Diabetes is a chronic condition that impedes the body's production and/or proper use of insulin, a hormone vital to normal metabolism. When left untreated, diabetes can result in severe complications, including limb amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and premature death. The good news is that diabetes is controllable.

RESEARCH:
Scientists have long recognized the remarkable health benefits of cinnamon. More recently, researchers developed Cinnulin, the potent yet safe extract of cinnamon. Numerous recent scientific studies have demonstrated the remarkable health benefits of bioactive compounds found in cinnamon. Results have shown that Cinnulin, the only clinically tested and validated cinnamon extract, supports healthy glucose management, helps optimize healthy cholesterol levels and bolsters healthy blood pressure. Concentration of 10:1 extract Cinnamon (Cassia cinnamonum) known commercially as the Cinnulin is one of the ingredients most used right now to treat diabetes. Essential oils contained in the bark of cinnamon (cassia cinnamonum), a rare type of cinnamon tree proved to be the Holy Grail in treating diabetes. The active ingredient is a water soluble polyphenol called MHCP which mimics insulin, activates its receptors and stimulates the processes between them.

Studies have also found that extracts of cinnamon improve glucose metabolism and promote healthy blood levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol in people with Type 2 diabetes. Recent study results have also shown that Cinnulin, one of the the key ingredients in Gluko-Kare stimulates glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis to a similar level as insulin. Alpha-lipoic acid is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and is an excellent adjunct in treating diabetes

Bitter melon extract concentration of 10:1 (Momordica charantia) helps in reducing blood sugar by 15-20% measured after a meal. Bitter Melon, also known as Bitter Gourd, has been traditionally used to regulate blood sugar levels within the normal limits. It contains active components such as charantin, vicine, and polypeptide-p. Bitter Melon is also a natural source of Vitamin C and antioxidants.

STUDIES:
A study was conducted with type 2 diabetes patients who were treated with cinnamon 3 times a day. All patients responded to treatment within 2-3 weeks with average blood glucose level decreasing by 20% and some patients have even reached normal blood glucose levels. After the treatment was stopped, the blood glucose level has not returned to baseline immediately but slowly, after a while. The study also revealed an acceleration of metabolism to burn glucose and turning it into energy at the cellular level.

INTERACTIONS AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Individuals taking medications, including those prescribed to lower blood sugar levels, should consult their health care practitioner before use.
