Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
Source Naturals Gluco-Science is a Bio-Aligned Formula that maintains healthy
blood sugar levels when used as part of your diet. This comprehensive herbal-nutrient
formula goes deep to support multiple, interdependent body systems involved
with healthy glucose metabolism: glucose/carbohydrate metabolism, insulin/pancreatic
activity, the heart and circulatory system, the neurological system, and vision.
The formula features herbs from several traditions, including Gymnema sylvestre,
bitter melon, Pterocarpus marsupium, and bilberry; the minerals chromium, vanadium,
zinc, and selenium; and potent antioxidants such as vitamin E and alpha lipoic
acid.
Gluco-Science Helps Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
GLUCO-SCIENCE is a comprehensive herbal-nutrient formula, based on the newest
clinical research into key herbs and special ingredients. Source Naturals studied
the scientific research, and then designed GLUCO-SCIENCE. This Bio-Aligned Formula
provides targeted nutrition to five different body systems involved with healthy
blood sugar levels and insulin activity.
- Glucose/Carbohydrate Metabolism
GLUCO-SCIENCE supports glucose/carbohydrate metabolism with a range of nutrients.
B-vitamins are required for glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, the metabolic
pathways by which the body converts glucose into cellular energy. Chromium
is believed to work closely with insulin to facilitate the uptake of glucose
into cells. Manganese is also involved in glucose uptake. The formula also
features herbs from several traditions, such as Gymnema sylvestre.
- Insulin/Pancreatic Activity
Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels
after meals. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter cells to provide fuel for
cellular energy. Certain nutrients (see chart) support these vital metabolic
processes, including mediation of insulin release and activity, and enhancing
insulin sensitivity. N-acetyl cysteine protects pancreatic beta cells from
oxidative damage in animal studies. In addition, vanadium, zinc, and selenium
are notable for their insulin-like actions.
- Heart and Circulatory System
Vitamin E supports a healthy lipid status, while myricetin has been shown
in animal studies to influence triglyceride levels. Gymnema sylvestre and
vitamin C are involved with lipid metabolism. Additional heart-healthy ingredients
include CoQ10, garlic, fenugreek, and hawthorn.
- Nervous System
Antioxidants are important for a healthy nervous system. Lipoic acid helps
prevent lipid peroxidation, which can impact nerve function. Many B-vitamins
are vital to the metabolic processes of the nerves or are present in the phospholipids
of cell membranes. Methylcobalamin, an active form of vitamin B-12, supports
the central nervous system. Other supportive ingredients are included (see
chart).
- Vision
GLUCO-SCIENCE provides antioxidants, nutrients and herbs with an affinity
for eyes and the physiological processes involved in sight. Alpha-lipoic acid,
quercetin, and vitamin C support healthy lens function. Bilberry, shown to
support microcirculation in animal studies, is widely recognized for supporting
vision.
