GluControl™ - 120 caps, 480 caps

Code: 1980/1

Supporting healthy blood sugar levels
GluControl™ is a clinically formulated blend of nutrients designed to be used along with a balanced diet to support healthy blood sugar levels. Both the combination and form of nutrients make GluControl uniquely better. Vitamin C (fat and water soluble forms); natural Vitamin E (both d-alpha and mixed tocopherol); N-acetyl-cysteine, the ready-to-work form of the amino acid cysteine and the proven plant favorite, quercetin, provide widespread cellular protection. These antioxidant nutrients protect healthy blood vessels and promote circulation and capillary integrity.

The standardized herbal extracts of cinnamon (CinSulin®), bitter melon and goats rue, help improve and stabilize metabolic balance. These herbs have been used for centuries and, more recently, boast positive results in clinical research trials. And vanadium, from vanadyl sulfate, continues to be investigated for its metabolic role as a trace mineral.

If there is a causal link between oxidative stress and insulin resistance, it may explain why some of the most powerful antioxidants are also known to improve insulin sensitivity. N-acetyl cysteine has been shown to prevent fructose-induced insulin resistance in rats.

Galega officinalis (Goat’s rue) has been used with success as an insulin-controlling agent. Goat’s rue is rich in guanidine, its hypoglycemic component. The guanidine in goat’s rue improves insulin sensitivity and is used to support the health of type 1 and 2 diabetics. Goat’s rue causes a long-lasting reduction of blood sugar content in rats and an increase in carbohydrate tolerance. This herb lowers blood sugar in both normal and diabetic humans.

Cinnamon is another blood-sugar supporting nutrient that improves insulin sensitivity during in vitro, animal and human studies. Cinnamon reduces mean fasting serum glucose by 18-29 percent in subjects with type 2 diabetes after 40 days of daily consumption of 1-6 grams of cinnamon. Furthermore, subjects with the metabolic syndrome who consume cinnamon have been shown to have improved fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, percentage body fat and increased lean body mass compared with the placebo group. In women with insulin resistance associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, cinnamon supplementation has resulted in improvements in fasting glucose, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.

Bitter melon is another botanical that has reduced insulin resistance in animals, partly through its ability to improve the function of insulin receptors in the liver. It also has been widely researched in animal studies for its ability to improve glucose and insulin tolerance.

Quercetin, another important component of any blood-sugar supporting formula, is a flavonoid known for its ability to enhance eye health in patients with diabetic cataracts. Recent research is unveiling additional properties of quercetin, including its ability to protect against oxidative stress in rodents with experimental diabetes and to prevent damage to the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.

Vanadyl Sulfate (Vanadium) can work with goat’s rue, bitter melon, and quercetin to help support healthy blood sugar levels. In one of the newest studies on this mineral, it protected against damaging changes that occurred in the aortas of rats with experimental diabetes. In obese humans with diabetes, vanadyl sulfate may improve a defect in insulin signaling specific to type 2 diabetes.

Dosage:
4 to 8 capsules per day in divided doses.

Caution:
Persons receiving insulin and/or hypoglycemic agents should be monitored by their physician and may need to adjust their medication.
