SALCITAL®

Salacia Reticulata | Root & Stem Extract

SALCITAL® is a clinically studied, standardised extract of Salacia Reticulata root and stem, a plant with centuries of documented use in Ayurvedic medicine for blood glucose management. Its active compounds inhibit key digestive enzymes to slow the breakdown and absorption of dietary carbohydrates and fats in the gut, while unabsorbed sugars serve as prebiotic fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. What separates SALCITAL® from commodity Salacia extracts is a grade system verified against defined activity standards rather than crude marker percentages.

SALCITAL Salacia Reticulata Extract
CO-CREATE

Three Grades, One Metabolic Framework

SALCITAL® is available in three standardisation grades: the Salacinol standard, a water-soluble hot water extract for beverage and functional food applications; the IC50 standard, an ethanol extract validated against alpha-glucosidase inhibition for supplement formats with clinical claim positioning; and the Saponin standard, standardised for total saponins for broader metabolic and gut health applications. Best-fit applications include blood glucose management, cholesterol and lipid support, pre-diabetic and metabolic syndrome formulations, and weight management targeting fat absorption.
