BERBERINE:
Targets a very basic and ancient regulator of metabolism present in all animals and plants called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Increased AMPK activation stimulates the uptake of glucose into the cells, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces glucose production in the liver.
CINNAMOMUM CASSIA:
(Water extracted, standardized, type-A polymer Cinnamon bark) Contains the element chromium, which is needed for proper glucose metabolism, and a specific flavonoid that stimulates glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis.
R+ ALPHA LIPOIC ACID:
Speeds the removal of carbohydrates (sugar) from the blood, and breaks down sugar and triglycerides for the production of ATP. It also stimulates insulin signaling, which supports glucose uptake by muscles as well as the metabolism of triglycerides by muscles.
JIAOGULAN (95% GYPENOSIDES:
Studies using Jiaogulan to treat diabetic patients (type II) showed a prompt improvement of glycemia and insulin sensitivity.
CHROMIUM 454™:
Is a critical cofactor for glucose control, helping to transport blood sugar (glucose) into cells, thereby supporting already-normal insulin action. Chromium 454™ is a highly bioavailable, water-soluble form of chromium that allows for enhanced absorption and utilization of this critical mineral.
