Do you or do you know someone
with diabetes or blood sugar problems. If so you are
not alone it is estimated that over two million
Canadians have diabetes and of those two million 80
% will die from related conditions. Do you have any
symptoms of diabetes? It is believed that many
people have it and do not know it. This is very
serous situation to be in. Many people don’t even
understand what is going wrong in their body. After
food is digested the starches and sugars are tuned
into glucose. Glucose is used as energy by the body
but first it must get into the cells. Insulin is
produced in the pancreas as a guide to get glucose
to the cells. With type 1 diabetes the pancreas
makes little or no insulin. In the case of type 2
diabetes the body’s cells become resistant to
insulin massages, not accepting the glucose, leaving
it to build up in the blood stream. Over time as the
pancreas continues to try and try to do it’s job, it
can become “burned out “ leaving it unable to
produce insulin.
Diet and exercise can play a very
important role in supporting a body suffering from
blood sugar compilations. Many plants found from
many different regions offer natural compounds,
which greatly help to support and balance the blood
sugar levels found in the body. Glucokare is a very
special formula, which has been created from many of
these beneficial compounds, in this unique
combination it can help:
Improve blood sugar regulation
Enhance insulin production while
lowering blood sugar
Strengthens capillaries
Improves circulation.
Helps limit diabetic neuropathy
Controlling cravings
Alpha lipoic is very unique
antioxant. It is water and fat soluble and extends
the biochemical life of other antioxidant such as
vitamin C and E .In Germany alpha lipoic acid has
been approved as a supplement in the treatment of
diabetic neuropathy. . It can improve blood flow to
the peripheral nerves and regeneration of nerve
fibers. While at the same time improving blood sugar
metabolism and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Chromium is a vital nutrient to
achieve proper blood sugar control. Chromium works
with insulin to help facilitate the absorption of
glucose into the cells. It is believed that a
deficiency of chromium maybe one of the contributing
factoring leading to diabetes, hypoglycemia and
obesity. When chromium is not present insulin action
is blocked and glucose levels become elevated. As
chromium is so impotent to blood sugar health,
natural sourced supplements should always be the
first choice.
Bitter Melon has been used in
Asia for treating many aliments. Upon closer look
bitter melon contains two very important compounds
with have blood sugar regulating properties. Charantin is one; it is believed to be as potent as
some of the hypoglycemic drugs. The other is called
polypeptide-P, which has similar effect to insulin.
These compounds and perhaps other help to regulate
insulin and support glucose metabolism with in the
body.
Gymnema sylvestre is a native
plant form in India that has been used to help both
type 1 and 2 diabetes. One very important action
performed by this herb is it helps the pancreas by
regenerating the beta cells which product insulin.
Gymnema Sylvestre improves the action of insulin and
reduces blood sugar levels in type 1 diabetes. In type 2
diabetes Gymnema enhanced the action of insulin.
Fenugreek seeds have recently gone through some
clinical studies, demonstrating its anti diabetic
effects. Fenugreek seed powder is helpful in both
types of diabetes. In type 1 it significantly
reduces fasting blood sugar and improves glucose
tolerance test results. In type 2 diabetes it
greatly reduced glucose levels during the meal
tolerance test.
Nopal cactus is a traditional Mexican medicine used
to treat diabetes and other blood sugar imbalance.
It lowers glucose fasting levels, while at the same
time increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Nopal cactus is rich in soluble and insoluble fiber.
These fibers also play an important role in weight
reduction. This cactus is considered a nutrient
dense food containing many phyto-nutrients, which
support the body in many different ways.
Banaba has been used in the
Philippines for centuries for treating blood sugar
imbalances. It contains a triterpenoid compound
known as corosolic acid. This acid stimulates
glucose transport into the cells. It also believed
that this acid might delay and reduce the absorption
of carbohydrates
Glucokare contains all of these special ingredients.
They were chosen because they are effective and
safe. Glucokare can be taken by anyone wishing to
aid, support and balance their blood sugar levels.
