Blood Sugar Complex: Helps You Fight Insulin Resistance Naturally
What is blood sugar complex and what will it do for me? Blood Sugar Complex is a careful formulation of natural herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements with one purpose in mind; to battle insulin resistance - naturally.
Blood Sugar Complex combines these ingredients in a synergistic way, making the most of each strength for the battle against type 2 diabetes. Please do make us remind you that diabetes is not at all to be taken lightly.
Please do your homework and check with a doctor you trust, especially in determining what supplements will complement, not detract, from your current treatment.
Let’s take a look first at a little bit about diabetes type 2 and how the ingredients in the blood sugar complex of Whole Family Products might help.
How Does Insulin Work?
Insulin helps to convert glucose into glycogen, which enters the muscle, fat, and liver cells. When the blood glucose level rises after you eat, the pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream. The insulin will reduce blood sugar level by helping the glucose enter the body cells.
What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is when the cells in your muscles, liver, and fat don’t respond to insulin the way they should. So, the pancreas will start to produce more insulin so that it can somehow help glucose enter the cells.
When the cells become resistant to insulin, the body produces more and more insulin. Insulin resistance leads to Type II diabetes and gestational diabetes. It is also strongly linked to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
Initially, insulin resistance manifests itself with feelings of lethargy, hunger, difficulty in concentrating, high blood pressure, weight gain, etc.
The Use of Botanical Products
Most people think of using dietary products for insulin resistance as just a part of their diet. However, the trend is going towards natural health supplements to manage blood sugar levels.
Not many people go for this due to a lack of knowledge about the specific mechanisms that are involved when using botanical products.
However, the use of botanical extracts is a popular practice for many people who are aware of the benefits. Even in many industrialized countries, the use of natural products is increasing.
The 7 Natural Ingredients of Blood Sugar Complex and Their Purposes
We have created the blood sugar complex in order to help with insulin resistance. Let’s talk about how each of these 7 natural ingredients (chromium picolinate, gymnema sylvestre, banana, bitter melon, alpha lipoic acid, vanadium sulfate, and cayenne pepper) can help with insulin resistance.
The ingredients of this product include the following:
Ingredient #1: Chromium Picolinate
Chromium aids the action of insulin. According to many studies, people who suffer from Type II diabetes have a lower level of chromium as compared to people who don’t have the disease. Furthermore, dietary chromium is not absorbed well.
As people age, their chromium levels decrease further. When these factors couple together, a low level of chromium contributes to Type II diabetes. Chromium picolinate is one of the most effective forms of taking chromium supplements. So, the addition of chromium to our Blood Sugar Complex can help people lower their blood sugar.
Ingredient #2: Gymnema Sylvestre
Gymnema Sylvestre (Gymnema) has a long list of benefits helpful to insulin resistance and weight loss. While it boasts of lessening blood sugar levels in the intestines and cravings for sweets, GS has been found to reduce the body's insulin requirements and fasting blood glucose, as well as may help regenerate the beta cells of the pancreas, where insulin is made and secreted.
GS can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides. Other studies have supported its effect on fat absorption and lipid levels, and since it blocks sweet receptors, you might discover you crave sweets less. When sugar absorption in the intestines reduces, so too does inflammation caused by excess sugar intake.
Ingredient #3: Banaba
Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) comes from Southeast Asian trees. Historically, it has been used to help with diabetes. In fact, a study was published in 1940 on the benefits of using banaba for diabetes management. The active ingredients in banaba include phytochemicals. One of the main phytochemicals is known as corosolic acid. Corosolic acid is known to have many hypoglycemic effects.
According to a study, the active ingredients in banaba can reduce blood sugar within an hour. It also helps to lower the risk of developing diabetes in insulin-resistant people. There are multiple proposed mechanisms of action.
For example, the active ingredients can improve the uptake of glucose by the cells. It can also decrease gluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose by fats and proteins). So, banaba works in multiple ways to reduce the level of blood glucose, thereby helping to manage insulin resistance.
Ingredient #4: Bitter Melon
Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) is also known as bitter gourd or wild cucumber. It is grown in many areas around the world, including South America, Asia, the Caribbean, and East Africa.
It gets its name from the fact that it gets more and more bitter as it ripens. It is linked with lowering the body’s glucose levels. Basically, it acts like insulin. So, it can help bring glucose to the cells and use it as energy.
Another proposed mechanism for bitter melon is that it inhibits the conversion of fats and proteins into glucose. A literature review from 2015 claims that bitter gourd has major benefits in controlling many types of blood sugars.
Ingredient #5: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
In a study conducted on mice, many benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) were seen. It can help improve insulin resistance. In fact, it limits the gene expression of the enzymes that lead to insulin resistance. ALA is a natural ingredient in many vegetables, such as tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, and carrots. However, it is present in quite low amounts. It is better to take it as part of the Blood Sugar Complex.
Ingredient #6: Vanadium Sulfate
Vanadium Sulfate (VOSO) has many hypoglycemic properties that are known to be helpful for insulin resistance. Its exact mechanism of action has not been established yet. However, many experimental studies show that it works like insulin. So, it will affect the adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver just like the hormone insulin. It will also work to restore sensitivity to insulin.
Ingredient #7: Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne Pepper has effective thermogenic, fat-burning properties. When taken before bed, it has been known to ramp up the body's ability to burn fat during sleep, helping with fasting blood sugar levels.
According to a study: In healthy human subjects, capsaicin (a compound found in Cayenne Peppers) increased glucose absorption from the gut, and increased the release of glucagon during glucose loading tests. Intervention with capsaicin-containing chilies for 4 weeks in women with gestational diabetes mellitus reduced postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, with improved fasting lipid metabolic disorders.
Conclusion
Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases are both leading causes of death in both developed and developing countries. So, it is essential that people manage their insulin resistance before this disease reaches this stage.
Thanks to all the active ingredients, the blood sugar complex can have great benefits for the management of insulin and glucose in the body.
