This synergistic product was designed to maintain steady blood sugar levels. GlucoSupremeTM Herbal is ideal for patients with insulin and glucose-related conditions. It combines some of the most well-researched botanicals for blood sugar management (Gymnema, Fennugreek, Bana- ba, Cinnamon, and American ginseng), with unique herbals (Salacia and Kudzu), which have more recently emerged in the literature demonstrat- normal subjects and those with metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
It contains standardized compounds such as corosolic acid from Banaba, ginsenosides from Ginseng and saponins from Fennugreek. Cinnamon naturally contains chromium and polyphenols proven to have direct ef- fects on insulin signaling and glucose control. Our specially chosen Cin- namon cassia extract is bio-assayed for alpha-amylase inhibition, as is the on both leptin and insulin signaling. Leptin (from the Greek word leptos meaning thin) is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism.
More about Salacia
Salacia (Salacia oblonga) roots have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for diabetes and obesity since antiquity. Recent phar- macological studies have demonstrated that Salacia roots modulate multiple targets: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha-mediated lipogenic gene transcription, angiotensin II/angiotensin II type 1 receptor, alpha-glucosidase, aldose reductase and pancreatic lipase. These multi- target actions may mainly contribute to the reported Salacia root-induced improvement of type-2 diabe-tes and obesity-associated hyperglycemia, dyslipi- demia and related cardiovascular complications.
A large body of data from cellular, biochemical, mouse and human genetic and chemical inhibitor studies have identified Protien Tyrosine Phosphatace 1B (PTP 1B) as a major regulator of both leptin and insulin signaling. Available research evidence suggests that leptin and insulin action can be enhanced by the inhibition of PTP 1B. Consequently, PTB 1B has emerged as an attractive novel target for the treatment of both obesity and type-2 diabetes. The link between PTP 1B, obesity and diabetes has lead to an avalanch of research dedicated to finding inhibitors of this 1 phosphatase enzyme, including Salacia.
Fennugreek
Fennugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) has a long history of many uses in Indian and Chinese medicine. Data from pre-clinical studies suggest that fennugreek possesses both acute and chronic hypoglycemic proporties. Concomitant use with other hypoglycemic agents may lower serum glucose more dramatically and levels should be monitored closely. A study in trained male cyclists revealed that fennugreek seeds may increase muscle glycogen concentration immediately post exercise, thereby lowering serum glucose by stimulating muscle glucose uptake. Fennugreek may also slow the absorption of glucose, and other simple carbohydrates, - lesterol, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (10-13).
American ginseng
Various studies report a blood sugar-lowering effect of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) in idividuals with type 2 diabetes, both on fasting blood glucose and on poetprandial glucose levels. Research is ongoing to evaluate long-term efficacy of American ginseng in treating type 2 dibetes compared to standard oral hypoglycemic drugs. AMerican ginseng is difficult to cultivate, however, Canada now grows more American ginseng than any other country. In the United States, most American ginseng is cultivated in Wisconsin.
Gymnema
Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) leaves have been used for more than 2000 years in India to treat madhu, or "honey urine." Preliminary human evidence suggests the gymnema may be efficacious for the management of serum glucose levels in type 1 and type 2 diabetes and as an adjunct to conventional drug therapy. Gymnema appears to lower serum glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels following chronic use, but may not have a significant acute effects (17-19) There is also early evidence suggesting possible efficacy of gymnema as a lipid-lowering agent (20)
Banaba
Banaba (Lagerstrromia speciosa) is a medicinal plant that grows in India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. The main mechanism of the hypoglycemic effect of banaba leaf extract is similar to that if insulin, in that it iduces glucose transport from the blood into body cells to be burned as energy. Currently, research suggests that orally administered banaba extract, standarized to 1% corosolic acid, lowers blood sugar in people with type-2 diabetes. The Banaba chosen for GlucoSupreme Herbal is standardized to 1% corosolic acid.
Kudzu
Kudzu (Pueraria Lobata) orginated in China and was brought to the United States from Japan in the late 1800's. It is distributed throughout much of the eastern United States and is most common in the southern part of the continent. Type 2 diabetes is typically preceded by insulin resistance, so reversing insukin resistance may lesson chances of developing type 2 diabetes. In a recent study of seventy-six patients with coronary heart disease the authors concluded that kudza may improve insulin resistance and insulin resistance-related lipid and fibrinolytic activity abnormality
Cinnamon
Our specially chosen Cinnamon cassia extract is bio-assayed for alpha-amylase inhibition, as is Salacia, and is standardized to a significant content of bioactive polyphenols. It is also kosher certified. Some of the best research was done using the cassia type cinnamon. The chromium and polyphenols natuarally found in cinnamon have been shown to have the following mechanisms of action:
Trigger insulin cascade by initiating phosphorylation at the insulin receptor
Improve insulin-regulated glucose utilization
Enhance insulin signaling in skeletal muscle
Aid glucose to glycogen conversion
The antioxidant proporties of cinnamon also make it efficacious for subjects with metobolic syndrome and diabetes, both of which are inflammatory disorders resulting in excessive oxidative stress.
