Sugar: How Much Is Too Much?

It’s normal for blood sugar to go up after eating foods high in sugar and carbs. However, when high blood sugar becomes a regular occurrence long-term illness, such as metabolic syndrome and heart disease, become more of a risk.

What’s worse is that most people eat more sugar than they know. That’s because grocery stores are full of foods that have hidden sugars and harmful additives. Manufacturers rely on sugar to make food taste good and as a result we've become completely addicted to it.

In fact, according to the American Heart Association, adult men should consume about 37.5 grams of sugar a day, whereas women should eat no more than 25 grams of sugar a day. To put that into perspective, just one cup of flavored, fruity yogurt can have up to 24 grams of sugar in it. It's no wonder high blood sugar has become such a problem in the U.S.

The Key To Keep Physically Energized

Now, before panicking, remember blood sugar is necessary for health and well-being. When blood sugar goes up, it triggers the pancreas to release a hormone called insulin, which is a vital hormone, into the bloodstream.

Think of insulin like a key that opens up cells so glucose can get in and be converted into energy. Without insulin, the human body can’t use glucose for energy.

Sometimes, when there is too much glucose in the blood, the body just can’t keep up with converting it into energy. In these cases, the pancreas gets overwhelmed and stops producing insulin. This is often the case for people with metabolic syndrome.

How To Regulate Blood Sugar The Right Way

With all the hidden sugars in food, it's nearly impossible to keep a realistic count of how much is actually consumed in day. And although eating right and exercising can help regulate blood sugar, just focusing on those two lifestyle changes alone might not be enough to reverse the damage.

That’s why millions of people today are turning to supplements, which can be a great solution if it's taking the right one…

Why Most Blood Sugar Supplements Don't Work

The market is FULL of supplements that all promise to help regulate blood sugar, but nearly none deliver. That’s because many of them are low on potency and are filled with ineffective ingredients.

There’s only a handful of ingredients proven to help reduce blood sugar. Even though many brands use these ingredients, they often will formulate their supplements with the generic versions that have been watered down and unable to deliver optimal results.

That’s Where 1MD's New Formula Changes Everything!

GlucoseMD was formulated with a team of medical specialists, led by renowned cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn. Together they had one goal in mind: create the best blood sugar supplement available without sacrificing quality.

No other blood sugar supplement on the market today contains powerful, clinically studied ingredients at their clinically recommended dosages, plus an abundance of other vital nutrients to help manage blood sugar.

Natural Blood Sugar-Lowering Ingredient #1

CinSulin®

There are two kinds of compounds in cinnamon bark: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Research shows that the water-soluble compounds in cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar, whereas the fat-soluble compounds, like the ones found in the spice, cannot.

That’s why we formulated GlucoseMD with 500 mg of CinSulin, a clinically studied, water-soluble cinnamon extract. CinSulin uses a specialized water extraction process and the result is an incredibly potent form of cinnamon that can help reduce high blood sugar and improve insulin function.

Natural Blood Sugar-Lowering Ingredient #2

Berberine Bark Extract

Berberine is able to activate an enzyme inside cells called the AMPK, which means it's able to help decrease insulin resistance, making insulin more effective at keeping glucose at a healthy level. That’s why we made sure to add berberine in its clinically proven dosage of 500 mg for full effect.

Natural Blood Sugar-Lowering Ingredient #3

Lion’s Mane

Lion’s Mane is a unique mushroom that helps lower blood sugar by blocking a specific enzyme responsible for digesting carbs. When this enzyme is blocked, blood sugar is lowered.
