Kaylor, founder and director of the Radiant Health Project and consultant to Mushroom Wisdom of East Rutherford, NJ, believes that retailers should fully understand how they work. While there are a number of botanicals that lower blood sugar levels, many of them do this by raising insulin levels, he explains, warning, While this may yield the short-term benefit of lowering ones blood sugar, it may also contribute to the longer-term issue of insulin resistance. Indeed, as noted earlier, cells that are constantly bombarded by tons of insulin become less responsive to it over time, which creates a demand for more and more insulin production. States Kaylor, We need to keep in mind that it is not just about blood sugar; rather, a healthy balance is supported by blood sugar and insulin levels kept at appropriate levels. Therefore, he believes in SX-Fraction from the maitake mushroom, which is clinically supported for improving cellular insulin sensitivity. Studies suggest it supports both blood sugar and insulin levels in the normal range and evidence that it is improving insulin sensitivity is seen in its cardiovascular benefits of lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, Kaylor states. In fact, one study found that Maitakes actions were comparable to, and possibly even better, than a leading pharmaceutical drug. Also said to support insulin sensitivity is bitter melon, which helps the body use carbohydrates more effectively. Anthony Thomas, Ph.D., from the technical support and scientific affairs team at Jarrow Formulas, Los Angeles, CA, believes this extract reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, which supports insulin sensitivity. Adds Levy, Research also shows that bitter melon works somewhat like insulin, enhancing the delivery of blood sugar. And, compounds in the fruit activate a protein that regulates glucose metabolism in much the same way exercise does. He says some studies even suggest that the herb functioned better than a diabetes drug (Avandia), though not as well as another (Metformin). Cinnamon is also well known to support blood sugar health. According to Trisha Sugarek MacDonald, B.S., M.S., senior director of research and development, Bluebonnet Nutrition Corporation, Sugar Land, TX, a variety of studiesboth in vitro and in vivosuggest certain cinnamon compounds stimulate insulin receptors and inhibit an enzyme that inactivates the receptor. This increases cells ability to use glucose. Staack speaks of a branded form (Cinnulin PF), which is said to support healthy fasting blood sugar levels, systolic blood pressure, oxidative stress markers, percent body fat and body composition.
