Metapan
Marco Pharma Int'l
Overview
Metapan contains several ingredients with recognized benefits for sugar metabolism, including Gymnema, Bitter Melon, Cinnamon, Fenugreek, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. However, the proprietary blend format prevents consumers from knowing the individual dosages of most herbal extracts. While some ingredients like Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Carnitine Tartrate are listed with specific amounts that are below optimal for significant efficacy, the overall effectiveness of the blend in terms of achieving its stated purpose of "SUGAR METABOLISM SUPPORT" is difficult to confirm due to the undisclosed quantities of key active compounds for most ingredients.
The Good
Contains a variety of herbs and compounds traditionally used for metabolic and sugar metabolism support.
Black Pepper Extract may enhance the bioavailability of certain ingredients, like Curcumin.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Carnitine Tartrate offer antioxidant and mitochondrial support.
The Bad
Proprietary blend formulation hides the dosages of the majority of active ingredients, making it difficult to ascertain efficacy.
Many key ingredients, such as Alpha Lipoic Acid (20mg) and L-Carnitine Tartrate (50mg), are significantly underdosed based on scientific literature for their primary benefits.
The cumulative effect or potential interactions of multiple herbal extracts at unknown concentrations are uncertain.
