- Features
ABA is a phytohormone naturally occurring in small amounts in dietary fruits and vegetables.; Dried figs contain one of the highest concentrations of ABA found in nature.; Glycemic control is the most researched nutraceutical application of ABA.; ABAlife® is a fruit extract from dried Spanish figs (Ficus carica L.) that may provide a natural way to support normal carbohydrate metabolism through its standardized Abscisic Acid (ABA) content.; ABA is mostly known as a signaling mediator for regulating the adaptive response of plants to different environmental stressors.; ABA possesses similar adaptogenic properties in mammals, playing an important role in inflammatory conditions and as a metabolic regulator, improving glucose homeostasis.

- Extraction Method
The Pure-Hydro ®Process, an eco-friendly extraction method using ultrapure water as the only solvent, preserves and concentrates natural ingredients of the fruit without any impurity from residual volatile solvents.
- Benefits
ABA is produced endogenously by some of our cells.; Small amounts of ABAlife® could be promising for nutritional interventions in the management of postprandial glucose metabolism and may help reduce the Gl of high-Gl foods or diets.; ABAlife® may improve glycemic control and play an important role in modulating glucose homeostasis in humans.; Great potential in other health areas, e.g. stress, cognition, weight management and sports nutrition.; The Pure-Hydro Process® water-only extraction method guarantees excellent and clean delivery of ABA.
