Gymnema Sylvestre [1] is a perennial vine in India, Africa, and Australia. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to suppress the taste of sugar. In fact, in Hindi, gymnema sylvestre translates to “sugar destroyer.” By limiting the taste of sugar, one’s cravings are expected to subside. From a scientific standpoint, only small studies have been conducted, most of which point to the possibility of blocked sugar and fat absorption by the body, thereby positively influencing sugar, cholesterol, and fat levels. Moreover, taking this herb has been proven to increase insulin production, possibly improving glucose uptake.

Biotin [2] is a B vitamin that metabolizes food and converts it into usable energy. A systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of biotin on blood glucose and lipid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes reported interesting findings. In particular, biotin can potentially lower fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Pharmacological concentrations of biotin enhanced insulin secretion in this study. While a different study [3] with type 1 diabetic patients reported similar results.

Chromium [4] is a trace element derived from plants and certain food groups. Although evidence has been published, this ingredient has been considered for the purposes of managing diabetes, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and blood cholesterol levels, as noted in one source. In the context of blood sugar, it is generally believed that Chromium is an essential factor in enhancing insulin activity. However, only a few existing studies reported effective results.

Manganese [5] is the next trace element selected for GlucoPure Pro. It contributes to the body’s antioxidant support and can reduce blood sugar levels. A study indicated oral magnesium supplements improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2 diabetic subjects.

Licorice root [6] is derived from the Glycyrrhiza glabra or Glycyrrhiza uralensis plants, which have found a place in traditional Eastern and Western medicine. Mainly, this ingredient has been employed to ease inflammation that can further cause health-related issues in mellitus diabetes. Research on blood sugar shows that licorice roots contain amorfrutins with anti-diabetic properties. Amorfrutins contain anti-inflammatory properties. [7], Studies have reported licorice roots to be effective against diabetes mellitus and its complications of dry skin and bad breath and relieving hunger, with significant improvements in blood sugar levels and kidney function. The same goes for potential weight-loss results as well.

Zinc [9] is a mineral that acts as a cofactor for hundreds of different enzymes essential for proper bodily functioning. A deficiency in this nutrient has led to several symptoms, including poor immune function and appetite, hair loss, diarrhea, and slow wound healing. Stimulatingly, zinc has been demonstrated to maintain healthy blood sugar levels while improving insulin sensitivity. This mineral might also improve risk factors for heart disease, such as triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
