I have been using the GlucoSuprs Hrx for the last 2 months along with my prescribed diabetic medication. There was one instance I forgot my medication at home and substituted this herb in place of it. When I tested my blood sugar a few hours later, it was in normal range! It decreases my appetite, makes me crave less sweets and I have so much more energy during the day. I would recommend this product to all diabetics who sometimes need a little extra help controlling their blood sugar.

Herbal Destination is presenting a study that compares the performance of Gluco X, a herbal supplement product that is primarily made up of (herbs) Gymnema, Bitter Melon, Salacia, Fenugreek, Jambolan and Cinnamon (Gluco X and our GlucoSuprs Hrx have similar ingredients) and a commonly used conventional drug for blood sugar support. The following trials were conducted for a total of 6 months at Banaras Hindu University in India, using the Gluco X product and a control group taking a conventional drug. Both groups are made to follow the same dietary guidelines—
When a convention drug is used the fasting Blood Glucose levels came down by 26% in 3 months and by 38% in 6 months in the control group of 14 people.— For the group of 17 that were given the Gluco X (herbal) product, the blood Glucose levels came down by 20% in 3 months and by 24% in 6 months approximately.

I currently control my diabetes with diet and exercise. I am just wondering what others have experienced with this tea. Since I’m not on any medication, would I still run the risk of going hypoglycemic?

• This formulation uses ChromeMate®, a patented oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium complex.
• 600% more effective than chromium chloride.
• 300% more effective than chromium picolinate.
• May improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels.
• Used to help with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Product Description
Chromium is at the heart of a biologically active complex called Glucose Tolerance Factor or “”GTF”", which is responsible for potentiating (increasing) the action of insulin in the body. Insulin is a vital hormone responsible for transporting glucose inside cells and maintaining proper blood sugar and blood lipid (cholesterol) levels in the body. Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty-fold.

Product Description
Raizana tea combines great taste and the herbal properties that help promote good health.

Gymnema sylvestre is a herb native to the tropical forests of southern and central India where it has been used as a naturopathic treatment for diabetes for nearly two millennia. Gymnema helps raise the level of insulin in the blood, helping the body control blood sugar.

Gymnema reduces the taste of sugar when it is placed in the mouth, thus some use it to fight sugar cravings; this effect lasts up to about two hours.

Bitter melon has been traditionally used in various Asian traditional medicine systems. Like most bitter-tasting foods, bitter melon stimulates digestion. While this can be helpful in people with sluggish digestion, dyspepsia, and constipation. Studies indicate that bitter melon increases insulin sensitivity and can lower elevated blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon (cassia) has been reported to have remarkable pharmacological effects in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.*

• Lowers Blood Sugar 120 Capsules
• 100% All natural dietary supplement
• Helps insulin action
• Great for diabetics or hyperglycemic people
• Promotes sugar intake and metabolism

Product Description
Bitter melon contains many elements that have blood sugar lowering effects. One characteristic of bitter melon is its ability to act like insulin for the intake of sugars from the blood into the cells. Once sugars are in the cells instead of the blood, the sugars can be metabolized and prevented from accumulating in the blood to potentially develop diabetes. In addition, bitter melon prevents stored nutrients from converting into sugar and accumulating in the blood. Many different studies have shown that people who take bitter melon supplements have measured lower blood sugar levels after the supplement.

Bitter Melon – Benefits, Uses, and Research for Diabetes and HIV
By Dr Rav Davis

Bitter Melon – Benefits, Medicinal Properties

Bitter Melon is reported to help in the treatment of diabetes and psoriasis. It has also been reported that Bitter Melon may help in the treatment of HIV

Bitter Melon is the English name of Momordica charantia. Bitter Melon is also known by the names Karela and Bitter gourd. Bitter Melon grows in tropical areas, including parts of East Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and South America, where it is used as a food as well as a medicine. It is a green cucumber shaped fruit with gourd-like bumps all over it. It looks like an ugly, light green cucumber. The fruit should be firm, like a cucumber. And it tastes very bitter. Although the seeds, leaves, and vines of Bitter Melon have all been used, the fruit is the safest and most prevalent part of the plant used medicinally. The leaves and fruit have both been used occasionally to make teas and beer, or to season soups in the Western world.

Does bitter melon have medicinal properties?

Bitter Melon was traditionally used for a dazzling array of conditions by people in tropical regions. Numerous infections, cancer, leukemia, and diabetes are among the most common conditions it was believed to improve. Bitter Melon is reported to help in the treatment of diabetes and psoriasis. It has also been thought that Bitter Melon may help in the treatment of HIV, but the evidence thus far is too weak to even consider. The ripe fruit of Bitter Melon has been suggested to exhibit some remarkable anti-cancer effects, but there is absolutely no evidence that it can treat cancer. However, preliminary studies do appear to confirm that Bitter Melon may improve blood sugar control in people with adult-onset (type 2) diabetes.

Is it true that bitter melon capsules are effective in lowering blood sugar of diabetics?

The blood lowering action of the fresh juice of the unripe Bitter Melon has been confirmed in scientific studies in animals and humans. At least three different groups of constituents in Bitter Melon have been reported to have hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) or other actions of potential benefit in diabetes mellitus. These include a mixture of steroidal saponins known as charantin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids. It is still unclear which of these is most effective or if all three work together. Nonetheless, Bitter Melon preparations have been shown to significantly improve glucose tolerance without increasing blood insulin levels, and to improve fasting blood glucose levels.

Rich in iron, bitter melon has twice the beta carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, twice the potassium of bananas, and contains vitamins C and B 1 to 3, phosphorus and good dietary fiber. It is believed to be good for the liver and has been proven by western scientists to contain insulin, act as an anti-tumor agent, and inhibit HIV-1 infection.

At least 32 active constituents have been identified in bitter melon so far, including beta-sitosterol-d-glucoside, citrulline, GABA, lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin. Nutritional analysis reveals that bitter melon is also rich in potassium, calcium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C.

Even more effective than a conventional drug in lowering blood sugar!

Recently, the Department of Health in the Philippines has recommended bitter melon as one of the best herbal medicines for diabetic management. And multiple clinical studies have clearly established the role of bitter melon in people with diabetes. Scientists have now identified three groups of constituents that are thought to be responsible for its ‘blood sugar lowering’ action.

One of these, a compound called charantin, which is composed of mixed steroids, was found to be more effective than the oral hypoglycaemic drug, tolbutamide, in reducing blood sugar.

Another, an insulin-like polypeptide, called polypeptide P, appears to lower blood sugar in type I (insulin dependent) diabetics, while alkaloids present in the fruit have also been noted to have a blood sugar lowering effect. As yet, researchers are unclear as to which of these compounds is most effective or if it is the synergistic effect of all three. Further research is required to understand how these compounds actually work.

Compounds known as oleanolic acid glycosides have been found to improve glucose tolerance in Type II (maturity onset) diabetics by preventing the absorption of sugar from the intestines. Bitter melon has also been reported to increase the number of beta cells (cells that secrete insulin) in the pancreas, thereby improving your body’s capability to produce insulin (insulin promotes the uptake of sugar from your blood by cells and tissues).

Evidence:

A two-day Indian study published in 1999 examined bitter melon’s effect on 100 people with type 2 diabetes. On both days, researchers tested the participants’ blood sugar levels in a fasting state and after drinking glucose. Participants took 150 to 200 mi of bitter melon extract on the second day. That day, researchers found that 86 percent of the participants experienced an average 14 percent drop in blood sugar after fasting and after drinking glucose.
