Glucose Support is a blend of ingredients believed to support all aspects of blood sugar metabolism. Glucose Support is a formula based on science and backed by quality ingredients. Cardiovitamins® believes it is the first choice when choosing a supplement for supporting healthy blood sugar levels. The most important ingredients of this comprehensive formula include Chromium Polynicotinate, Lagerstroemia spediosa, Bitter melon, and Gymnema sylvestre. Chromium Polynicotinate is an essential trace mineral that helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Chromium is not made by the body and must be obtained from the diet. It is thought that chromium plays a role in assisting insulin to allow glucose to enter cells and provide the cell with energy. Cardiovitamins® believes polynicotinate is the most absorbable and bioavailable form of chromium. Food sources of chromium include brewer’s yeast, beef, liver, eggs, chicken, oysters, wheat germ, green peppers, apples, banana, and spinach.Lagerstroemia speciosa leaf extract comes from a Southeast Asian tree also known as banaba. Although long used in the Philippines for treatment of diabetes, it gained the attention of scientists world-wide in the 1990s. Numerous studies consistently supported the antidiabetic activity of banaba, such as helping to lower blood sugar levels and aiding glucose uptake by cells. Bitter Melon fruit extract comes from a bitter-tasting fruit grown in tropical areas including East Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. A variety of compounds have been identified that possess blood sugar-lowering activity and clinical studies have supported the benefit of bitter melon to aid healthy blood sugar levels. Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing plant that grows in the tropical forests of central and southern India. It has been used in India for the treatment of diabetes for over 2,000 years. The active compounds, known as gymnemic acids, have been shown to raise insulin levels and reduce glucose absorption from the intestines improving uptake of glucose into the cells, which can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels
