Properties of the Ingredients

Momordica charantia: known as bitter melon or bitter gourd, contains active substances with anti-diabetic properties, including charantin, which has a blood glucose-lowering effect, vicine and an insulin-like compound known as polypeptide-p. 

Gymnema sylvestre: a traditional Ayurvedic medicine that is referred to as "destroyer of sugar".

Studies have found the active components in Gymnema, called Gymnenic acids, have the ability to lower blood glucose levels and inhibit the taste of sugar. It also supports healthy glucose metabolism. 

Cinnamon extract: cinnamon has been used medicinally since ancient times. Scientific researches support cinnamon's ability to improve glucose metabolism, lower cholesterol levels and reduce joint pain. 

R-alpha-lipoic acid: A superior, biologically active form of lipoic acid. ALA is a versatile and powerful antioxidant that protects brain and nerve cells from oxidations and free radicals. It also supports healthy blood sugar metabolism to prevent insulin resistance. ALA is involved in energy production; this metabolic antioxidant helps convert carbohydrate into energy. ALA’s own antioxidant properties, combined with its ability to enhance the effectiveness of other antioxidants, protect the entire cell from oxidative stress. 

Trigonella foenum-graecum: commonly known as fenugreek, is an annual herb in the family Fabaceae that is knowns to support healthy digestive function, healthy glucose and cholesterol levels, and women's health. Studies have shown that fenugreek is effective in lowering post-meal blood sugar levels. 

Chromium polynicotinate: an effective form of this trace mineral that is essential to normal sugar and fat metabolism. Studies indicate that chromium increases insulin activity, reducing the amount of insulin required to control blood sugar and related processes. 

Vanadium sulfate: A trace mineral that has shown to have insulin-like effect on the body, stimulating glucose uptake and its oxidation in the cells. It also prevents loss of zinc, which helps to sustain the insulin reaction during illness.
