HORN Introduces Patented Glycemic Modifier, MealShape™
“True Cinnamon” Extract from France Lowers Blood Sugar Response and Converts
Starchy Foods Into Energy Instead of Fat
MealShape is the first patented Ceylon “true cinnamon” extract that
is clinically proven to instantaneously reduce 20 percent of glycemic
response after a starchy meal.
Manufactured by French
biotechnology company, Dialpha, and exclusively distributed by
HORN Nutraceuticals in North America, MealShape is an all natural
ingredient that delays digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, thus providing health benefits including blood
sugar and weight management.
Clinically-Proven Efficacy
In animal and human clinical trials, MealShape proved to reduce glycemia by more than 20 percent immediately
after a standard meal without stimulating insulin secretion. As a result of its ability to lower postprandial
glycemia during clinical trials, MealShape’s
Postprandial Blood Glucose
health benefits include:
Reduction of Overall Glycemia – Daily
management of post-meal glycemia
improved the overall mean of glycemia
levels in subjects, thus providing aid for
those at risk of Type 2 diabetes.

HempSol: A Unique Protein Ingredient
Hemp Protein Concentrate Offers All Nine Essential Amino Acids
Hemp is one of the earliest
domesticated plants known.
This
multifunctional crop is used for making
pottery,
clothing,
paper,
rope,
shampoo and more. With cultivation dating back thousands of years, hemp
is also widely grown for the remarkable nutritional value of its seeds. Rest assured, while it is in the same genus
as marijuana, it does not contain the principal psychoactive
constituent called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), so it is completely
safe to consume – and surprisingly healthful.
The HempSol Advantage:
GFR Pharma manufactures HempSol, a specialized hemp protein
concentrate suitable for nutraceutical and functional food
applications.
Providing a
unique advantage, HempSol’s

the protein content is
edestine, a globular protein shown to have immune boosting
properties. Edestine is well-tolerated and similar in structure to
other globular proteins found in blood plasma, making it highly
digestible. HempSol is also a slow digesting protein, giving it
potential benefits for satiety and weight management products.
Another advantage unique to HempSol is that it contains all nine
essential amino acids (EAA). EAAs are required by the body to
build new tissue and aid muscle repair, making HempSol a great
choice for sports nutrition formulations.
• Higher arginine content than pea, rice
and whey concentrate protein sources.
• Free of enzyme inhibitor that can prevent
protein absorption.
• Free of oligosaccharides found in soy,
which can cause stomach upset and gas.
• Unlike casein, whey and soy, not known
to contain allergens.
• Source of Omega-3 and Omega-6
essential fatty acids.
• Source of dietary fiber.
• Low phyate content, thus an increased
bioavailablity of phosphorous.
• Good source of iron, niacin, folate,
panthothenic acid, phosphorous,
magnesium and zinc.
• Excellent source of copper and manganese.
• Low in saturated fat; free of trans-fat
and cholesterol.
• Low sodium.
HempSol is a natural and sustainable source of high-quality, nutrient-rich protein. It is not genetically modified
and is grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides or fungicides. HempSol is available in both organic
(HempSol-O65) and conventional varieties (HempSol-65). Contact your HORN Nutraceuticals account
specialist for more information and to request a sample.
