Our blood sugar support formula is built around a synergistic blend of functional mushrooms, botanicals, nutrients, and cannabinoids, each selected for its evidence-based benefits in maintaining healthy glucose metabolism and metabolic function.
- Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mycelium (300mg) is rich in -glucans, which have demonstrated the ability to enhance insulin sensitivity and promote glucose uptake in peripheral tissues [1]. Studies have shown Maitake extracts can significantly lower blood glucose in both animal models and human trials [2].
- Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mycelium (100mg) contributes additional metabolic support through its adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Research indicates Reishi can help reduce oxidative stress and modulate insulin signaling, which may be beneficial for glycemic control [3, 4]. Similarly,
- Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) mycelium (100mg) is a potent antioxidant with demonstrated antidiabetic activity in preclinical models, potentially aiding -cell protection and reducing insulin resistance [5].
- Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) bark extract (100mg) is one of the most well-researched botanicals for blood sugar regulation. It contains bioactive compounds such as cinnamaldehyde and polyphenols, which can mimic insulin activity, lower fasting glucose, and improve HbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes [6, 7].
- Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) (100mg) is included for its berberine content, a compound shown to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), thereby improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in a manner comparable to certain conventional glucose-lowering therapies in some trials. [8, 9].
- Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) (20mg) may support diabetes management and prevention due to its potential to improve insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar levels, and aid in weight management. It contains antioxidants like EGCG, which may help the body utilize glucose more efficiently. Studies suggest that regular green tea consumption, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may be beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes and those at risk. [10, 11].
- The inclusion of Chromium (200mcg) addresses the well-documented role of this trace mineral in potentiating insulin action and improving glucose tolerance, particularly in individuals with insulin resistance [12].
- Finally, CBD (Cannabidiol) (20mg, THC <0.001%) offers potential antidiabetic benefits by modulating inflammatory pathways, reducing oxidative stress, and interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which is increasingly recognized for its role in glucose homeostasis [13, 14]. While clinical research on CBD for blood sugar regulation is still emerging, early studies suggest it may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce neuropathic complications associated with diabetes.
