How it works:
Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is blocked by the Vysov 50mg Tablet.
How it works:
The DPP-4 enzyme usually breaks down hormones known as incretins (GLP-1 and GIP).
After meals, incretins help the body make more insulin and lower glucagon levels.
Vysov 50mg Tablet raises incretin levels by blocking DPP-4. This leads to more insulin being released and less glucagon being released, which keeps blood sugar levels stable.
So, the Vysov 50 mg tablet helps keep blood sugar levels stable both after meals (postprandial) and when you aren't eating (fasting state).
