- ChromeMate® Niacin bound Chromium (as Cr Polynicotinate)
– Chromium is a trace mineral heavily involved in glucose metabolism.
Research suggests that supplementing with chromium picolinate may help
support insulin sensitivity by targeting a critical inflammatory
molecule called tumor necrosis factor-α [1]. Research also shows that
chromium supplementation may significantly increase levels of “good
cholesterol” known as HDL while decreasing levels of” bad cholesterol”
known as LDL [2]. Studies indicate that chromium supplementation may
significantly improve carbohydrate craving, indicating a potential role
in weight management [3]. Clinical research suggests that when chromium
and niacin form a complex, chromium can more powerfully exert each of
these effects [4].
- Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract
– Native to India, Africa, and Australia, this extract has been used in
Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and is enriched with gymnemic acid. In
a study that examined supplementation with this potent extract,
patients experienced significantly reduced HbA1c and glucose levels,
indicating a potential increase in insulin sensitivity [5]. In another
study, patients who were supplemented with gymnema sylvestre extract for
eight weeks experienced a significant reduction in body weight,
cholesterol levels, and LDL levels [6]. Studies also indicate that
supplementing with this extract may help dampen a patient’s cravings for
sweets [7].
- Cinnulin PF® Cinnamon Extract
– This proprietary water extract is derived from Cinnamomum burmannii
through an enhanced process that filters out toxins that are found
within whole cinnamon. This form of cinnamon is particularly beneficial
since it is rich in Type A polymers, which help to promote
cardiovascular health. One study found that patients who supplemented
with Cinnulin PF® for 12 weeks experienced significantly improved
fasting blood glucose levels [8].
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid
– This fatty acid plays a crucial and multifaceted role in glucose
metabolism. It bridges two critical reactions that convert glucose into
energy while also scavenging and neutralizing harmful oxygen radicals.
One study showed that supplementing with alpha-lipoic acid for eight
weeks significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, post-meal blood
glucose, and indicators of insulin resistance [9].
- Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) Extract
– Bitter melon has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and
Ayurvedic medicine for various ailments. In one study where participants
were supplemented with bitter melon extract for three months,
participants experienced significantly increased insulin secretion with
simultaneous significant reductions in weight, waist circumference,
blood glucose levels, and HbA1c [10].
- Lagerstroemia speciosa L. (Banaba) Leaf Extract
– Native to Southeast Asia, this extract contains an antioxidant called
corosolic acid, which promotes cardiovascular health by targeting
inflammation-causing free radicals, enhancing glucose transport, and
balancing cholesterol levels. Studies have shown significant reductions
in blood glucose when participants underwent oral glucose tolerance
tests after supplementing with corosolic acid [11]. Additionally,
patients who were supplemented with regimens including Banaba leaf
extract were found to exhibit significant improvements in triglyceride
and HDL levels [12].
- Vanadyl Sulfate – This
trace mineral has been found to exhibit profound effects on glucose
control. In one study, participants who were supplemented with vanadyl
sulfate for three weeks experienced significantly reduced blood glucose
levels and enhanced peripheral insulin sensitivity [13].
Is this only helpful for those with elevated glucose levels or is it also helpful for those with low glucose/hypoglycemia?
It
is intended to help with glucose metabolism, in general. Under FDA
regulations we cannot say if a dietary supplement can or cannot
influence levels of glucose.
Is there a recommendation for those with diabetes or other glucose issues?

blood sugar and boost metabolism with a formula packed with
research-backed nutrients, including proprietary forms of cinnamon and
chromium, as well as Gymnema and bitter melon. †
- Promote healthy glucose levels, with compounds that support the regulation of glucose absorption and insulin release
- Support a healthy diet with nutrients shown to alleviate volatile swings of blood glucose
- Aids weight management with antioxidants and minerals that help to accelerate fat-burning metabolism
- Not intended for diabetics unless under guidance of a physician
Supplement Support for Glycemic Control
Glucose
is your body’s primary source of energy. It fuelsS reactions that
optimize metabolism, exercise performance, immune system responses, CNS
reactions and many other functions. Unstable glucose levels can lead to
short-term symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and weakness. Long-term
symptoms include weightgainN, loss of muscle tone, chronic fatigue, and
even serious complications like heart and brain disease. Despite efforts
to eat as healthy as possible, as we age our ability to maintain
optimal glucose levels becomes harder. That’s where Support Glucose
comes in.
Blood Sugar Support Supplementation
BioMatrix’
Support Glucose contains ingredients that have been extensively studied
and are known to moderate the cellular activities of insulin and
glucose. It is a potent product that aids glycemic control in
individuals who have not been diagnosed with Type 1 or 2 diabetes. If
you have diabetes or are concerned that you may be at risk of the
disease, you should consult with a healthcare professional before taking
this product. For those with blood glucose in healthy range, this may
be just the formula you’ve been seeking to sharpen your metabolic edge. †
The Support Glucose Advantage
Support
Glucose supports glucose balance by optimizing glucose absorption and
uptake by cells, insulin release, and nutrient-converting metabolic
reactions. Additionally, the ingredients serve to curb inflammation
while also protecting your heart and brain cells from oxidative stress,
thanks to strong antioxidant properties. †
The Ingredients: Purpose
- ChromeMate® Chromium Polynicotinate
– A trace mineral bound to niacin to promote glucose utilization,
defend against insulin resistance and fat metabolism. Individuals with
insufficient levels of biologically active chromium are likely to have
excess insulin sensitivity.
- Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf –
Supports weight management by defending against cravings for sweets,
stimulating pancreatic insulin release, and balancing post-meal sugar
absorption, cholesterol levels, and inflammation.
- Cinnulin PF® Cinnamon –
A potent cinnamon bark extract rich in Type A polymers that target
insulin signaling pathways to support healthy blood sugar levels and fat
usage.
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid – An
antioxidant-rich omega-3 fatty acid that supports cardiovascular and
nerve health by scavenging harmful free radicals, enhancing insulin
sensitivity, and serving as a cofactor for metabolic reactions.
- Bitter Melon –
Native to India, this extract is enriched with charantin, which
supports glycemic control, glucose storage, and weight management.
- Banaba Leaf Extract
– This extract is rich in corosolic acid, an antioxidant that supports
insulin sensitivity, glucose utilization, weight management, and
inflammatory molecule balance.
- Vanadyl Sulfate
– A trace mineral that regulates glucose entry into cells and acts as a
cofactor for essential glucose-regulating metabolic reactions
