Jerusalem Artichoke

Jerusalem artichoke is the ideal food for slimming and eliminating excess water and toxins.  It has the capacity to work on the metabolism by producing energy and a feeling of being satiated, without increasing glycerin levels.  The active principle responsible for these phenomena is Inulin, a carbohydrate well tolerated by the pancreas.  Inulin works in synergy with other elements of the plant, such as the bitter properties, the proteins, soluble fibers and basic minerals, to exert a regulating effect on the body’s metabolism.

Historical overview
Despite its name, Jerusalem Artichoke is neither artichoke nor from Jerusalem. Native to North America, it is a member of the sunflower family from which it gets its particularity of following the sun. The name « Jerusalem » probably comes from a distortion of its Italian name « Girasola » that literally means « rotate towards the sun ».

Actions and pharmacology
Jerusalem Artichoke tubercle is a source of inulin, a unique complex sugar. Contrary to potato's starch, which is composed of a very long chain of glucose and has a very high glycemic index, inulin is composed of a shorter chain (30 molecules) of fructose and has a low glycemic index.
Therefore, Jerusalem Artichoke helps to control sugar levels, reducing sugar cravings and hypoglycemia. It also helps to reduce hyperinsulinemia and may be useful as a supportive therapy for non insulin-dependant Type II diabetes (or Syndrome X), which is characterized by elevated insulin levels.
Jerusalem Artichoke reduces the feeling of hunger and is therefore useful in low-calorie diets to control « the munchies ». Finally, it acts as a prebiotic for the good bacteria of the intestine, improving nutrient absorption and overall health.

Scientific studies
A double-blind study was conducted on Helianthus tuberosus over a period of 12 weeks. In 166 patients following the same diet, 85 were given a placebo and 81 Helianthus tuberosus. The average weight loss, after 12 weeks, was 7.1 kg for the treated group and 4.7 kg for the placebo group (P<0.005), proving that Helianthus tuberosus has a significant effect on weight loss. Moreover, no side effects nor biological parameters modifications (blood tests) were reported. (3)
Researchers have tried to determine the action mechanism of Jerusalem Artichoke in humans. They discovered that neither inulin or fructan increased glycemia or insulinemia as much as might have been expected from its fructose content. Moreover, they noticed a positive effect on intestinal flora. These facts confirm Jerusalem Artichoke's inulin to have different metabolic effects from other complex sugar.(4)

Precautions, contraindications and interactions
Contraindication: known allergy to Jerusalem Artichoke.

IMPORTANT: Never stop a prescription medication without the advice of a physician. Helix Slim was not designed to treat diabetes.

There is no data available on its use during pregnancy or nursing. Since Jerusalem Artichoke is a food, its ingestion, at suggested dosages, should be safe. However, caution is recommended.
