SiPore® Technology
Advancing Metabolic Health Through a Unique Mode of Action
Sigrid Therapeutics is at the forefront of metabolic health innovation with SiPore®, a patented platform technology designed to slow digestion. By leveraging precisely engineered bioengineered silica particles, SiPore® provides a non-pharmaceutical approach to controlling blood sugar levels, supporting healthy weight management, and improving overall metabolic function.
With over 15 years of research, 10+ patents, and four clinical trials, SiPore® represents a scientifically validated and scalable solution to address the growing global burden of metabolic diseases, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Mechanism of Action: Slowing Digestion for Metabolic Stability
Precision-Engineered Silica for Controlled Digestion
SiPore® technology consists of micron-sized porous silica particles that operate locally in the gut. These particles are designed to physically entrap a fraction of digestive enzymes, slowing the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats. This controlled digestion process leads to:
Reduced postprandial glucose and lipid spikes
More gradual energy release from food
Lower caloric absorption from fats and carbohydrates
SiPore® functions entirely within the gastrointestinal tract, without entering the bloodstream, ensuring an exceptional safety and tolerability profile.
A Versatile Platform for Multiple Industries
SiPore® is a scalable technology with applications across several high-growth industries. Currently, three business verticals are in commercialization, with four additional expansion areas under development.
Metabolic Health
Medical Treatment – SiPore® is the active technology in Carb Fence™, a medical food designed for blood sugar and weight management in prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Dietary Supplements – SiPore® powers Glucose Stabiliser, a supplement supporting metabolic health in a consumer-friendly format.
Food Additives – SiPore® can be integrated into functional foods to provide measurable health benefits without altering taste or texture.
Oral Health
SiPore® technology is being explored in both consumer and professional oral care products, with a focus on reducing harmful bacterial growth and limiting dental caries formation.
Veterinary
SiPore® technology is being explored in both consumer and professional oral care products, with a focus on reducing harmful bacterial growth and limiting dental caries formation.
“SiPore® is designed with safety and sustainability in mind. It is made of pure silica, a natural mineral made of silicon and oxygen, two of the earth’s most abundant elements. SiPore® derives its function from its unique architecture and chemistry. It is gentle to the human body as to the environment.”
