Unique Properties
Patient One Glucose Care™ combines clinically verified nutrients and botanicals with synergistic vitamins and minerals into a multi-function formula to help regulate and maintain blood sugar levels already within healthy range. Supplying five advanced, patented herbal extracts and essential nutrients, Glucose Care provides comprehensive support for patients with compromised glucose metabolism.
Key Ingredients
Chromium (ChromeMate®):
Chromium increases insulin’s ability to bind to cells, increases insulin receptor numbers on cells, and improves insulin’s ability to detect glucose molecules in the blood. Chromium is often deficient in those with impaired glucose metabolism. Restoring chromium levels in these individuals helps to stabilize their blood sugar levels. Patient One Glucose Care supplies chromium as ChromeMate®, a unique, patented niacin-bound chromium complex that significantly increases the bioavailability, biological activity and efficacy of chromium.
Studies have shown that ChromeMate is 18 times more bioactive than other forms of niacin-bound chromium. In animal models used to estimate bioavailability in humans, ChromeMate was absorbed and retained more than 600% greater than chromium chloride and 300% greater than chromium picolinate.
Cinnulin PF®:
Cinnulin PF is a patented water-soluble extract of Cinnamomum. It is the only extract standardized for doubly linked Type-A Polymers, shown in clinical research to have a host of health benefits, particularly those related to metabolic syndrome. Cinnulin PF has demonstrated ability to reduce the risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular health issues.
Cinnamon has been studied extensively for its roles in glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, insulin action, and support for healthy blood lipid metabolism. Human studies have shown that water-extracted cinnamon supplementation helped the body maintain healthy blood sugar levels, improved antioxidant status, and supported healthy blood pressure and body composition changes.
Manganese and Vanadium (as TRAACS® Manganese Glycinate Chelate and TRAACS® Vanadium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate):
Impaired glucose metabolism has been linked with manganese deficiency, which can result in pancreatic insufficiencies. Manganese is also a component of the free radical scavenger Superoxide Disumutase (SOD) that protects cells, most notably pancreatic beta-cells that produce insulin. Supplementing with manganese can restore pancreatic function.
Vanadium is believed to enhance the effects of insulin and can also help support balanced glucose metabolism. Vanadium may be therapeutic for those who do not have sufficient levels of insulin, as vanadium improves insulin function rather than mimics it completely.
Patient One supplies these important minerals as TRAACS, nutritionally functional chelated minerals from Albion Labs. Supporting science shows that TRAACS chelated minerals remain stable as they travel through the stomach–providing 90% greater absorption over other mineral salts. In addition to higher bioavailability, they are easier to tolerate than many other mineral forms, avoiding unpleasant gastric discomfort.
Zinc (as TRAACS® Zinc Glycinate Chelate):
Zinc homeostasis is negatively affected by impaired
