Who would benefit from UltraMeal® Medical Food?
People with conditions related to metabolic syndrome, such as elevated waist circumference (central obesity), a higher fat-to-lean body mass ratio (altered body composition), and elevated blood sugar or insulin levels (insulin resistance).
How does UltraMeal® Medical Food work?
It offers a blend of natural, research-based ingredients to provide targeted nutrition for a safer approach to support blood sugar and insulin metabolism. It also provides nutrients to support cardiovascular and bone health. And it's formulated for use with lifestyle recommendations (low-glycemic-load diet, exercise) to help reduce risk to heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
How does UltraMeal® Medical Food compare to other products or approaches?
Lifestyle therapy, including healthy nutrition and exercise, is recommended as a first line of therapy for conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. Unlike some approaches, this unique medical food has a low glycemic index and is formulated to nutritionally manage metabolic syndrome by promoting the loss of fat while retaining lean muscle. And it was designed to complement lifestyle therapy recommendations to help you achieve greater success. It contains only natural ingredients for a safer approach, and has been clinically reviewed at the FMRC.
How long is UltraMeal® Medical Food typically recommended?
A typical introductory program is designed for 12 weeks of use to evaluate progress. But many people report changes such as increased energy and reduced waist size in just a few weeks. Individuals monitoring blood sugar at home may also notice improvements soon after starting the program. This product may also be recommended for long-term support. Follow your health care provider's recommendations for best results.
Why is UltraMeal® Medical Food safe?
Medical foods must contain ingredients generally regarded as safe (GRAS) or be FDA approved, and Metagenics continually evaluates formula ingredients in concert with current nutritional research for optimal safety and effectiveness. Plus, Metagenics' manufacturing facility has 3 certifications for good manufacturing practices to ensure the highest quality.
