Promotional/educational YouTube video (hosted by Ben Greenfield and other speakers) that frames age-related challenges—unstable blood sugar, loss of muscle, low energy—and presents two commercial supplements from NNB: GlucoVantage (a dihydroberberine formulation) to support blood sugar regulation and Dilucine (a di‑leucine peptide) to accelerate muscle protein synthesis. The transcript includes mechanistic explanations of peptides, claims about comparative effectiveness and specific study results (mouse data for GlucoVantage), and practical recommendations (pair GlucoVantage with carb-containing meals; use Dilucine pre/post workout). The video emphasizes convenience and bioavailability while noting that supplements and cosmetics are less strictly regulated than drugs.

You know, as we all become older, keeping blood sugar levels in check, maintaining muscle, optimizing energy levels, all these things become more of a challenge.
My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm a biohacker, celebrity trainer, nutritionist, New York Times best selling author and world renowned speaker. I'm on a constant quest to uncover powerful and practical health hacks to awaken, unlock and unleash the full potential of the human body, mind and spirit.
For the science of supplementation can help to enhance your body's natural abilities. So millions of Americans struggle not only with poor energy levels, but with onset of type 2 diabetes, often at a very young age. Cardiovascular disease, obesity, onset of visceral fat.
According to the American Diabetes association, one third of Americans are pre diabetic and 9 in 10 people who are pre diabetic have no idea.
And so there are certain things that you can do about this if you want to utilize a little bit of better living through science.
So today, let's talk about the science behind two ingredients that can address these challenges and help you perform, feel, and look your best, while also slowing down the effects of aging. Now, stable blood sugar isn't just for diabetics. It's critical for sustained energy fat loss and even preventing aging effects caused by what's called glycation. I came across recently this really cool metabolic enhancer called Gluco Vantage. It's a highly bioavailable form of dihydro berberine.
Dihydroberine is far more powerful than the original berberine for managing blood sugar and allowing you to maintain stable blood glucose values throughout the day, no matter what.
Kind of stuff you're eating. Now, this supplement supports blood sugar regulation and it's five times more effective than traditional berberine with none of the digestive discomfort. In one study done on mice, glucovantage improved insulin sensitivity by 27% and increased GLP1 levels, that hormone that helps regulate appetite and metabolism, by 95%. So as we age, stimulating muscle protein synthesis also becomes harder. But that's also essential for maintaining strength and longevity. Along with glucovantage, this company, nnb, also has a next generation supplement for muscle recovery and protein synthesis. It's called Dilucine. Now, unlike regular leucine, dilucine delivers 86% more leucine to your muscles within just 30 minutes and triggers 60% more protein synthesis.
Dilucine is a super powerful peptide.
What exactly are peptides and do they live up to the hype? Well, your body makes peptides. They're strings of amino acids. Which are the building blocks of proteins. But a peptide doesn't technically have as many amino acids as a protein like steak or fish.
Fish or something like that does.
Now, lab made peptides can mimic some of the peptides found in your body. And some of these peptides are used in medications for conditions ranging from diabetes to multiple sclerosis. Now, studies have also found that certain types of peptides may have benefits for your skin, your muscles, and your weight. So companies are now putting them into skin products and dietary supplements, Many of which you can buy over the counter. Now, keep in mind that the FDA doesn't regulate cosmetics and supplements as strictly as drugs. So that means you have to use caution when you're buying and using peptide products. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. They're a crucial component of biological processes. In many living organisms, these substances are smaller than proteins and typically consists of between 2 to 50amino acids, although there's no strict definition regarding their maximum size. And they play a variety of roles in the body, including, for example, hormone regulation. Some peptides act like insulin, which regulates your blood sugar levels. Others, like growth hormone releasing peptides, stimulate the production of growth hormone. Other peptides function as enzymes, catalyzing chemical reactions in your body. Examples of that would include ribonuclease, which breaks down RNA molecules, and trypsin, which aids you in digesting proteins. Neuropeptides are involved in the communication between nerve cells in your brain and throughout your entire nervous system. Examples of that would be endorphins and something called substance P. Some peptides are part of your immune system, Such as antimicrobial peptides, which help your body defend against bacteria, viruses and pathogens. Collagen and elastin that you may have heard of. These are examples of peptides that provide structural support to tissues like the skin, cartilage and tendons. Peptides can also act as signaling molecules, transmitting information between cells. For example, cytokines are peptides that regulate your immune response. Now, in medicine, synthetic peptides are used to create drugs and therapeutic treatments for a variety of conditions, including even cancer in the autoimmune disease. Now, due to all these diverse functioning roles in the body, Peptides have gained significant attention in medical research, Particularly in fields like hormone replacement therapy, immunology, drug development, and even anti aging biohacking. They're used in a wide range of applications, from cosmetics and skin care products to pharmaceuticals. So the versatility and importance of peptides make them a subject of ongoing scientific and investigation and research.
Now, of course, I'm a total fan of eating meat, but sometimes I'm about to work out.
I've worked out.
I'm on the fly, on the go, traveling, and I need very bioavailable muscle building compounds in my bloodstream very quickly. That's where dilucine comes in. Dilucine is a super powerful stimulator of muscle protein synthesis.
Dilucine is actually made by combining two leucine molecules. Leucine is a nutrient that helps to build muscle, and this special combination makes leucine work even better, boosting muscle protein synthesis more effectively and efficiently than leucine all by itself. Now, leucine is important because it activates a pathway in the body called mtor, which is like flipping a switch to start muscle growth. And new research shows that leucine alone might not be enough to get the best results. Dilucine takes leucine's effects to the next level, helping your muscles grow even more, especially when you pair it with exercise. It works via what's called a Pept1 transporter, which is your body's preferred way to absorb dipeptides like dilucine, making it incredibly efficient. Think of it as the Ferrari of protein synthesis.
This 1, 2 combo powerhouse of dihydroberine and dilucine from NNB, one of the leaders in the smart science of supplementation, will allow you to stabilize and manage healthy blood sugar levels while also maximizing muscle protein synthesis.
So glucovantage pairs perfectly with meals, especially meals with carbohydrates to help regulate blood sugar. And dilucine is great pre or post workout for muscle recovery and muscle growth.
