As global demand for scientifically validated metabolic health ingredients continues to rise, Greenyn Biotechnology has announced that its flagship ingredient Insumate mcIRBP-19 Bitter Melon Peptide has been awarded the "Excellent Product Quality Certification" by the Taiwan Complementary Medicine Society (TCMS).
This recognition positions Insumate as the only bitter melon peptide ingredient to have simultaneously obtained the following certifications:
- Certification from the Taiwan Complementary Medicine Society (TCMS)
- US FDA New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) approval
- Symbol of National Quality (SNQ).
This combination of recognitions is currently unmatched among bitter-melon-derived functional ingredients worldwide.
Greenyn spent more than a decade collaborating with medical schools and biomedical research institutions in Taiwan to develop Insumate.
Using low-temperature supercritical extraction, the team successfully isolated the bioactive mcIRBP-19 peptide, a precisely sequenced small-molecule peptide extracted from bitter melon.
This solvent-free process preserves peptide integrity and bioactivity, setting it apart from conventional solvent extraction methods that produce undefined polypeptide mixtures.
Research conducted by Greenyn shows that mcIRBP-19 directly interacts with insulin receptors through a unique binding site, activating downstream signaling pathways that support efficient glucose utilization.
Clinical studies in Taiwan demonstrated that consuming mcIRBP-19 for 12 weeks resulted in the following improvements:
- around 14% reduction in fasting blood glucose
- more than a 22% reduction in triglycerides
- significant improvement in HbA1c.
For sub-health populations, including aging individuals or those experiencing metabolic slowdown, international studies have shown that high doses of bitter melon components help maintain stable blood glucose levels and significantly improve HbA1c and triglycerides in older subgroups.
Dr Tao-Ming Chen, President of the Taiwan Complementary Medicine Society (TCMS), said: "Products certified by the Taiwan Complementary Medicine Society have met strict standards in scientific validation, clinical evidence and quality management, offering healthcare professionals a trustworthy reference for supportive nutrition."
"In recent years, bitter melon has become one of the most studied ingredients for metabolic and blood glucose support."
"Many products on the market claim to contain bitter melon; however, only by choosing patented formulas that carry the Society's certification can consumers truly support daily metabolic management and maintain better overall health."
This certification establishes Insumate as a clinically supported functional ingredient suitable for long-term metabolic health management.
Greenyn aims to accelerate global collaborations and become the leading provider of scientifically validated functional ingredients across the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
