Blood Glucose Support is an excellent multi-mineral formula with added cinnamon designed to help regulate blood sugar levels. The key active ingredients are chromium GTF, zinc, magnesium and cinnamon.
- Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and normal macronutrient (protein, fat, carbohydrate) metabolism
- When levels of chromium in the body, and therefore glucose tolerance factor (GTF), are too low, the activity of insulin is blocked – blood glucose levels therefore remain elevated
- Diets high in refined carbohydrates are usually low in zinc, so this mineral has been added to our Blood Glucose Support formulation
- Zinc has many roles in the body – of particular relevance here are its roles in contributing to carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis and protecting cells from oxidative stress
- Copper is combined with zinc to prevent a possible risk of copper deficiency during long-term usage as they compete for the same absorption sites
- Extracts from the bark of the cinnamon tree have been used traditionally as medicine throughout the world
- This supplement uses pure, real Ceylon cinnamon with no detectable levels of coumarin
- This supplement also contains selenium and manganese which protect cells from oxidative stress. We have also included molybdenum
- This supplement can also be used as a multi-mineral formula
