Description

SAN's Sesamin features the fat-burning lignan sesamin, an all-natural nutrient that's extracted from sesame seed oil. Sesame seeds have been used for millennia as a food ingredient, although the extraction of sesamin has only recently been made possible by advanced food processing technology. Sesamin is one of the most abundant lignans in sesame seeds and has been shown to be a strong antioxidant and lipid oxidizer (fat burner).

Research reports that sesamin lignans are natural plant chemicals involved in the oxidation (burning) of fat. Sesamin has been shown to decrease the lipogenic (fat storing) gene expression of different enzymes involved in storing fat. Decreasing these enzymes results in decreased fat production and fat storage in the body. Furthermore, sesamin stimulates PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor alpha) receptors that play an essential role in fat metabolism. Stimulating PPAR receptors can prevent body fat storage and burn existing body fat.

Sesamin is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes harmful free radicals (unstable molecules that cause damage to cells) and protects immune system health. In addition, sesamin increases the bioavailability of the antioxidant vitamin E and supports overall kidney and liver health.
