Product Composition



Our product contains the combination of natural ingredients used to maintain balance of blood glucose metabolism and body weight. The imbalance of glucose metabolism usually leads to diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). The high blood glucose in the blood can nullify the proportion of electrolyte in the body. Imbalance of glucose level does not only cause diabetes risk but can also influence inflammation, cholesterol patterns and heart disease This combination supports healthy blood glucose level in following way:-
⇒ By improving insulin sensitivity (increase glucose uptake by cells). Insulin sensitivity is defined as a resistance to hormone insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar level
⇒ By inhibiting glucose-6-phosphate in liver (G-6-Phosphate increase the production of glucose in liver)
⇒ By decreasing the absorption of glucose



Ivy Gourd Extract


Coccinia grandis, the ivy gourd, also called as baby watermelon. It is a wonderful natural
plant having anti-diabetic activity. It appears to mimic insulin. It depresses gluconeogenesis
by inhibiting enzyme such as glucose-6-phosphatase. The triterpene constituent of ivy gourd
leaves also posses anti-diabetic activity and lowers cholesterol and improves metabolic function.



Gymnema Sylvestre:


Gymnema sylvestre extracts derives from the leaves of a climbing plant native to the forests of
central and south Asia. It contains glycosides called as gymnemic acids that blocks absorption of
sugar in intestine and stimulate insulin release from pancreas.
It is well known as a sugar destroyer. It masks the tongue's ability to taste sweet food and helps
to reduce sugar cravings, but when administered internally it controls blood sugar level.
⇒ Helps to regulate healthy glucose metabolism
⇒ Supports healthy blood sugar levels and
⇒ Maintains weight



Fenugreek:

Fenugreek is a tall annual herb that is native to the Mediterranean, Ukraine and India. Fenugreek is
high in soluble fiber which helps lower blood sugar by slowing digestion and absorption
of carbohydrates.
⇒ Helps regulate blood glucose
⇒ Stimulates insulin secretion
Mechanism:

⇒ Fenugreek contains an amino acid called 4-hydroxyisoleucine. This amino acid may stimulate the secretion of insulin from pancreas
⇒ Another component called feugreekine, which lowers blood glucose levels by inhibiting the glucose transport.



Black Pepper:

It is the fruit of black pepper plant belonging to family piperaceae. Protein glycation is a process in which sugar molecules bond to protein molecules without enzymatic control. The result is the accumulation of end products that speed aging and the degeneration caused by diabetes. Scientists from the National Institute of Nutrition in India evaluated the ability of black pepper to prevent the accumulation of advanced glycation end products. The same research team investigated the ability of plants to modify aldose reductase activity, one of the mechanisms implicated in the development of various secondary complications of diabetes. Extract of black pepper showed considerable inhibitory potential.
Black pepper has also been shown to substantially increase the bioavailability of nutrients from food and supplements by stimulating amino-acid transporters in the intestinal lining which regulates enzymes that metabolize nutritional substances, and inhibits the removal of substances from cells. Each of these actions allows nutrients to enter and remain within their target cells for longer periods of time than would normally be the case.
Black pepper also possesses antioxidant activity due to its phenolic compounds.



Alpha Lipoic Acid:

It is a potent antioxidant that prevents against oxidative stress. It can act in both water soluble and fat soluble domains. It is useful in diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage in the body caused by diabetes) and prevent against the oxidative stress. High glucose levels are more prone to oxidative stress which may lead to complications of disease.
Mechanism:
It prevents damage by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. Due to the property of acting in both water soluble and fat soluble, it is easily absorbed and transported into system within the body. Alpha lipoic acid can protect cells and neurons involved in hormone production so it protects against diabetes neuropathy.



Chromium:

It is an essential trace mineral for human nutrition that is used for normal functioning of insulin. It contains GTF (glucose tolerance factor) that prevent diabetes. It is mainly needed to process glucose and boosts enzyme that makes possible for liver to utilize glucose. Chromium is known for:-
⇒ Lowering blood sugar level
⇒ Improving insulin sensitivity



Biotin:

It is a vitamin like substance known as vitamin B7 which improves blood sugar regulation. Biotin in combination with chromium may lower blood sugar levels.
Mechanism:
Biotin activates enzymes called carboxylases that are important for sugar metabolism and release of insulin. It also stimulates expression of genes important to maintain glycemic control. Along with chromium, research has shown that biotin is actually essential to regulating metabolism of carbohydrates, and in fact may help diabetics control blood sugar levels.
