Oct 12 2011 --- The first and only dietary supplement with natural capsinoids extracted from the CH-19 Sweet pepper, Capsiate Natura is unique in addressing 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 Dr. 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. Additional research has shown that 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. 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."

In addition to Capsiate Natura and Glysom, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. makes Natura Guard BP, a milk protein-derived nutraceutical to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range. These products are substantiated through rigorous clinical studies and are available exclusively through medical professionals.
