utilized as a medicinal herb in South America. Yerba mate is rich in bioactive substances like chlorogenic acids and saponins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Here is how Unimate promotes GLP-1 secretion:
Rich in Chlorogenic Acids: Unimate’s chlorogenic acids stimulate the release of GLP-1 in the gastrointestinal tract. Research has proven these compounds can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation markers in the blood.
Caffeine and Theobromine Synergy: Moderate levels of caffeine and theobromine in Unimate not only boost energy but also support the body’s metabolic process, enhancing the secretion of GLP-1.
Reduces Inflammation: By minimizing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, Unimate allows the body to better control hormones, such as GLP-1.
Science Behind Unimate and GLP-1
Unicity tested Unimate on subjects and demonstrated the following benefits:
Enhanced Satiety: Subjects experienced prolonged fullness and reduced hunger through increased GLP-1 activity.
Enhanced Metabolism: Increased GLP-1 secretion helped stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings for unhealthy food.
Less Inflammation: Markers of inflammation were reduced, fostering overall health and wellness.
This aligns with overall research on GLP-1’s anti-inflammatory properties. For example, a study in Diabetes Care found that GLP-1 receptor activation reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of chronic disease.
How to Make Unimate a Part of Your Routine
Unimate is simple to use and fits seamlessly into your daily routine. Here’s a brief how-to:
Start Your Day with Unimate: Replace morning coffee with a cup of Unimate tea to boost energy, suppress cravings, and enhance concentration.
Pair with Balance Fiber: Take Balance Fiber with your largest meal of the day to assist digestion and maintain stable blood sugar.
Fast Overnight: Unimate’s appetite suppression makes intermittent fasting effortless and sustainable.
Benefits of Using Unimate
