Product Description

GlycemaCORE - Vanilla Smoothie Boost

GlycemaCORE is an easy-to-prepare drink that helps the body maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Available In: Powder

Clinical Applications

  • Supports Normal Blood Sugar Levels
  • Supports Normal Cardiovascular Function
  • Provides Key Nutrients for Blood Sugar Regulation

Overview

Supporting normal blood sugar levels has become a concern for many in the United States and across the globe. The prevalence of refined sugars and carbohydrates and the low presence of fiber in the Western diet have been directly linked to many of the blood sugar challenges of the 21st century. GlycemaCORE provides a helpful blend of protein, fiber, and key blood sugar supporting micronutrients which work on multiple levels to support the body's response to sugar, signal optimal glucose disposal, reduce glucose absorption, and support microcirculation.

Chromium is added to support GTF (glucose tolerance factor) production, critical for cellular uptake of glucose. GlycemaCOREis available in delicious chocolate or vanilla flavors.

Suggested Use

For the first three days of use, add 1 scoop (15.65 g) of GlycemaCORE to at least 8 oz. of water or the beverage of your choice, stir and drink between or before meals one to three times daily. Increase dose to 2 scoops (31.3 g) of GlycemaCORE after three days, or as recommended by your health care professional.

Ingredient Benefits

Glucomannan

Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that is derived from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials of glucomannan found 2.0- 3.87 g/day significantly balanced total blood fats, reduced body weight by 0.79 kg, and supported normal blood sugar levels.

Arabinogalactan

Larch arabinogalactan is a fermentable polysaccharide fiber from the Larch tree that supports normal immunity by supporting the growth of beneficial gut flora, and strengthening the activity of NK cells. .

Alpha Linolenic Acid

Flax seeds are a generous source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. The organic flax seeds in GlycemaCORE provide a total of 1.3 g of alpha linolenic acid per scoop, while contributing additional protein, lignans and numerous micronutrients.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant which has a potent effect on blood sugar metabolism. Recent studies have shown that ALA's ability to regulate insulin is mediated by its activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which acts as a type of cellular fuel sensor to upregulate activity in the peripheral skeletal muscle; and while in the hypothalamus, downregulates AMPK, thereby, reducing appetite. Other research has found that a dose of 600 mg/day of ALA over 3 months lead to a 36% reduction in blood fats and a 38% improvement in the oxidative stress to oxidative defense ratio.

Chromium

Chromium is a critical element in the molecule called glucose tolerance factor (GTF), a complex shown to be crucial for glucose uptake into the cells. Studies using 1,000 mcg/day of chromium showed a significant improvement in markers of blood sugar balance, and blood fats.

Vanadyl Sulfate

Vanadyl sulfate (VS) stimulates glucose uptake within cells helping to use blood sugar more efficiently and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. VS increases GLUT-4 synthesis, a glucose transport protein which allows glucose to enter the cell. This improved glucose consumption promotes increased muscle cell sensitivity to insulin.
