- Blood Sugar Control
Benefits and usages
A fasting blood sugar level above 125 can fall within the diagnostic range for diabetes. This product may be supportive to help maintain blood sugar levels within the normal range.
Gly-Control provides a combination of nutrients for blood sugar support. Alongside adequate exercise and a healthy diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, a number of specific nutrients and herbs have been shown to provide useful nutrition for normal blood sugar levels. Among the best researched are chromium, vanadium, cinnamon, gymnema, bitter melon and Seanol-P®.
How a higher-protein diet supports normal blood sugar
- Slows absorption — protein takes longer to break down in the gut than simple carbohydrates, so glucose enters the bloodstream at a gradual, steady pace.
- Improves satiety — high-protein foods keep you full for longer, helping prevent overeating and sharp energy crashes.
- Supports insulin sensitivity — adequate, balanced protein helps cells respond more effectively to insulin, which the pancreas secretes after meals to facilitate glucose metabolism.
