Published in the Neuroscience Letters, Dr Nagai’s findings show that regular consumption of BRAND’S Essence of Chicken can help reduce hyperglycemia (high blood sugar level), a key factor for diabetes mellitus.


Dr Nagai and his team of researchers investigated the effect of BRAND’s Essence of Chicken on hyperglycemia in animal models.


A chicken essence solution was fed to experimental rats and tap water was fed to another group of control rats. Both groups were injected with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) to simulate hyperglycemia. After seven days, measurements showed a reduction in the level of 2DG-hyperglycemia in the experimental rats.


The study concluded that BRAND’S Essence of Chicken significantly reduces high blood glucose level in rats . This study provides good scientific evidence that the unique formulation of BRAND’S Essence of Chicken, containing L-Carnosine as an integral element, regulates blood sugar levels by increasing plasma insulin and reducing glucagon.
