BILARM FAQ’s
What is Bilarm?
Bilarm is a dietary supplement made from a blend of natural bile acids extracted and purified from natural ox-bile. Bilarm’s uniquely formulated pill delivers bile acids to your lower intestines where it can stimulate your own body’s natural production of GLP-1 to reduce appetite and improve glucose control.
How does Bilarm work?
Bilarm’s uniquely formulated pill delivers bile acids to your lower intestines where it can stimulate your own body’s natural production of GLP-1, a hormone that reduces appetite and improves glucose control.
More specifically, when you eat, bile acids are naturally released into your intestines to aid in the digestion of fats. Research has shown that bile acids also stimulate L-cells in the intestine to secrete a protein called GLP-1. GLP-1 moves through the bloodstream to your brain and tells your brain to stop eating.
Scientific studies have shown that when extra GLP-1 is given to people, it decreases hunger and helps people lose weight. In those studies, the GLP-1 used were synthetic, had to be injected, and very expensive. Bilarm was developed as a cost-effective oral pill that uses natural bile acids to stimulate your own body’s natural production of GLP-1.
