Glucose M2 Supplement Facts

Daily Dosage: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the afternoon with 8 ounces of water. 45-60 days of continuous use is necessary for optimum results.

Glucose M2 Research:

Magnesium - Helps the release of insulin as well as the breakdown of glucose. (4)

Chromium - Various studies have confirmed that chromium has a positive effect on blood glucose. (1) Chromium is thought to help insulin by moving glucose and important nutrients into the cells in the body. (2)

Zinc - Zinc helps normalize insulin production by the pancreas and glucose utilization by the muscle and fat cells.

Calcium - Is the most abundant mineral in the body and is involved in maintaining a multitude of functions in the body including a healthy heart beat. May also be involved in blood pressure regulation.

Vanadium - Animal studies have shown that Vandium can help promote healthy blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. (7)

Alpha Lipoic Acid - Speeds the removal of glucose (sugar) from the blood. (8,9)

Bitter Melon Ext. - Has been shown to improve glucose control in human studies. (15, 16)

Gymnemna Sylvestris - Gymnemna is thought to increase insulin secretion, and several studies report that is does offer some control. (11, 12) In fact, a human study confirmed that it does help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. (14)
