Sugar Balance is formulated with the purest and highest potency herbal extracts, vitamins, and minerals.
All specific ingredients are manufactured under FDA registered and approved facilities in the United States of America.
Our formula offers top quality standardized extracts of selected herbs to ensure that consumers receive consistent and potent benefits from the herbs active ingredients while retaining all the traditional whole-part characteristics from herbs.
Gymnema has a popular name gurmar, meaning destroyer of sugar.
Gymnema has been postulated from animal studies to regenerate pancreatic islets of Langerhans, decrease blood glucose by increasing glucose uptake and utilization, and increase in insulin release through pancreatic cell permeability and B-cell number and function.
No side effects have been reported from various controlled clinical trials for glycemic control.
Mormordica Charantia is a vegetable known as balsam pear or bitter melon.
Mormordica Charantia is a proven hypoglycemic agent.
This vegetable extract contains a polypeptide which is similar to bovine insulin.
It helps stimulate insulin secretion, increase tissue glucose uptake, liver muscle glycogen synthesis, and decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis.
Fenugreek is a legume exclusively cultivated in India and has been known in the Greek and Latin pharmacopoeias to possess anti-diabetic properties.
In recent controlled clinical trials, the Fenugreek seeds have been confirmed to lower blood glucose and improve insulin release in diabetic patients with no resultant side effects.
In addition, Fenugreek seeds have been documented to have nutrition and restorative actions and they also stimulate the digestive process.
In another study, Fenugreek fractions significantly reduced elevated cholesterol levels known to be associated with diabetes.
Ginseng species have been shown to have hypoglycemic effects in streptozotocin rat models.
Most clinical trials have reported decreases in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose with a minor side effect of insomnia.
The mechanism of hypoglycemia include decreased rate of carbohydrate absorption, increased glucose transport and uptake, increased glycogen storage, and modulation of insulin secretion.
Magnesium is an intracellular cation involved in glucose oxidation, modulating glucose transport across cell membranes.
Hypomagnesemia is common in diabetics.
Magnesium may also increase insulin secretion and/or improve insulin sensitivity and peripheral glucose uptake.
Various clinical trials have reported a decrease in fasting blood glucose and increase in postprandial insulin.
Vanadium is a trace element with glycemic control action due to un-regulation of insulin receptors.
Vanadium may enhance glucose oxidation and glycogen synthesis.
Several clinical trials have reported significant changes in insulin sensitivity and decreases in insulin requirements.
Gastrointestinal discomfort has been observed.
Vitamin C is commonly deficient in diabetics.
Vitamin C has shown to improve endothelial dysfunction which is postulated to improve insulin resistance.
One clinical trial has shown improvements in glycemic control with Vitamin C supplementation.
Vitamin E may boost insulin sensitivity and decrease oxidative stress to cells secondary to the vitamins potent lipophilic antioxidant activity.
Controlled clinical trials that have examined Vitamin E intake have reported better glycemic control in some diabetics since diabetes produces a state of increased free radical activity.
