GlucoBuster Ingredients
Based on my own experience, and with the help of natural health practitioners (and of course those research reports!), a special herbal formula was put together early in 2002. It has been aptly named GlucoBuster®. Take a look at some of the ingredients:
Gymnema Sylvestre
Used for centuries to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, this is the original Ayurvedic 'Sugar Destroyer'. In one experiment, it was shown to be helpful in regenerating the pancreas beta cells in lab rats. GlucoBuster® contains a powerful standardized extract believed to be more potent than the traditional formulation.Fenugreek
Clinical studies have shown fenugreek to improve blood sugar control and lipid profile in Type I and Type II diabetic patients.Pterocarpus Marsupium
Like Gymnema Sylvestre, this is a traditional herb that is thought to help rejuvenate the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. It's value has been confirmed by modern research. One group of researchers investigating diabetic rats compared Pterocarpus' observed effects on blood glucose levels to those of metformin, a drug familiar to many diabetics.Bitter Melon (Momordica Charantia)
At least three different compounds in Bitter Melon have been reported to have sugar-regulating properties. Gurmarin, in particular, is a polypeptide considered to be similar to bovine insulin.American Ginseng
A very popular herb in Chinese medicine. Recent studies have shown that Ginseng may be helpful in reducing blood sugar levels in Type II diabetic patients.Bilberry
A powerful antioxidant that helps to promote circulation in the eyes. Studies on diabetic dogs have also indicated benefits in reducing blood sugar levels. Standardized at 25% anothocyanins for maximum potency.Holy Basil
Human trials of the leaves of this herb suggest that it may be useful in helping to lower blood sugar levels for Type II diabetic patients.Swertia Chirayita
One recent comparative study showed this herb as having a more potent blood sugar lowering effect than Tolbutamide (a prescription drug!) on a group of diabetic lab rats. It is extremely rare, and GlucoBuster® is one of the only supplements available that contains it.Glucosol
This is a standardized extract of the Banaba plant has been shown to help maintain normal transport of blood glucose into the cells. This method of action is thought to be unique when compared to many other herbal supplements.Chromium
Part of the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) molecule, and important component in blood sugar metabolism. We use the safer (and less controversial) Polynicotinate form.
In all, GlucoBuster® contains 13 ingredients, each of which has proven itself valuable in the research that I've studied. A bibliography of references is available elsewhere on this site to help verify the work that went into the formula's creation.
