Slow release

Slowly digestible starch is the starch fraction that is digested at a slow rate in the body, meaning it is broken down by the digestive enzyme in human body during 20 to 120 min. after eating. Recently, slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) are widely studied worldwide because of their various positive health effects: releasing glucose at a slow rate, thereby maintaining sufficient blood glucose, glycemic index and insulin levels, reducing the risk of Type II diabetes, etc...

Amlodipine is a representative active ingredient of calcium channel blockers. In addition to the general advantages of calcium channel blockers in treating hypertension, amlodipine also effectively controls blood pressure for 24 hours and has no or just a little effect on neurohormonal activation, so it does not cause high blood pressure at the last dose. However, amlodipine has a plasma half-life of between 30 and 40 hours, slowing the drug's action duration.
