Jarrow Formulas® Glucose Optimizer® is a unique, proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that are scientifically well-characterized to promote healthy sugar metabolism and glycemic balance. A growing body of scientific research shows that proper glycemic balance can significantly improve cardiovascular, immune, and bone health, energy production, metabolism, and overall well-being. This product is intended for people whose blood glucose and insulin levels fluctuate.
Alpha lipoic acid facilitates blood sugar balance and supports overall metabolism through its impact on energy production. Alpha lipoic acid also aids in the synthesis of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant and a critical component of the endogenous antioxidant system.
Banaba, Gymnema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon and Eucalyptus are herbal extracts that affect glucose metabolism. Glycostat® is a patented and scientifically validated wild bitter melon extract, produced from a wild genotype, that promotes healthy blood sugar levels while activating fat metabolism for energy production.
Chromium and Magnesium – Chromium is one of the trace elements necessary for glucose metabolism. Scientific research shows that chromium deficiency is associated with compromised glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, and overweight.
Magnesium – Magnesium deficiency makes it difficult to maintain healthy glucose levels, which can have negative effects on the brain, eyes, and cardiovascular system. Magnesium plays an important role in glucose transport and metabolism.
The B vitamin family is crucial for healthy carbohydrate metabolism and cellular function. For example, Vitamins B1, B5, and B12 help release energy from carbohydrates.
Niacinamide improves the survival of beta cells, which are responsible for insulin secretion. It also protects peripheral organs and blood vessels from oxidation and other damage caused by excess sugar metabolites. Vitamin B6 and Biotin are known for their role in improving insulin secretion and maintaining normal blood sugar levels by regulating glucose production and storage.
Resveratrol protects the cardiovascular system by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, promoting the synthesis of nitric oxide and maintaining the integrity of capillaries. When blood sugar levels fluctuate above normal limits, free radicals in the body increase significantly. The most powerful antioxidants, such as: vitamins C, E, alpha-lipoic acid and resveratrol, can reduce the damage from oxidative stress by minimizing protein glycation and lipid oxidation.
