Enhanced Cinsulin® with Glucose Management Proprietary Blend
90 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number:
01267

Unregulated and elevated blood sugar can present future problems if not taken seriously and managed vigorously through diet and exercise. Studies reveal that even active, health-conscious adults can experience higher than desired blood sugar levels as they age. In addition to a proper diet and regular exercise, certain minerals and plant-based nutrients, such as the extracts from cinnamon, coffee berry, green tea, and banaba leaf, and water-soluble quercetin, can help support healthy blood sugar levels in aging adults.*

Enhanced Cinsulin® with Glucose Management Proprietary Blend combines concentrated amounts of the following bioactive compounds in one convenient formula:

  • Cinsulin® is a standardized type-A polymer water extract (bark) of Cinnamomum cassia.  In addition to supporting healthy glucose metabolism, cinnamon has been shown to support levels of lipids such as triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that are already within normal ranges.1-2
  • Chromium is a critical cofactor for glucose control, helping to transport blood sugar (glucose) into cells, and thereby supporting already-normal insulin action. Chromium 454™ is a highly bioavailable, water-soluble form of chromium that allows for enhanced absorption and utilization of this critical mineral.3 The formula’s Glucose Management Proprietary Blend offers standardized concentrations of plant extracts that have been shown to support glucose metabolism:
  • Quercetin is a vegetable-derived bioflavonoid that helps to regulate the pro-inflammatory cytokines that are so prevalent in those with higher glucose levels.4 
  • CoffeeBerry® Forte extract contains chlorogenic acid that inhibits glucose-6-phosphatase, an enzyme involved in the conversion of glycogen (stored sugar) to blood glucose, thus helping to maintain already-normal glucose metabolism.5-8 
  • Green tea extract, rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has been shown in human and animal studies to support healthy glucose metabolism.9 
  • GlucoHelp™ is a patented banaba extract standardized for corosolic acid, which has been shown in laboratory, animal, and human studies to support healthy or normal glucose metabolism.
