Carbohydrate metabolism support

For the beneficial effects, the blood glucose level must be kept stable. This means that we don't leave a chance for swings - we don't allow our blood to become saturated with sugar, because then it will quickly empty out and result in too low a sugar level. This will cause malaise, nausea, dizziness and other discomforts.

In addition to keeping glucose and insulin levels in balance, we need to help the pancreas function and improve the process of carbohydrate metabolism. Now we will show you which lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements can help the process.

In addition, we also offer herbs containing antioxidants that protect the pancreas from damage. This helps prevent insulin resistance, diabetes and other metabolic complications.

A balanced blood glucose level is also associated with a balanced nervous system. Did you ever have a low blood glucose level? Then you definitely know how nerve-wracking it can be. We show you what you can do about it!

For rock solid blood glucose

We need to clarify the main rule: the main way to keep blood sugar stable is diet! You can balance your blood glucose with awesome food supplements, but if you consume too many carbohydrates at once, all the supplements in the world won't be enough for you.¹ Of course, this does not mean that they should only be used if we follow the diet. Blood glucose balancers help in one way or another, but they are worth exponentially more if our diet is also appropriate.

The "five commandments" of healthy blood sugar levels:

1. Eat 5-6 times a day, gradually distributed.
2. Make sure that there is a source of protein in every meal.
3. Eat lots of fiber - that means lots of vegetables.
4. Drink plenty of water (at least 3 liters per day).
5. Avoid foods with added sugar.

If you have these, then our blood sugar balancing food supplements can help a lot! To understand their effects, let's take the basics:

In order for sugar to be used up - that is, for it to enter the cells - a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas, is required. In many cases, the insulin-sensing receptors can also be damaged (this is insulin resistance)² or the pancreas can also be damaged, in which case it will not be able to produce an adequate amount of insulin (this is diabetes).³

The best blood glucose stabilizing supplements:

1. Cinnamon extract: its active ingredients increase insulin sensitivity⁴ and also protect the pancreas.⁵ Therefore, cinnamon extract stabilizes the blood sugar level by acting on both roots of the cause and thus preserves our health. A super-healthy sugar metabolism supporter that also has the detoxifying power of antioxidants.⁶
2. American ginseng: according to studies, it can reduce blood sugar levels by 20% 40 minutes before a meal.^7,8 It’s also a powerful antioxidant bomb.⁹
3. Fibers: Soluble fibers slow down the absorption and digestion of food, thereby reducing the blood sugar-raising effect of the meal. Not to mention that a high fiber intake also makes you feel fuller. Therefore, it is recommended to use a prebiotic, i.e. a fiber preparation, before the meal with the highest carbohydrate content. As you know, the beneficial bacteria in the gut are responsible for fermenting the indigestible fibers for our body.¹²
4. Probiotics: As we explained, fibers reduce the absorption of carbohydrates. However, what if we don't have enough gut bacteria to digest the fiber? Then the fiber is worthless! That is why it is (also) worth supporting the health of our intestinal flora with a probiotic preparation containing healthy bacteria. Make sure that it is packed in a cellulose capsule, because otherwise, the stomach acid will kill the bacterias that want to get inside. In addition, probiotics also have anti-inflammatory and pancreatic protective properties.^10,11
5. Chromium: Chromium is needed for insulin to work - that is, for sugar to enter the cells.¹³ Therefore chromium is an essential mineral that helps to balance blood sugar levels.
6. Apple cider vinegar: stimulates the production of insulin and the entry of sugar into cells, and also has detoxifying (antioxidant) effects. This helps to keep the blood sugar level in balance.¹⁹

Antioxidants for a healthy pancreas

As we mentioned earlier, antioxidants have detoxifying properties. In other words, they protect against cell-damaging free radicals, which can also cause damage to the cells of the pancreas. Damage to the cells of the pancreas can increase insulin resistance and the risk of diabetes (type two). Therefore, we must do everything we can to protect the pancreas.

Free radicals take away an electron (a negatively charged particle, i.e. a building block of cells) - it's like removing the base of a house of cards. A chain reaction starts, in which tissues can be damaged. Since the abundance of free radicals can cause damage in various ways and degrees, we are looking above all for food supplements that can provide extensive protection against free radicals.

Antioxidants protect against these toxins, which either provide electrons or strengthen the defense processes of our body (the main enzyme of which is glutathione).

Antioxidants highlighted for the protection of the pancreas^14-18:

• Resveratrol: the most powerful active ingredient in grape seed, it is not only a strong antioxidant, but also a strong anti-aging agent, as it can increase the amount of genetic material (DNA) in addition to detoxification.
• NAC: strengthens the body's own detoxification processes - that is, it stimulates the activity of an enzyme called glutathione.
• Quercetin: protects the pancreas by neutralizing free radicals. It enhances the effect of resveratrol.

Based on these, the 5 best supplements for healthy blood sugar levels:

1. BLOOD SUGAR SPECIFICS WITH CINNAMON & CHROMIUM (60 CAPSULES)
2. PREBIOTIC BIFIDO BOOST™ (85 G)
3. BIO CULTURES COMPLEX 40 BILLION (60 VEG CAPSULES)
4. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (60 GUMMIES, STRAWBERRY WATERMELON)
5. TRANS-RESVERATROL 100 MG (60 VEGGIE CAPSULES)

Attention! In addition to drug treatment, it may happen that the blood glucose level drops too much as a result of nutritional supplements. That's why it's important to consult a doctor before starting any new nutritional supplement routine.
