Natural Solutions for Women's Health - Balancing Glucose the Natural Way

Women's health needs evolve throughout their lifespan, from adolescence through to the senior years. Maintaining optimal glucose levels is a crucial aspect of women's health, especially given the increased risk of metabolic disorders as they age. Zooca® Calanus® Oil, derived from the abundant Calanus finmarchicus, offers a natural solution to support glucose management, leveraging its unique composition and scientifically backed benefits.

The Importance of Glucose Management

Effective glucose management is vital for preventing metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Women, particularly postmenopausal, are at increased risk of developing insulin resistance and associated conditions. Incorporating Zooca® Calanus® Oil into the diet can help in maintaining healthy glucose levels, supporting overall metabolic health during the aging process.

The Science Behind Zooca® Calanus® Oil

Zooca® Calanus® Oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, as well as stearidonic acid (SDA). These fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in improving insulin sensitivity. The unique wax ester structure of the oil enhances its bioavailability, allowing it to effectively reach the distal parts of the digestive tract where it can exert its benefits.

Clinical Data Supporting Glucose Management

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Zooca® Calanus® Oil can significantly impact glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Research involving elderly women showed that supplementation with Zooca® Calanus® Oil, combined with moderate exercise, led to improved insulin sensitivity and better glucose regulation. Participants experienced a reduction in abdominal fat and an increase in lean body mass, contributing to more stable blood sugar levels1.

The study “Exercise Training Combined with Calanus Oil Supplementation Improves the Central Cardiodynamic Function in Older Women2 found that women who supplemented with Zooca® Calanus® Oil experienced significant improvements in heart function and overall cardiovascular health, which are closely linked to glucose management​, and overall metabolic health.

How Zooca® Calanus® Oil Works

The unique composition of Zooca® Calanus® Oil allows it to activate the GPR120 receptor, a nutrient sensor involved in regulating metabolic and inflammatory processes. Activation of this receptor plays a central role in gut hormone secretion, insulin sensitivity, and overall glucose homeostasis. By supporting the body's natural metabolic pathways, Zooca® Calanus® Oil helps maintain balanced glucose levels and promotes metabolic health5.

Benefits Beyond Glucose Management

In addition to its glucose management properties, Zooca® Calanus® Oil offers numerous other health benefits. It supports cardiovascular health by improving lipid profiles and managing inflammation and helps manage healthy body composition. The oil's high antioxidant content, particularly astaxanthin, protects against oxidative stress, further enhancing overall well-being.

The study on heart health1-4 (EXODYA) also revealed that Zooca® Calanus® Oil supplementation combined with exercise improved maximum cardiac stroke volume, cardiac output, and insulin sensitivity, emphasizing its comprehensive benefits for women's health.
