Leading Causes of Glucose Imbalance

Blood Glucose Regulation This chart shows Glycemic Response Control. Glycemic Response is a measure of the increase in blood sugar and glucose release after eating a meal. Consuming meals that are not glycemic response controlled that can cause sugar spikes throughout the day forces your body to go through a glycemic roller coaster. When we eat too many refined or simple carbohydrates, our blood sugar levels rise sharply, and the body responds with a corresponding sharp increase in insulin levels. This is represented by the red line. When insulin levels are high, fat burning stops and the body stores calories as fat. This process causes weight gain and unwanted fat; and uneven energy levels. By promoting a favorable glycemic response you can help your body burn fat naturally and minimize fat storage. That is represented by the blue line. This promotes abundant energy and satiety as you achieve your desired weight. We will cover this concept a little later in the presentation. Glycemic Response Control Technology

Balancing Glucose

Cellular Energy & Glucose Transport Blood Stream Glucose ` Receptor Cell Every cell in the human body needs energy to survive and perform its functions. Brain cells need energy to think and recall information, muscle cells need energy to contract…Primary source of that energy is from glucose that enters our body through the food we eat. Glucose gets absorbed in our digestive system and gets transported to the cells through the blood stream. When the cells need energy, glucose from the blood enters the cells. Unfortunately it cannot do that by itself — but it needs the help of a hormone called insulin that is produced in our pancreas. That happens through receptors on the surface of the cells where insulin can bind after attaching to glucose — allowing the glucose to enter the cells for energy production Insulin

Combining Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science Glucose Balance Combining Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science NeoLife Glucose Balance is a safe, broad spectrum, holistic approach to glucose balance. This exclusive formula uses state-of-the-art science, ingredient technologies and sourcing expertise to combine whole food ingredients shown to support glucose balance

Proprietary Ayurvedic Botanical Blend Natural, whole food sourced botanicals. Cinnamon, curcumin and turmeric are known to help support normal glucose levels during fasting and after meals.*

Cinnamon (Cassia) The most studied and proven effective form for supporting healthy glucose metabolism and healthy blood glucose levels. Helps support normal fasting glucose levels, supports efficient insulin production and sensitivity, promotes cellular glucose uptake, improves cholesterol profile.*

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) This antioxidant phytonutrient provides a broad spectrum of curcuminoids as well as beneficial effects to balance inflammation, and helps maintain normal healthy blood glucose levels.*

Curcumin (Curcuma longa L.) The most bioactive phytonutrient component of turmeric. Supports insulin production by the pancreas and may assist insulin function.*

Supporting Nutrients Chromium GTF Alpha-Lipoic Acid From GTF yeast, the most bioactive form. Chromium is a critical cofactor with insulin and essential for the normal healthy metabolism of carbohydrates, and also to maintain normal cellular responsiveness to insulin.* Alpha-Lipoic Acid Provides protection from free radicals created during metabolic processes, helps support normal blood sugar levels, and supports the cells' ability to utilize insulin.*
