Balancing Blood Sugar

Maintaining healthy blood sugar (glucose) levels is a growing challenge for many Americans. Research shows that most Americans spend an average of 21 hours a day being sedentary. This, combined with diets high in processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and sugars, can put a strain on the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar. Overconsumption of these foods, along with a lack of key micronutrients and fiber, sedentary lifestyles, genetic predispositions, and chronic stress, all contribute to unbalanced blood sugar levels.

When blood sugar regulation is compromised, it can lead to insulin resistance, where the pancreas works overtime to produce extra insulin to compensate. Initially, this may keep blood sugar in check, but over time, the pancreas can’t keep up, leading to prediabetes or diabetes if lifestyle changes aren’t made.

Balanced blood sugar regulation is crucial for maintaining the body’s energy production and overall wellness. That’s why Pro-Glucose Support was formulated with ingredients that have been clinically researched to support natural blood sugar balance. Let’s take a look at some of the key ingredients that make Pro-Glucose Support effective.

The Ingredients That Work:

Pro-Glucose Support contains ingredients that have been chosen to work effectively based on clinical research and data to support.

1. Biotin
   
   • You may have heard of biotin before when it comes to supplementation for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Biotin is a B vitamin that is water soluble.
   • Biotin plays a major role in energy production meaning biotin helps the body convert food into energy. It supports a number of enzymes involved in the breakdown of carbs, fats, and proteins that we eat.
   • Biotin also plays numerous roles in maintaining healthy blood sugar balance by stimulating glucose- induced insulin secretion, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and accelerating glucose metabolism in the liver and pancreas. 
   • Research has found that biotin supplementation increases the number of insulin secreting beta cells. The secretion of beta cells increases the production of insulin made in the pancreas to help bring down blood sugar levels when they get too high.
2. Chromium
   
   • Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a key role in supporting healthy blood sugar levels. Chromium’s role in blood sugar balance is done by helping to efficiently transport blood sugar into our body’s cells. Once blood sugar from the foods we eat is delivered to our cells, it can be used for energy. 
   • Studies using 1000 mcg/day of chromium have demonstrated that chromium helps maintain healthy blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity and blood lipids. In a study examining the effects of nutrients on blood sugar and lipid regulation, 43 patients were given 600 mcg of chromium along with 2 mg of biotin per day, or placebo. After four weeks, the combination of chromium and biotin was found to have a significant effect on supporting healthy blood sugar balance.
3. Alpha Lipoic Acid
   
   • Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a nutrient required for cellular metabolism, specifically the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids. 
   • ALA has been shown to support healthy blood sugar balance by activating an enzyme called adenosine mono-phosphate kinase (AMPK). AMPK activates cellular metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity, down- regulating genes involved in fat storage and activating genes involved with burning fat.
   • ALA has also been shown to be beneficial in patients with diabetic neuropathy as well.
4. Cinnamon Bark Extract
   
   • Numerous studies have demonstrated that cinnamon has a beneficial effect on maintaining healthy blood sugar levels 
   • Pro-Glucose Support contains patented Cinnulin®, which is made by a process that extracts the water-soluble components of cinnamon making 500 mg of Cinnulin® equivalent to approximately 10 g of whole cinnamon powder.
   • In a study examining the effects of Cinnulin®, 24 men and women were given 250 mg of Cinnulin®, or a placebo, twice per day. Cinnulin® helped to maintain healthy blood sugar levels in 83% of subjects in the treatment group, compared to 33% in the placebo group.
   • Cinnulin® has also been shown to support healthy body composition by increasing lean body mass while reducing body fat. Healthy body composition is another key component to healthy blood sugar levels and prevention or reversal of diabetes.
5. Vanadyl Sulfate Hydrate
   
   • Vanadyl sulfate comes from the inorganic form of vanadium, a mineral shown to mimic the action of insulin. 
   • In the form of vanadyl sulfate, it is stable and plays a major role in promoting healthy glucose uptake.
   • In one study using 100 mg per day of vanadyl sulfate for three weeks demonstrated an improvement in insulin sensitivity while helping to maintain healthy glucose levels.

Final Takeaways

Pro-Glucose Support offers a targeted approach to achieving healthy blood sugar levels through a blend of clinically researched ingredients. For optimal results, we recommend combining this supplement with a nutrient-rich diet, regular physical activity, and stress management.
