Stabilize Post-Meal Glucose Naturally with SugarLock

SugarLock™ is a patented, clinically-proven botanical extract developed to help individuals manage blood glucose levels naturally. By utilizing a high-potency polyphenol complex, SugarLock™ acts as a glucose gatekeeper, effectively inhibiting the enzymes responsible for sugar absorption.

Post-meal glucose spikes are becoming a central focus in metabolic health. In the United States alone, approximately 38 million people live with diabetes and an estimated 98 million adults have prediabetes—more than 80% of whom are unaware of it. [1,2] Blood glucose is also recognized by the American Heart Association as a core factor in cardiovascular health. [3]

Meanwhile, the rise of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has transformed consumer awareness. With the CGM market projected to expand significantly through 2033, real-time glucose tracking is no longer limited to clinical settings. [4] Consumers now see firsthand how meals impact their bodies—and they are actively seeking nutritional solutions that help smooth post-meal spikes.

How SugarLock™ Uses Natural Botanicals to Manage Blood Glucose Levels

Carbohydrate digestion is driven by two key enzymes:

  • α-amylase, which initiates starch breakdown
  • α-glucosidase, which converts carbohydrates into absorbable sugars

Polyphenol-rich botanical extracts have demonstrated in vitro ability to partially inhibit these enzymes, helping slow carbohydrate digestion and support a more gradual rise in post-meal glucose. SugarLock™ is a peanut-skin polyphenol extract designed to work at this critical digestive stage to support balanced glycemic response where it matters most.

Clinical Evidence: How SugarLock™ Helps Manage Blood Glucose Spikes

Peanut skins are naturally rich in procyanidins and other bioactive polyphenols. Rather than discarding this material, SugarLock™ upcycles it into a high-value, standardized extract backed by emerging human data.

Research suggests peanut-skin polyphenols may: Inhibit α-amylase activity in vitro, help maintain healthy fasting glucose levels in adults with elevated baseline values, and support healthy body composition alongside a balanced lifestyle

In a six-week human study (n=31), supplementation with SugarLock™ was associated with: [5]

  • ~7.4% improvement in fasting blood glucose among subjects with elevated baseline values
  • ~2% reduction in body fat, with modest reductions in weight and waist/hip circumference
  • MRI-indicated potential reduction in visceral fat over the intervention period

Designed for the Next Generation of Metabolic Formulas

As consumers demand measurable results and real-time metabolic insights, ingredient innovation must evolve accordingly. SugarLock™ delivers targeted digestive enzyme modulation supported by emerging human and CGM data—bridging scientific validation with practical, real-world application.

Sustainably sourced from upcycled peanut skins and standardized for consistency, SugarLock™ offers formulators a differentiated, mechanism-driven solution for next-generation metabolic health products.

With additional large-scale North American clinical research in development, SugarLock™ is positioned to help brands lead in the rapidly expanding glucose-support category where precision, transparency, and performance matter most.

SugarLock™ is a patented natural extract that inhibits digestive enzymes to slow the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, effectively reducing post-meal blood sugar spikes.

A healthy fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70–99 mg/dL, while postprandial (2 hours after eating) should ideally remain below 140 mg/dL.

The Glycemic Index ranks how quickly foods raise blood glucose; choosing low-GI foods (under 55) ensures slower digestion and more stable energy levels compared to high-GI “spiking” foods.

Preventing glucose fluctuations helps avoid insulin resistance, reduces systemic inflammation, and prevents “sugar crashes” that lead to weight gain and fatigue.

Lack of sleep and high stress trigger cortisol release, which signals the liver to release extra glucose into the bloodstream, leading to elevated levels regardless of food intake.

SugarLock™ is derived from sustainably sourced, natural raw materials and manufactured under rigorous quality standards, ensuring a transparent supply chain and compliance with international health ingredient regulations.

SugarLock™ offers a scientifically validated, clean-label alternative to synthetic carb-blockers, allowing brands to target the growing metabolic health and “longevity” consumer segments with clinically backed claims.
