Diabetes and Blood Glucose Support

Nature's Sunshine - Sugar Reg for Blood Sugar Support Sugar Reg helps maintain Blood Sugar Levels that are already within the normal range. Activates cell glucose transporters. Contents include chromium, fenugreek seeds, and bitter melon fruit. This combination helps support the body's effort to achieve balance between blood sugar and insulin.

Ayurvedic Blood Sugar Formula for Blood Sugar Support from Nature's Sunshine Ayurvedic Blood Sugar Formula, developed by Indian Ayurvedic masters, provides nutrients necessary for optimal glandular and digestive system function. It supports the liver and pancreas and blood sugar levels already within the normal range.

Chromium GTF for Blood Sugar Support from Natures Sunshine Chromium GTF is a trace mineral that plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels. Chromium is the central atom in the glucose tolerance factor (GTF). GTF works with insulin to transport glucose from the blood into body cells, regulating blood sugar levels. When this function is not working properly, the cells resist insulin and do not properly absorb the glucose needed for energy.

Psyllium Hulls and Psyllium Seeds for Blood Sugar Support from Nature's Sunshine Psyllium Seeds and Psyllium Hulls have an extremely high level of soluble fiber. Encapsulated psyllium is a convenient way to add important fiber to the daily diet. Psyllium also contains a high percentage of mucilage. This mucilage lubricates and cleanses the areas through which it passes. Psyllium has been shown to help slow blood glucose peaks after meals and reduce ultimate levels, and can play an important part in helping the body maintain healthy cholesterol levels and preventing cardiovascular disease.
Due to its high mucilage content, psyllium not only helps with blood sugar and cholesterol control, but can interfere with absorption of medications, thus you should wait at least an hour between taking psyllium and medicines or other supplements. Increased water consumption is also recommended when taking psyllium or other high fiber content products.


Zinc for Blood Sugar Support from Natures Sunshine Zinc is involved in sugar metabolism and seems to be easily lost from the system. Zinc is a trace mineral, which is extremely important to overall health.
This product also contains kelp and should not be taken in conjunction with thyroid problems except under the advice of a medical professional.
