glucose support.

For those at risk or for those who have diabetes, controlling one’s blood sugar levels are paramount to preventing the disease, or to treating it, and to living a healthy and fulfilled live with diabetes. Evergreen Vitamins’ Glucose Support contains a proprietary blend of ingredients shown in clinical studies to stabilize blood glucose levels.

Berberine has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. It has been studied in the treatment of type 2 diabetic patients and performed as well as the drug metformin but without side effects.

Berberine is a plant alkaloid and a naturally occurring compound found in roots, rhizomes, and stem bark of various plants works by targeting a key regulator of metabolism, the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) enzyme.

AMPK regulates glucose uptake and the synthesis of glucose transporters-which move glucose out of your blood and into your cells, where it is converted to energy. Berberine also increases the number and activity of the insulin receptors, promoting insulin sensitivity.

Mulberry is the biggest “secret” in blood sugar control. Mulberry has the ability to control your blood sugar at healthy levels and protect you from the onset of Pre-Diabetes. You’ve heard of the Mulberry tree.

The Mulberry we’re talking about is extracted from Mulberry leaves. Mulberry, the food of silkworms, has been used as a healthful food ingredient for humans in India, as well as in Chinese traditional medicine for hundreds of years as a “cooling” herb to remove excessive heat and toxins from the body.

However, it was not until recent years that it started gaining attention by doctors and scientists for its blood sugar management properties. Recent research has shown Mulberry extract reduces the body’s absorption of sugars and other carbohydrates as well as to significantly lower post-meal blood sugar spikes and stabilizes blood sugar levels.

Banaba leaf comes from a tree with thick, waxy leaves and striking purple flowers, typically found in Southeast Asia. Research has shown banaba leaf is effective in lowering blood glucose in people with regularly high blood sugar. It may also aid weight loss if high blood sugar has led to obesity.

Experts say the reason banaba leaf can have a positive effect on blood sugar levels is that it contains a natural concentration of corosolic acid, which mimics the function of insulin by aiding the metabolism of glucose.

Corosolic acid can work like insulin to reduce blood sugar levels by transporting glucose into cells and out of the bloodstream. This can be beneficial to anyone who has trouble with high blood sugar and especially to those with insulin resistance or diabetes.

Gymnema slows the release of sugar from the foods you eat, keeping your blood sugar steady. Gymnema has been shown in clinical trials to lower blood glucose and A1C levels. A1C levels are a long-term measurement of your body’s ability to control glucose.

Gymnema Sylvester is an ayurvedic herb from India and has been used for centuries to treat high blood sugar and diabetes. Ingestion of Mulberry leaf extract has been shown in clinical studies to lower blood spikes after eating and may help reduce the risks of diabetes.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral required for normal fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium enhances insulin sensitivity by increasing the number of binding sites on cells for insulin to allow for better transport of glucose in the cells for energy.

It is estimated that 90% of Americans are deficient in chromium. The form of Chromium used in the Glucose Support is the TRAACS®, which is the most bio-available form on the market.

TRAACS minerals are bonded to the amino acid glycine which forms an organic molecule that creates maximum absorption because it is so small that it can be transported directly into the cells of the body and is available for immediate use.

ALA has been used for three decades in Europe to treat peripheral nerve degeneration and to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

ALA is known as a metabolic antioxidant because, without it, cells cannot use sugar to produce energy.
