Gly Control

Gly Control — Nutritional and Herbal Support of Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

• If doctors were asked to name what the most widespread disease on the earth today is, many would answer correctly – high blood sugar.

• Before one actually has a clinically diagnosable high blood sugar condition, one has already become a sugar burner, which leads to fat storage and other health challenges.

• Approximately 90 million Americans are in the sugar-burning mode, which is a fat-storing mode, and which is a precursor to Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance or high blood sugar, which are essentially synonymous.

• Nutritional biochemists say that high blood sugar is a disease that hastens aging and most all other diseases, through glycation (cross-linking of proteins). High blood sugar affects otherwise healthy people and those who have virtually every other disease, too. Those with begin to have high blood sugar early in life, live an average of 16 years less than those who don’t have high blood sugar.

• In other words, high blood sugar is a great destroyer, both of life and quality of life. High blood sugar is to be avoided as much as scurvy, rickets, or beriberi. That's why we offer this product to help everyone to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Along with excellent nutrition, this is a fantastic supportive product.

Because of the magnitude of numbers of people dealing with high blood sugar, it was worth our attention to offering a supportive product for the systems of our body that are responsible for managing and controlling blood sugar. Our glycemic support product takes advantage of scientific research into herbs that many world cultures have known for centuries. This product is a formulation of such natural herbs with additional supplements that provide support for normal blood sugar levels along with a proper daily diet.

Here are some of the important herbal ingredients in our Glycemic Support Product

• Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract — this Ayurvedic medicinal botanical has been used for over 2,000 years by Ayurvedic practitioners with persons exhibiting symptoms that today we associate with high blood sugar. The leaves of Gymnema Sylvestre perform two significant functions relative to healthy blood sugar. First, they suppress blood glucose by helping prevent its absorption from the intestines. Secondly, they are insulin-tropic, i.e. they promote insulin secretion. Through these two actions, Gymnema Sylvestre may be a valuable aid in support of healthy blood sugar levels. Scientists think its active ingredients (Gymnemic acids) protect the cells of the pancreas from free radical damage, so allowing them to regenerate and produce insulin more effectively. Studies have shown that Gymnema can also reduce glucose absorption from the intestine, so helping to regulate blood sugar levels. A recent Harvard study indicates the Gymnema lowers blood sugar levels in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. A recent King's College, London, the study states that Gymnema acts by increasing cell permeability, therefore reducing insulin resistance.

• Bitter Melon — has been used for hundreds of years by Chinese health practitioners but has just been recognized recently by Western scientists as being useful in glycemic support. Four compounds in bitter melon perform a very similar action to exercise, that is they move glucose transporters to the cell membrane surface, a very important action for helping blood sugar to be removed out of the cell. The consumption of bitter melon can help your cells move glucose to your liver and muscles and get it out of the bloodstream. It contains significant amounts of Vitamins A and C, which help it neutralize free radicals.

• Goat’s Rue (also known as French Lilac) — scientists first learned that Goat’s Rue could have blood sugar-lowering effects in 1920. Metformin is derived from this flowering plant. Scientists have also learned that Goat's Rue helps blood platelets from clumping together, inhibits microbial growth, and promotes weight loss. It is also anti-aging. In Europe, it has been given to cows for centuries to increase their milk production.

• Cinnamon Extract — according to the U.S. Department of Agricultural scientists, the consumption of cinnamon helps to decrease glucose levels in the body as well as reduce oxidative stress. It does this by increasing insulin sensitivity so that blood sugar leaves the bloodstream more quickly. This is important for losing weight and managing blood sugar. Cinnamon is also thought to boost metabolism because your body uses more energy to process the spice than it does for other foods.

• Eclonia Cava (Seanol®-Phlorotannin Alga Extract) — Ecklonia cava is a brown algae found off the coasts of Japan, Korea, and China. When consumed as a dietary supplement, Ecklonia cava has been shown to improve health in a variety of ways. It contains phlorotannins, a class of compounds with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Eclonia cava studies show that it has helped in lowering cholesterol, blood sugar, blood sugar, blood pressure, joint inflammation, and asthmatic responses. It has also been shown to improve sports performance.

• Chromium (Chromium dinicocysteinate or ZyChrome) — is a unique chromium complex consisting of chromium, niacin, and L-cysteine. Preclinical and clinical studies support the safety and efficacy of CDNC while lowering oxidative stress, vascular inflammation, and glycemia for those with high blood sugar. Reports conclude that Chromium dinicocysteinate supplementation lowers insulin resistance and insulin levels by reducing blood levels of TNF-α, insulin, and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic subjects. Studies show 30% improvement in both as compared to chromium picolinate.

• Vanadium (bis-glycinate oxo vanadium) — Vanadium helps decrease blood sugar. In fact, taking vanadium along with a blood lowering medication might cause one's blood sugar to go too low, so blood sugar should be monitored if one is taking medication. Vanadium is a micro-nutrient found naturally in mushrooms, shellfish, black pepper, parsley, dill, grain, and grain products. It is not known how much vanadium the body needs; the typical diet provides less than 30 micrograms daily. It's possible that most people are deficient. Studies with bis-glycinate oxo vanadium have been particularly encouraging in regard to maintaining normal blood sugar.

Gly Control® – Frequently Asked Questions

Who Should Take Gly Control®

Gly Control® is recommended for the following types of people:

1. Those who wish to live as long as possible. Studies show that lowered levels of blood sugar and insulin are the most predictive factors in regard to longevity. Gly Control® is unmatched in regard to lowering blood sugar and insulin.

2. Persons with normal blood sugar who wish to keep them that way.

3. Persons who are desirous of lowering blood sugar.

4. Persons suffering from inflammation.

5. Persons who wish to avoid glycation damage.

6. Persons desiring to lower Leptin levels.

What Are the Bad Short Term Effects of High Blood Sugar

1. Elevated Leptin levels which put one in the sugar burning mode

2. Feel tired and weak

3. Be thirsty

4. Urinate more

5. Be more susceptible to infections (that’s because the body can confuse blood sugar with Vitamin C and reach for the wrong tool in fighting infection)
