MADRID, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Supplementation with the proprietary carob seed and pod extract CSAT+®, by Pharmactive Bioactive Products, SLU, combined with a low-calorie diet and aerobic training, could help reverse some of the cardiometabolic alterations associated with Metabolic Syndrome, according to results of a new animal study.

Key Points: 
  • Metabolic Syndrome (MetS),also known as Syndrome X, is characterized by a cluster of riskfactors, such as high triglycerides, unbalanced cholesterol levels, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure.
  • The goal was toinvestigate whether supplementation with Pharmactive's CSAT+, alone or in combination with aerobic training, accelerates the restorationof cardiometabolic health in caloric-restricted mice with MetS.
  • Standardized to at least 36% galactomannans, 2% oligofructose, and 1% polyphenols, CSAT+ carob extract is grown in Spain.
  • With high standards and dedicated R&D investment, Pharmactive was the first company to introduce saffron extract for mood improvement.
