Activate the body’s metabolic master switch to help burn fat for greater energy and vitality with Swanson Actiponin® AMP-K Stimulator. Scientists have found that many of the benefits of aerobic and anaerobic exercise stem from the activity of an enzyme known as 5’ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, or AMP-k, often called the “metabolic master switch.” During exercise, physical stress on the muscles and bones triggers the up-regulation of a family of proteins known as sestrins, which in turn activate the AMP-k enzyme. When AMP-k is activated, it triggers a cascade of metabolic effects that influence fat burning. The net result is improved muscular performance, reduced body fat and optimized metabolic activity.
Actiponin is a powerful herbal extract that activates the AMP-k enzyme, much like physical exercise does. It’s derived from Gynostemma pentaphyllum (also known as jiaogulan), a calming adaptogenic herb that has been used for centuries as a longevity tonic, sometimes known as “the immortality herb.” Scientists have identified natural saponins in gynostemma known as damulins which have been shown to strongly activate AMP-k in phytochemical studies. Our formula includes Actiponin®, a patented nutraceutical from Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaf, containing 1.2% of Damulin A, the active saponin component. Actiponin® naturally contains Damulin A and Damulin B, which together demonstrate better efficacy in activating AMPK, in comparison to other standardized extracts from G. pentaphyllum.1
Actiponin has been clinically studied for promoting fat metabolism showed significant decreases in BMI, weight, body fat and abdominal body fat with 12 weeks of consistent use.2 But the benefits of Actiponin go beyond weight control; by activating AMP-k you can enjoy many of the metabolic advantages that could otherwise only be obtained through strenuous physical exercise.
Increase exercise performance and aid post-workout recovery, stimulate energy production, promote healthy aging and get help meeting your weight management goals, all by supporting your body’s production of AMP-k.
Looking for a Companion to Your GLP-1 Weight Management Journey?
If decreased caloric intake has you feeling sluggish, supporting AMP-K may be what you need. AMP-K helps to regulate energy in the cells by either triggering energy production or inhibiting energy consumption as needed. Actiponin® can help—as an AMP-K stimulator it has been clinically studied to promote a healthy weight and BMI, and help manage total fat mass and localized fat accumulation.¹ Studies showed an average 11% loss of visceral fat and 3.9% total body fat.2 Actiponin also supports aerobic fitness, making sure cells throughout the body have the oxygen they need for optimal performance.
