First and foremost, GlucoBalance® provides unique support to balance blood sugar.
Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese cultures, Chromium is an essential mineral that supports normal macronutrient metabolism, converting the food we eat into sources of energy for the body to function. ‘Macronutrients’ are carbohydrates, protein and fat.
Chromium also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. It plays a role in how insulin helps regulate blood glucose levels in the body. GlucoBalance® includes a scientifically studied dose (200 micrograms) of Chromium, in its picolinate form, which is a highly bio-available form for optimal absorption and efficacy.
Fenugreek Seed is a clover-like herb, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for supporting healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Research indicates Fenugreek Seeds can help maintain normal glucose levels in the blood and support insulin metabolism. This may, in turn, reduce the risk of developing conditions like diabetes and its associated health complications. For those with Type 2 diabetes, it may help to provide better control over blood glucose levels in conjunction with a healthy, balanced lifestyle with the right exercise and dietary regime.5-8
Cinnamon, also traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese remedies, has always been prized for the vast array of active botanical compounds it naturally contains. Cinnamon’s natural flavour and sweetness are attributed to ‘Cinnamaldehyde’, an important active constituent with well-researched antioxidant properties. Cinnamon helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels as part of a healthy lifestyle. Research shows that cinnamon plays a role in helping the body maintain a healthy composition.9-10,15
GlucoBalance® provides the scientifically studied Ceylon Cinnamon at the optimal dose of 750 mg.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is naturally produced in our body and found in foods including beetroot, carrots, broccoli and spinach to help break down carbohydrates and produce energy.
Myo-inositol, which is also referred to as Vitamin B8, is commonly found in foods including beans, grains, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables. Inositol exists in many different forms, but Myo-inositol is the type that is most available in nature, with the most bioavailability which supports efficacy and absorption for the best results.
GlucoBalance® provides 300mg of Myo-inositol, which is a major component of our cell membranes and supports our cells in responding to a variety of functions, from hormones to neurotransmitters and growth factors. Ongoing clinical research also suggests it may influence the action of insulin.
Bitter Melon, also known as ‘bitter gourd’, is a plant with a naturally bitter taste and as it ripens, the bitter flavour is enhanced. It is thought to support normal glucose metabolism through the action of its active constituents, charantine, anthocyanosides, and beta- and alpha-carotene.
