Ajinomoto Showcases Capsiate Natura at Obesity Symposium, Introduces Glysom

FORT LEE, N.J.Ajinomoto Co. Inc., developer of pharmaceutical-quality amino acids and nutraceutical solutions, is showcasing its patented Capsiate Natura® at the 61st Annual Obesity & Associated Conditions Symposium, in Las Vegas, Oct. 28 to 29. 

Capsiate Natura, a dietary supplement with natural capsinoids extracted from the CH-19 sweet pepper, addresses caloric output by boosting the body's metabolic rate, which is critical to overall weight management. Glysom, a nutraceutical sleep solution that represents the latest amino acid and sleep research, offers a holistic, side effect-free option for today's sleep-quality improvement.

"The relationship between weight loss and sleep has been of increasing interest and importance to both medical researchers and practitioners," said Brendan Naulty, president of Ajinomoto Food Ingredients. "Our safe, effective dietary supplements Capsiate Natura and Glysom bridge the two areas for optimal benefit to the overall health." 

According to a recent study by Eve Van Cauter and associates at the University of Chicago, the effects of sleep loss are linked to an increase in hunger hormones and excessive caloric intake (Sleep Med Rev. 2007;11:163-78). Additional research has shown just one shortened night of sleep can increase caloric consumption by up to 500 additional calories, which equates to nearly an extra pound a week (Am J Clin Nutr. 2011;93:1229-36)  Made from glycine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body, Glysom has been scientifically proven to promote deeper, sounder and more satisfying sleep; and is particularly effective in promoting the non-REM sleep crucial to feeling refreshed in the morning. 

"While Glysom can address the body's need for healthy deep sleep, Capsiate Natura® can help to increase its metabolism to burn more calories, which can be as important to weight management as diet and exercise," said Jun Tashiro, associate director of Ajinomoto U.S.A, Inc. "We look forward to presenting our unique dual nutraceutical solution to more medical professionals as this field develops."
