High protein:  Threptin Lite similar to Threptin contains 30% protein. This protein comes mainly from casein which is a class 1 milk protein, providing all the essential amino acids. Casein also has the advantage that it is very easy to digest.  For individuals who need a high protein intake but are likely to have diabetes, cardiovascular disorders or obesity.z

Sugar free: Threptin Lite contains no sugar. In patients with diabetes, intake of sugar can lead to worsening of blood glucose control by causing sudden increases in glucose level.  Patients who are obese or have cardio-vascular disorders are often told to restrict their sugar intake. Since sugar in excess gets converted and stored in the body as fats, which predisposes to obesity and cardio-vascular disorders. Thus keeping Threptin Lite sugar free benefits diabetic, cardiovascular as well as obese patients.

Dietary fibre: Patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disorders often have elevated total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Threptin Lite provides a mixture of soluble as well as insoluble fibre. The fibre content of Threptin Lite helps to reduce the total as well as LDL cholesterol.  The fibre helps maintain GI health and bowel movement.

Anti-oxidants: Patients with diabetes, cardio-vascular disorders and obesity are prone to an oxidative stress i.e. increased formation of free oxygen radicals. Oxidative stress is responsible for a number of complications in diabetes & heart conditions.

To combat oxidative stress, Threptin Lite contains, 3 anti-oxidant vitamins viz. beta-Carotene(type of Vitamin A), Vitamin C and Vitamin E. These vitamins trap the free oxygen radicals and prevent further damage from occurring in patients with cardiovascular disorders and diabetes.

In addition, Threptin Lite contains Grape seed extract which is a very strong anti-oxidant from plant source. Threptin Lite also contains Chromium. Chromium is a mineral which helps in proper activity of anti-oxidant enzymes present in the body. Moreover, in patients with Diabetes insulin does not work properly and cause a rise in blood. Chromium allows insulin to act normally.

Homocysteine lowering vitamins: Homocysteine is an amino acid. In patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and obesity, the levels of homocysteine are often elevated above normal. Patients with increased levels of homocysteine have an oxidative stress with an increased production of free oxidative radicals. Thus contributes to diabetic & cardiac complications.

Folic acid, Vitamin B12 & Vitamin B6 help to normalize the elevated homocysteine level. This in turn helps to prevent diabetic and cardiovascular complications.
