Delphinol®

Overview

Delphinol® is a premium maqui berry extract that is extraordinarily rich in flavonoids. It is standardized to contain at least 25% delphinidins and at least 35% total anthocyanins.

Maqui berry is a native berry that grows in Chile and has been consumed since ancient times. It is rich in many nutrients and in powerful flavonoids known as anthocyanins. A subgroup of these flavonoids, known as delphinidins, is responsible for the berry’s very dark purple color and for some of its reported health effects.

Delphinol® is reported to support bone health by increasing bone mass and balancing metabolism; to improve glucose metabolism and the blood lipid profile; and to support skin health by reducing wrinkles, protecting telomeres and enhancing skin tone, firmness and elasticity.

Applications

Delphinol® is a highly water-soluble extract, and low doses are sufficient for efficacy.

It can be used alone or in combination with food supplements for various indications.

Key features

Skin health and anti-aging: It contributes to a vibrant skin tone, reduces red areas and supports skin firmness and elasticity. It protects telomeres, which play a crucial role in cell division and aging. It is reported to reduce wrinkle depth and prevent collagen fiber degradation.

Bone health: It is reported to increase bone mass by activating osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. It has been reported to prevent bone loss, reverse changes in bone architecture by stimulating bone formation and maintain balanced bone metabolism.

Glucose metabolism: It is reported to help maintain healthy glucose levels by delaying the absorption of dietary carbohydrates and reducing blood sugar spikes. It has been reported to lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and improve the blood lipid profile.

Antioxidant properties: It contains potent antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and protect against free radicals. It is reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing NF-κB activation, which is linked to chronic inflammatory diseases.

Cardiovascular health: It is reported to lower oxidized LDL cholesterol.

Mechanism of action

Bone health: It increases bone mass by activating osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. By stimulating bone formation, it is reported to prevent bone loss and maintain balanced bone metabolism.

Glucose metabolism: It delays the absorption of dietary carbohydrates and reduces blood sugar spikes. In this way, it has been reported to contribute to lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and an improved blood lipid profile.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect: Its potent antioxidants combat oxidative stress. It has an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing NF-κB activation, which is linked to chronic inflammatory diseases.
