Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that elevates intracellular cAMP levels, activating hormone-sensitive lipase to promote triglyceride breakdown in adipocytes. The methylsilanol component stimulates collagen synthesis and prevents glycation, while mannuronate enhances tissue permeability and provides hydration support.
