Science & Research
Verifiable Science
Minerals including chromium, magnesium and zinc are associated with healthy glucose metabolism and may be synergistic with biotin.1,2,3,4 Bisglycinato oxo vanadium is a bioavailable organic complex of glycine and vanadium. Research indicates that vanadium promotes healthy glucose metabolism by supporting healthy liver and skeletal muscle function.5 Numerous studies indicate that the water-soluble polyphenol polymers found in CinSulin® cinnamon extract promote healthy glucose function, lipid metabolism and blood flow.6,7 Momordica charantia, or bitter melon, and Gymnema sylvestre provide traditional support for healthy pancreas and glucose function.8,9 Vitamin C maintains healthy red blood cell sorbitol levels.10 Alpha lipoic acid supports healthy glucose metabolism by promoting healthy mitochondrial function.11,12‡
