Sesame seed Extract (fatigue, tiredness, stress)

What is Sesame seed extract by DHC? 

The Sesame seed extract supplement is a combination of various bioactive compounds derived from fermented black sesame extract powder, specifically sesamin and sesamol. These compounds play a significant role in the supplement's mechanism of action and its resulting effects on the body. Sesamin and sesamol are both lignans found in sesame seeds, and they are known for their potential health benefits.

Sesamin acts as a potent antioxidant, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. It also has been shown to modulate lipid metabolism by inhibiting enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, potentially leading to a reduction in cholesterol levels and promoting cardiovascular health. Sesamol, on the other hand, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to overall cellular health and protection against oxidative stress.

The inclusion of medium-chain fatty acid oil further enhances the supplement's effects. Medium-chain fatty acids are quickly absorbed and metabolized by the body, providing a readily available energy source. This can aid in weight management and boost energy levels. The presence of chicken extract, including imidazole dipeptide, offers potential benefits for muscle health and exercise performance. Imidazole dipeptide, such as carnosine, is believed to have anti-fatigue and antioxidant properties, which can support endurance and muscle recovery. Concentrated maca extract powder, containing benzyl glucosinolate, contributes to hormonal balance and energy regulation. Maca is often associated with promoting vitality, stamina, and overall well-being. Geranylgeraniol, a natural compound found in some plants, is thought to support bone health by influencing the production of certain proteins involved in bone formation. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, is included in the supplement to further protect cells from oxidative damage and support immune function.

In summary, the Sesame seed extract supplement with its key components – sesamin, sesamol, medium-chain fatty acids, imidazole dipeptide, maca extract, geranylgeraniol, and vitamin E – aims to provide a comprehensive approach to health and well-being. Its mechanism of action involves antioxidant protection, lipid metabolism modulation, energy enhancement, muscle support, hormonal balance, and bone health promotion.
