Glucose, also known as blood sugar, is one of the body's main methods of delivering energy to the cells in the body. When food is ingested, the body reacts by spiking blood sugar levels. Glucose is then transported around the body and used for energy by the cells.
Glucose is also a key player in the process of breaking down food into usable nutrients, and it can be stored as fat or used to create energy when needed. The pancreas detects blood glucose and releases insulin to regulate it. When the body is functioning properly, these work together in a delicate symbiosis known as homeostasis.
Unfortunately, nowadays the typical American diet is very high in processed carbohydrates, unhealthy fats and refined sugar, which can cause glucose levels to spike abnormally. The body therefore has to work overtime in order to bring back balance to blood sugar and insulin levels.
As the body ages, it becomes less and less adept at regulating glucose leading to conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and cholesterol. Our Glucose Defend has been specially formulated to help with blood sugar management, healthy insulin activity and to support cardiometabolic health.*
✔ May helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels*
✔ May help regulate insulin levels*
✔ May help prevent sudden glucose spikes, and their unwanted side effects*
✔ May be used for weight management*
Glucose Defend features substantial amounts of stabilized chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, Cinnamon, and the plant alkaloid Berberine in one convenient formula. These ingredients have been observed to help promote healthy insulin activity and glucose metabolism with more recent research suggesting that Berberine may play a role in maintaining A1c levels already within the normal range, thus also supporting cardiometabolic health.
Glucose Defend features, Berberine extracted from Barberry, a powerful botanical phytochemical can has been used for centuries in traditional eastern medicine for to treat an array of health issues, but more specifically, to maintain glucose levels already in the normal range, as well supporting lipid metabolism, and positive cell-signaling. Berberine also provides antioxidant support, and promotes healthy immune response.
Alpha-Lipoic acid is a multifunctional antioxidant that has numerous effects that complement Berberine. These effects include reducing oxidative stress, increasing the synthesis of glutathione by the body. Glutathione is a compound involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and in immune system function. It supports homeostasis, by affecting adipose cell differentiation and increasing the stimulation of glucose uptake into target tissues.
CinSulin is a patented Cinnamon extract, which has been clinically proven to powerfully influence glucose metabolism. Having been heavily studied for its role in glucose disposal, glycogen synthesis in the liver and muscles, Cinnamon may also aid in healthy insulin activity, and supporting blood lipid levels.
Crominex 3+® is the most advanced chromium complex currently available, which has been optimized with a standardized extract of Indian gooseberry, Capros®, and PrimaVie®, a purified Shilajit extract for superior stability and efficacy. Chromium is an essential micronutrient required for normal lipid and cholesterol metabolism, and may also help in promoting the function of insulin receptors on the cells, potentially resulting in improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
