Sugar-Eze™

Sugar-Eze™

Product description

Sugar-Eze™ is a dietary supplement containing the nutrients necessary to aid the body in supporting proper glucose metabolism. There is one nutrient, a mineral, which stands out as the pivotal support for people with blood sugar challenges. That mineral is chromium. Yet that mineral alone is far less effective than when it is properly combined with other nutrient co-factors included in Sugar-Eze™.

These additional nutrients found in Sugar-Eze™ are:

• Aspartic acid
• Bitter melon
• Alpha lipoic acid
• Bilberry extract
• Chromium
• Vanadium (as vanadyl sulfate)

What makes Sugar-Eze™ different?

Sugar-Eze™ contains the nutrients necessary to aid the body in supporting proper glucose metabolism. It has been extremely helpful for individuals with blood sugar challenges and contains aspartic acid, bilberry extract, chromium, vanadium plus additional nutrients important to the digestion of sugars.

Facts about glucose metabolism

Our foods have been depleted of many of the nutrients we need each day. On top of that, according to research, the average American consumes roughly 150 pounds of sugar each year. Our bodies are not equipped to handle such a huge load of sugar, and without the necessary nutrients in your food, you don't have all the raw materials you need to break down these sugars.

When you add to this the over-processing of our foods we have a real challenge. For example, the wheat used for all baked goods is digested by the body with the help of the mineral chromium. Unfortunately though, by processing wheat into flour, much of the chromium found in wheat is removed.

Although mother nature intended for the wheat to be consumed with the chromium, so that it could easily be metabolized by the body, in our zeal to make white flour we refine the wheat to a point where we have altered it's composition and can no longer break it down properly. The result of this poor diet can contribute to obesity, hypoglycemia and diabetes.

Certain nutrients have been shown to assist in glucose metabolism. These nutrients include aspartic acid, bilberry extract, chromium and vanadium.

Key ingredients of Sugar-Eze™:

Aspartic acid:

This is an amino acid that promotes uptake of trace elements and is intricately involved with the energy cycle of the body, linking two of the body's most important biochemical pathways, the Urea cycle (the foundation of nitrogen metabolism) and the Krebs Cycle (the body's pathways for metabolism of carbohydrate). Aspartic acid in its "L-" form, L-aspartic acid, is a major excitatory transmitter in the human brain, and is the precursor of acetylaspartic acid, the most highly concentrated amino acid neurotransmitter in the brain. Aspartic acid, as well, is involved in the building of DNA and orotates. Aspartic acid and phenylalanine are the amino acids which make up aspartame, the new artificially derived "amino acid," which is now used commonly as a sweetener.

Bilberry extract:

The name Bilberry (a corruption of Bulberry) is taken from the Danish 'bollebar' meaning 'dark berry'. In parts of the USA it is called Huckleberry which is a corruption of Whortleberry. V. uliginosum, which is the Bog Bilberry, a smaller plant with smaller berries.

The use of the fruit of the plant has been found to be astringent and anti-diarrhoeic (for nonspecific, acute diarrhoea). Externally, the fruit has been therapeutic in reducing mild inflammation of the mucous membranes of mouth and throat. An important commercial product in Europe, especially Germany, also used as a source of wine. Used medicinally for intestinal trouble, stomach and intestinal catarrh. Active phytomedicinals within the fruit include anthocyan, flavon glycosides and tannins.

The fruit of the Bilberry came into prominent use during World War II where RAF pilots used it to enhance their ability to see at night (dark adaption and visual acuity). After the war, proof was established that the fruit did indeed enhance night vision, effectively dealing with night blindness, visual fatigue, myopia and various vascular disturbances of the retina. Bilberry flavonoid extract, anthocyanin and other flavonoids, were shown to improve capillary fragility, assisting in peripheral circulation, and thus assist with night vision.

The leaf of the Bilberry plant is used effectively for diabetes mellitus, for the prevention and treatment of diseases and complaints of the gastrointestinal tract, kidney and urinary tract, for arthritis, gout, dermatitis. Active components include alkaloids, carbolic acid, catechin tannins, flavonoids, iridoids with higher dosage (1.5 g/kg/day), and for prolonged use, chronic intoxication may arise, but only when tremendous amounts of the leaves are consumed. The symptoms of chronic intoxication in animal experiments were initially cachexia, anaemia, icterus, acute excitation and disturbances of tonus; however such would mean that a 150 lb man would have to consume 225 grams per day of the leaf and do so continually for a number of weeks or months, unrealistic at best. In smaller, more realistic quantities (up to 0.2 grams per day), bilberry has shown itself to be quite safe.

Chromium:

Chromium is involved in the production of insulin, the hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (the fuel that our cells use for energy) in the blood by transporting glucose into the cells for later use. This action helps to prevent blood sugar levels from from rising too high, (diabetes), or falling too low (hypoglycaemia). Because chromium plays a significant role in insulin production, chromium intake is important in maintaining correct glucose levels in the blood.

There is strong and growing evidence that many disorders of glucose metabolism, namely diabetes and hypoglycaemia, may in fact be chromium-deficiency states.

Experiments have shown that chromium supplementation actually improves glucose tolerance in some diabetics and in people with impaired glucose tolerance.

Vanadium:

Vanadium exhibit insulin-like effects, including enhancement of glucose uptake and metabolism and glycogen synthesis. It also appears to enhance insulin sensitivity and prolong insulin action. In fact, vanadium has been referred to as an “insulin-mimetic.” Human research on vanadyl sulfate, the form of vanadium featured in Sugar-Eze™, is promising, making it a logical complement to chromium supplementation.
