After much research, Dr. Williams found an easy and convenient
way to get the six nutrients he believes will give you the best
blood sugar support. And he's put them together—in most cases,
in the exact amounts researched—into a formula called Blood
Sugar Advantage, which includes:
1) Cinnamon—in a full one gram amount, which
is the amount preliminary research suggests may help you maintain
normal serum glucose (blood sugar) levels. Plus, cinnamon may also
help maintain normal triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol
levels, which often go hand-in-hand with blood sugar concerns.
2) Vitamin D—which may be the "hidden"
nutrient for insulin support. Preliminary research suggests vitamin
D is needed to help the body process sugar. That's why Dr. Williams
included vitamin D in an amount designed to work hand-in-hand with
Daily Advantage.
3) Chromium Polynicotinate—a"must-have"
for getting glucose into your cells. Chromium works by helping to
increase the number of binding sites on your cells for insulin to
enter.
4) Blueberry leaves (Vaccinium myrtillus L.)—which
are 10-15% chlorogenic acid, may help to inhibit the enzyme in your
liver that forms glucose. It also may help to inhibit the breakdown
of glycogen, which is the sugar that's stored in your muscles.
5) Gymnema Sylvestre leaf extract—in the
exact 400 mg research amount, which helps to slow transport of glucose
from the intestines into the bloodstream, and therefore may help
to keep blood sugar in the normal range.
6) Alpha Lipoic Acid—helps scavenge unwanted
AGEs (advanced glycation end products), which can form when blood
sugar attaches to proteins. AGEs act a lot like free radicals in
your body. ALA is a powerful water- and fat- soluble antioxidant
that can enter all parts of the cell to scavenge free radicals
