GLP-1 and natural satiety: what is Metabolaid® and why does it matter
Share
Why appetite control is so complex
Hunger is not just an empty stomach. It's a complex biochemical state involving hormones, neurotransmitters, the gut microbiome, blood sugar levels, and many other variables. This is precisely why approaches that rely solely on willpower or calorie restriction fail. The body has its own systems for regulating food intake, and these systems operate regardless of conscious decisions.
One of the most important regulators in this system is GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide 1. This molecule is secreted by intestinal cells after food intake and performs several key functions: it stimulates insulin production, slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and signals satiety to the brain. Simply put: GLP-1 is the body's natural mechanism for saying "enough" after a meal.
The problem is that this mechanism does not work optimally for many people. Satiety signals arrive late, are weak, or are overridden by other factors, especially rapid intake of highly processed foods, chronic stress, or impaired gut function. The result is persistent cravings, episodes of overeating, and difficulty controlling food intake, especially for sweet foods.
What is Metabolaid® and how was it developed?
Metabolaid® is a patented plant-based blend developed by the Spanish company Monteloeder, a manufacturer with over twenty-five years of experience in the extraction and scientific research of plant substances. The company specializes in metabolic syndrome and research into the effective use of energy in the body, and its technologies are recognized in health, sports, and beauty fields worldwide.
The creation of Metabolaid® was the result of systematic research: from a set of more than 300 plant extracts, a combination of two botanical sources was identified through scientifically guided selection that showed consistent and reproducible results in supporting natural metabolic regulation. The resulting patented blend has undergone several clinical studies on human volunteers.
The international scientific community recognized this work with four victories in the prestigious NutraIngredients Awards: in 2020 in Europe and the USA, in 2021 in Asia, and again in 2023 in Europe. The NutraIngredients Awards are considered one of the most prestigious benchmarks of quality in the world of functional ingredients and dietary supplements.
Two plants, one synergistic effect
Metabolaid® is based on two botanical components whose combination is scientifically substantiated and patent-protected.
Lemon verbena, botanically Aloysia citrodora, is an aromatic plant native to South America that has been used in traditional herbalism for centuries. Modern research has identified specific polyphenols in its leaves, especially verbascoside and isoverbascoside, which exhibit antioxidant activity and participate in the modulation of inflammatory processes in the digestive tract. In the context of Metabolaid®, lemon verbena plays a key role in supporting the gut environment and in the natural modulation of metabolic processes after food intake.
Hibiscus sabdariffa, botanically Hibiscus sabdariffa, is a plant with significant antioxidant activity due to its high content of anthocyanins and hydroxycitric acid. It is traditionally used in African and Asian cultures, and modern research confirms its positive effect on sugar and lipid metabolism. In combination with lemon verbena, it contributes to the synergistic effect of Metabolaid® on the body's natural metabolic signals.
The clinically proven dose at which Metabolaid® demonstrates its effect is 500 mg per day. This dose is present in each daily serving of Metaslendia, i.e., in two capsules.
How Metabolaid® promotes natural satiety
The mechanism by which Metabolaid® acts is focused on the postprandial phase, i.e., what happens in the body immediately after a meal. Clinical studies show that Metabolaid® promotes the natural secretion of GLP-1 in intestinal cells after food intake. The result is an intensification of the natural satiety signal that the body generates itself, and a prolongation of the feeling of fullness.
Thus, Metabolaid® does not artificially suppress appetite or stimulate the central nervous system. It works with and enhances a natural physiological mechanism. This is a fundamental difference: Metabolaid® does not overwrite the body's signals, but helps the body send and perceive the signals it can generate itself.
Practically, this manifests as easier management of hunger between meals, less intense cravings for sweets, and greater natural control over the amount of food consumed. These are results that have been repeatedly documented in clinical studies with Metabolaid®.
Metaslendia in the context of the byFEMME philosophy
byFEMME works with the body as a whole. Body care in our philosophy is not separate from skin care, microbiome care, or cellular metabolism. These are interconnected systems and the approach to them must be simultaneous.
Metaslendia fits precisely into this approach. It is not a substitute for a healthy diet or a shortcut around exercise. It is scientifically proven support for the body's natural mechanisms, helping those whose satiety regulation system needs strengthening, using plant-based ingredients with a clinically proven effect.
The product naturally complements other byFEMME products focused on metabolism and body balance: supporting the gut microbiome through Flora Balance, enzymatic digestion support through Herbzyme113 Plain, and body care with Force Cutter® Cream, which works with local fat tissue deposits from the outside.
How to use Metaslendia
The recommended dose is two capsules daily. For maximum appetite control support, it is optimal to take them approximately thirty minutes before a main meal. For more sensitive individuals, we recommend taking them after a meal. The product is intended for adults and is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women without consulting a doctor. If you have a chronic illness or are undergoing treatment, consult your doctor before starting use.
Metaslendia is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. The best results come in combination with a balanced eating pattern and adequate physical activity.
The package contains 60 capsules, which is a one-month supply at the recommended dose.
Who is Metaslendia for?
Metaslendia is a choice for anyone struggling with difficult cravings, especially for sweets, or persistent hunger shortly after meals. It appeals to those looking for scientifically proven plant-based support without synthetic substances, caffeine, or central nervous system stimulants. It is suitable as part of a conscious lifestyle approach, where body care is systematic and informed.
