Glucobalance – Blood Sugar Supplement by Biotics Research

One of the criteria for good vitality is that each and every cell should have an ample supply of bulk nutrients that can act as the physiological energy source. Although body cells will, in many cases, freely use fat as well as carbohydrate for energy, the most universally and immediately available energy source throughout the body is glucose.

Glucose is always present in the blood, and healthy levels are typically maintained at about 80mg per 100 ml of blood. So, when all tissues of the body have an adequate blood supply, this glucose solution is freely available to them. If blood glucose should drop, so will the immediate supply of energy-yielding nutrients available for the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level).

When blood glucose level drops, a great array of possible symptoms can result; frequent and significant symptoms include lethargy, weakness, headaches, low mood, anger, fainting, tremors, fatigue, depression, and irritability. These reflect the diminishing supplies of cell energy. The maintenance of blood glucose levels is an essential part of the physiological support mechanism for a healthy lifestyle.

Our Modern Diet and Lifestyle Have Been Shown to Have a Negative Effect on Blood Sugar Regulation

Irregular eating patterns, poor sleep, chronic stress, diets high in refined carbohydrates, fizzy drinks, alcohol, etc. can lead not only to swings in our blood glucose levels but long term it can trigger what is termed ‘Metabolic syndrome’, which is described as a cluster of over-lapping factors that include high triglycerides (fats) and cholesterol, impaired glucose tolerance, high insulin, high blood pressure, and obesity.

Metabolic syndrome often precedes the development of cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes; it can also increase our risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Many features of metabolic syndrome are associated with insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance can be triggered if the cells are continuously exposed to high levels of insulin; the cells of our liver, fat tissue and muscles then start to become less sensitive to the uptake of insulin. This then affects our glucose levels as insulin is not able to carry glucose into the cells for use efficiently. Over time, our other glands, such as our adrenals and pancreas, will become increasingly less efficient with constant inappropriate dysregulated blood sugar and insulin levels.

The UK is a nation that is over-fed yet, in one sense, malnourished as we are eating a high-calorie diet that is low in nutrients, which can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle with chronic stress levels, all of which can lead towards chronic health conditions.

Diet and Lifestyle are Fundamental to Supporting and Balancing our Blood Sugar Levels, and so Too is Creating a Healthy Gut Microbiome

An imbalance in our microbes with lower diversity levels can create systemic inflammation, which can further lead to metabolic dysregulations and obesity.

Thankfully with a focus on our nutrient intake including fibre rich, colourful plant foods, adequate hydration and beneficial lifestyle changes we can help to regulate our glucose levels and reduce our risks for metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes.

Introducing evidence-based nutrients in a food supplement form is one strategy you can implement. Glucose homeostasis depends on the presence of a wide range of micronutrients. In addition, some individuals with blood sugar disorders may have a special dietary need for higher amounts of one or more micronutrients.

For these reasons I personally like the product called Glucobalance by Biotics Research as it is a tried and tested food supplement that many practitioner have utilised and achieved excellent results. It is a targeted supplemental support for individuals with undesirable blood sugar levels who may have special dietary needs for higher amounts of important micronutrients, it may also help support those with ‘metabolic syndrome’.  

Glucobalance (blood sugar supplement) contains therapeutic levels of a mix of 22 vitamins and minerals that have been studied and shown to have positive effects on glucose homeostasis which include, magnesium, zinc, chromium, calcium, manganese, copper, selenium, the Vitamin B family and Vitamin’s A/D/E. If offers a simple safe way to help support my clients, I highly recommend it.
