Product Notes:
White Mulberry Leaves Support Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
You've probably been hearing a lot about the increasing prevalence of prediabetes, and have hopefully been making some dietary and lifestyle changes to lower your risks of it progressing into something more serious, if you think that applies to you.
Of course, one of the major pieces of advice on that score is to cut back on sugar and eat fewer carbs, but sometimes (whether for work, travel, or socializing reasons, or just for the odd treat), you may feel compelled to eat whatever's put in front of you. This product is ideal for such times, much like the pills that can enable people with lactose or gluten intolerances to 'sin' on occasion.
DNJ Reduces Glucose Absorption
White mulberry leaves contain a compound called 1-Deoxynojirimycin (or DNJ, for short), which actually curtails the release of some of the enzymes that break down carbohydrates.
Clinical studies have shown that it can reduce how much glucose gets absorbed through the small intestine (where it would then get passed to bloodstream to cause sugar spikes) by as much as 50%. Doing that also reduces how much insulin your body would need to release to contend with the spike, and lowers the chances of the excess sugar getting stored into fat cells, where it's more difficult to access as energy.
GlucoSupport Ingredients:
Each capsule contains:
147 mg Mulberry Leaf Extract (Morus alba)
(8.5% 1-Deoxynojirimycin; extract ratio: 85:1. DHE: 12,495 grams of mulberry leaf would be needed to supply this amount of that active ingredient. This 147 mg is a native extract, and is equivalent to 250 mg of a 5% DNJ standardized extract.)
Non-medicinal ingredients: L-Leucine, maltodextrin (corn), microcrystalline cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate. Capsule: hypromellose.
*DHE = Dried Herbal Equivalent.
This AOR product is GMO- and Gluten- Free and is suitable for Vegans.
Suggested Usage:
Adults: For occasional use only. Take 1 capsule per day before a carbohydrate rich meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Swallow the entire capsule – opening them may compromise the integrity of the medicinal ingredients. Store AOR Gluco Support bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if have cardiovascular disease or diabetes; or if you are taking antihyperglycemic medications or insulin, or steroids, protease inhibitors, or antipsychotics.
