KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc, a global leader in skin care innovation and nutritional science, has presented new findings on the benefits of a botanical leaf extract when included in nutritional drinks containing protein, fat, and fibre at the American Society for Nutrition’s Annual Conference.

“We’ve researched the benefits of nutritional supplements for more than 15 years. Consumers not only want to look good—they want to feel good.

“Beauty starts from the inside out, and our latest research helps inform us on the future of nutritionals,” said Chief Innovation Officer, Product & Science at Mary Kay, Dr Lucy Gildea in a statement.

The findings, which the Mary Kay Global Nutrition Research & Innovation team shared, could have a significant impact on understanding of botanical leaf extract rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids, and 1-deoxynojirimycin and other active components to lower glucose response and improve satiety in consumers.

According to research by Mary Kay, the consumption of nutritional drinks with this extract produced a significantly lower postprandial glucose response compared to consumption of drinks without it.

The data also indicated that this extract supports “low Glycemic Index” properties and subjects who consumed the drink also reported improved satiety.

The research revealed is just the latest effort by Mary Kay to reinforce the brand’s long-standing commitment to advancing skin health, research and development, and nutrition.

The company holds more than 1,600 patents for products, technologies, and packaging designs in its global portfolio.
