Gluco-Stable
Herbal nutrition to stabilize blood glucose levels.
Gymnema is known in Ayurvedic medicine as the “sugar killer” for its ability to numb the taste of sugar.
Results from studies in animals suggest that Gymnema may work in several ways to help control both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
The acids contained in Gymnema seems to decrease the amounts of sugar that are absorbed from foods. As a result, blood sugar levels may not increase as much after meals.
Also, Gymnema may promote the production of insulin by the body. It may make body cells more responsive to the insulin that is available, and may even prompt the pancreas to develop more beta cells – the source of insulin.
Gymnema has been demonstrated to bring down blood glucose and raises serum insulin levels, recorded during an oral glucose tolerance test in diabetic animals and healthy
human volunteers.
Corn Silk is used in TCM to lower blood sugar levels, acting as a cholagogue and diuretic. Bilberries have traditionally been used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
This formula may also lower the risk of some diabetic complications, such as diabetic cataracts and retinopathy.
