Glucose Guardian

This formula is a blend of herbs intended to support blood sugar and metabolic function. Gymnema can block sugar receptors on the tongue, which reduces sugar cravings and makes sweet foods less appealing. It also helps block sugar absorption in the intestines and may stimulate insulin production. (1, 2)  Holy Basil has been shown in studies to help lower fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels and may improve insulin resistance. (3)  Blueberry leaf has demonstrated in clinical trials an ability to lower blood sugar and plasma triglycerides. Studies have shown that cinnamon can improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood glucose levels. (4)
