About

Ambra BioScience LLC – Lovidia is a proprietary Gut Sensory Modulation Technology Platform used to create medical meals and dietary supplements that address important health and wellness issues, like preserving a healthy weight and blood sugar levels. They were concerned with the hormones that the L cells in the lower gut normally release. GLP-1, PYY, and oxyntomodulin are released when the nutrients in food naturally stimulate the bitter, umami, and sweet taste receptors found on the luminal side of the L-cells. These hormones have an impact on mood, glucose regulation, inflammation, and the regulation of hunger and fullness.
