ChromeMate® and Maitake Mushroom Found to Significantly Reduce Body Weight, Blood Pressure and Fasting Blood Glucose Level in Rats
Maitake mushroom has been reported to favorably influence hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center demonstrated that diabetic rats receiving a combination of Maitake mushroom water-soluble fraction and ChromeMate® reduced body weight, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels significantly more than diabetic rats receiving either Maitake mushroom water-soluble fraction alone or no special treatment (control group). Thus, ChromeMate® with Maitake mushroom water-soluble fraction may serve as a novel tool in promoting healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
