Gluco-Science for Healthy Blood Sugar Levels 60 tabs from Source Naturals

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

• 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.
