Mary Kay Inc. presented new findings on the benefits of a botanical leaf extract at the American Society of Nutrition’s Annual Conference. The company’s research found that, when included in nutritional drinks containing protein, fat and fiber, the benefits of a botanical leaf extract could have a “significant impact on our understanding of botanical leaf extract rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids, and 1-deoxynojirimycin and other active components to lower glucose response and satiety in consumers.”
“Beauty is about holistic wellness,” said Dr. Lucy Gildea, Mary Kay Chief Innovation Officer, Product & Science. “We’ve researched the benefits of nutritional supplements for more than 15 years. Consumers not only want to look good—they want to feel good. Beauty starts from the inside out, and our latest research helps inform us on the future of nutritionals.”
