Gymnema Sylvestre is standardized for gymnemic acid content and has been shown to enhance pancreatic beta cell activity and reproduction, thereby improving endogenous insulin output.

Vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) is a salt that has demonstrated insulin-like effects on glucose metabolism. Vanadium appears to enhance insulin receptors at tissue receptor sites. Vanadium improves insulin sensitivity in NIDDM patients.

Chromium has been shown to enhance glucose metabolism and transport. insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle and fat cells. Beneficial effects have also been noted on the serum lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol.

Alpha R-Lipoic Acid improves insulin resistance in NIDDM patients. Alpha Lipoic Acid favorably influences the glucose transport proteins GLUT1 and GLUT4, thereby enhancing glucose uptake and utilization.

Biotin is a B vitamin that has been shown to have insulin-like effects and enhances glucose uptake at the insulin receptor site.

Fenugreek Seed and Momordica (charantin) are natural herbal concentrates have demonstrated improved glucose tolerance and improved glycemic control. Both herbs have been shown to reduce elevated serum glucose levels.

Inositol acts as an activator of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy mechanisms. It is reported to aid in glycogen utilization, fat metabolism (lipotrophic effect), and oxidative phosphorylation. These actions benefit diabetics through enhanced glucose utilization, fat metabolism, and improved energy production through efficient ATP production.

Quercetin and Rutin are flavonoids that have been shown to act as antioxidants protecting lipids from oxidation (lipid peroxidation). They also quench the peroxide free radical. Mast cell stabilization and reduction of release of inflammatory mediators is also a benefit of quercetin and rutin.

Bilberry Extract with its anthocyanidin pigments has been shown to protect delicate optic structures. Vaccinium extracts can help lower the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.

Cinnamon Extract: Many studies have shown that cinnamon extract may have positive effects on blood glucose and lipid levels of patients with insulin insensitivity. Cinnamon appears to slow the rate at which the stomach empties after carbohydrate rich meals, leading to a reduction in blood sugar spikes. Cinnamon may also improve cellular insulin response. In addition, cinnamaldehyde, another component of cinnamon extract, has been documented as having anti-clotting activity.

Corosolic Acid is a substance extracted from the banaba leaf. Corosolic acid is known as an insulin-like principle because of its ability to assist in blood sugar regulation. It is believed that corosolic acids positive effects on blood sugar are via facilitation of GLUT-4 translocation.
