High blood sugar? Overweight?

• Helps strengthen sugar and fat metabolism
• Supports overall immunity

Too many sweet, heavy foods, long-term stress and lack of exercise can contribute to a sugar intolerance. Gluco Balance is a powerful combination of herbs that improves the body's natural ability to metabolize sugar.

According to Ayurveda the principal herbs in Gluco Balance are renowned to assist with carbohydrate metabolism and overall digestion, help regulate and protect liver function and support normal functions that can be strained by poor sugar metabolism

NOTE Not recommended if you have low blood-sugar

Summary

An herbal mixture used for thousands of years in Indiia for treatment of diabetes was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). This herbal mixture, MA471 (Gluco Balance), was developed by Maharishi Ayurveda Products (Noida, India) and showed very good results in preliminary trials.

In the present pilot study, a clinical trial was conducted in which patients were divided into three groups: Group A (15 cases) were patients who had never taken an anti-diabetic drug and were uncontrolled by diet and exercise; Group B (30 cases) were patients controlled by an oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA); and Group C (15 cases) were patients uncontrolled by the maximum dose of an OHA.

All patients were started on MA471 tablets after initial evaluation and blood collection, and were called for follow-up every two weeks for blood collection and observation of the improvement or deterioration of various symptoms.

The mean fasting and postprandial blood glucose, and hemoglobin A1C showed a significant decrease from the initial values in all three groups of patients. “Good” and “acceptable” control was achieved in 68.3% of the patients.

MA471 seemed to be more effective in patients who had diabetes of less than five years duration. MA471 also resulted in a significant fall in serum total cholesterol and triglycerides, and resulted in marked improvement in polyuria, fatigue, and constipation. This pilot study shows the herbal mixture MA471 has significant hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties, and also improves the quality of life of NIDDM patients.
