Now, you got questions? Ask. I will answer all of your questions on this video about these herbs Let's start with bitter melon or bitter gourd. Some people call it So if you want to lower your blood sugar, you Can't use every part of a bitter melon for sure But that is a secret in any supplement, right? so we are using a part of a bitter melon and Bitter melon has been used actually for a long time as a medicine for things like Lowering cholesterol, lowering blood sugar, etc. And it that's because it has a lot of phenolic compounds that could be antioxidants All parts of bitter melon have been used in traditional medicine to also treat like digestive problems Even infections Problems with menstruation because it helps with insulin resistance for PCOS for example and many other things Now as study for example has shown a real study bitter melon has a lot of powerful Antiviral properties too. So yeah with the COVID and everything bitter melon may be a very good immune system booster and It boosts body's natural killer cells to fight viruses Another study found that the bitter melon has anti-cancer properties and actually can be used to fight many types of cancer a Study found that the extract of bitter melon Changes the signaling pathways that stop the breast cancer cells from growing and can be used as a dietary supplement To prevent the breast cancer. So there's a lot of promises in that little tiny herb Let's talk about how it really helps the blood sugar because that's our main purpose, right? So the bitter melon and various extracts and components are told to lower the blood sugar through a variety of physiological Pharmacological and biochemical ways. So first of all it can stimulate the skeletal muscle to glucose or to use glucose better and stop the fat cells from growing and It also stops the gluconeogenesis, which is the process of making glucose in your liver Then you are not eating for example and keep the islet cells the beta cell function intact to make more insulin which is super important for you to be able to make insulin and Prevent reduction in your insulin levels. So how about turmeric, right? That's another thing we have in our supplement Now this herb is part of it in your family It has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine to treat things like diabetes Metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and so forth. Now the only problem with turmeric is its bioavailability So if you're taking as a regular herb your body is not going to absorb a big portion of it So it's not going to reach significant amount in your system to show the medicinal properties Now in sugar MD advanced glucose support You do not have that problem because we used the most bio available form of curcumin Now as complicated as the chemical make-up of turmeric is Curcumin oids we call them and the essential oils have been shown to be very good for the body overall now turmeric has a lot of curcumin in it and the most common curcumin oid found in the turmeric and that curcumin can change a lot of cell signaling pathways Then it achieves that significant effective doses in your body Now then it can treat the cardiovascular disease type 3 diabetes and many related problems Now that are other things that the curcumin can do or to make whatever you want to call it to keep diabetes from Progressing it reduces your oxidative stress and inflammation and other problems like that is Pertinent to diabetes such as high blood pressure high cholesterol Can also be managed with curcumin now all of these things are Related to diabetes as you know, right? So our supplement definitely has the most available form of turmeric, which is curcumin And it's a great way to make sure that get enough of the spice every day And if you cannot the supplement will definitely help now curcumin help people with diabetes control and their little bit control by Changing the activity of enzymes that play a role in those metabolic processes So turmeric may also be able to lower the triglyceride levels like in the cholesterol But curcumin also help regulate the liver enzymes that control the levels of lipids and glucose in your body Because it is anti inflammatory now adiponectin is another hormone that is mostly found in your fat tissue Which is a good hormone. It helps control your blood sugar levels and the breakdown of fatty acids Now curcumin may be able to help cut down on the inflammation factors like Timur necrosis factor and nitric oxide and so forth But curcumin can also help diabetic nephropathy and other problems. Nephropathy is the kidney disease Caused by type 3 diabetes, right? So curcumin has both phenols and Philavenoids that can fight of these free radicals that causing the damage in your body and slow down the Oxidative damage that happens when you have diabetes and high blood sugar. So it basically make this super oxide dismutase eliminate that and Work as an antioxidant as well. Now the next on the list is gymnema There's a lot of insulin being released from the pancreas when this great herb is used actually It also slows down the glucose absorption into the blood which has great results Like gymnemic acids have some atomic arrangements that will fill the receptors in the taste buds also And they'll actually make it hard for you to taste the sugar anymore Or the sugar is not going to be attractive to you anymore in the same way in the intestine it attaches to your receptors on the outside of the intestinal cells and it stops the intestinal cells from taking the sugar molecules in and Lowers the blood sugar levels. On the other hand gymnema it really is great to stop the tongue tasting the Difference between sweet and bitter so sweet may may taste like bitter to you The glucose lowering effect of gymnemic acids actually start with a change of activity in the Incretins which are the hormones in the intestine that helps insulin to be released and screeded There are medications actually out there that does that like the ozampic or trilocity or victosa and rebalances Spiruline and so forth. They're all incretin mimetic drugs now gymnema on the other hand It is the herbal equivalent of these medications now You're using an herb that can do the same things that actually some expensive medications can do and if it works for you Why not use medications, right? But gymnema also helps the pancreatic cells to regenerate So see when you are diabetic you already lost 50 60% of your Beta cells if you're type 2 diabetic, so you don't want to lose any more beta cells So a gymnema as a result is a great herb to help you prevent further damage or further cell death When you do that the enzymes that help you to keep your blood sugar down will also work better now This medicine also like we talked about you know It prevents the glucose absorption and fatty acids in your intestine It also stops the receptors in your mouth and intestine that sends the sweetness There is a key enzyme in the process of breaking down Glucose which is called Glyceroldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and that enzyme is a huge factor in Gymnemic acid has been found to interact with this enzyme. This pathway Causes blood sugar levels to rise by breaking down the glycogen stores Especially when people are starving, but you know when you have diabetes you don't have to have starving You know these enzymes are over activated so gymnema will break that pattern So your blood sugar is not gonna keep rising even when you're fasting. Now next is fenugreek again That's in our supplement as well It's an aromatic plant that can be used in many different ways in both cooking and as a medicine as well It is an important part of actually Indian curries if you like the Indian food Accepted Indian food can be very carby sometimes But this plant has small round leaves and long pods with a unique bitter tasting seeds They're very common in South Asia, North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean It is also common in parts of North America. Now, how does it work? Let's talk about that. The fenugreek can help lower blood sugar by Causing the insulin to rise or release from beta cells After you eat fenugreek has a lot of health benefits and is used in our Vatican traditional Chinese medicine for centuries It's also used a lot in cooking if you want to bite you can either bite fresh or dried You can also bite whole and grind it or just buy the sugar MD advanced glucose support If you're not a big fan of fenugreek in your dishes, right? But the fenugreek has been studied a lot to see if it can help people with diabetes That's why we put a lot of high-quality fenugreek in our very concentrated form in our advanced glucose support formula Because fenugreek seeds have been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve glucose tolerance in people in diabetic people It can also help with the metabolic symptoms of diabetes the thirst the hunger the fatigue and weight gain and so forth Now researchers in India since they love that kind of stuff there found that the adding fenugreek seed powder to your daily diet If you're an insulin-dependent diabetic these patients definitely even when they're insulin-dependent had lower sugar levels They had improved glucose tolerance. They had a better LDL the back cholesterol and triglyceride levels when they're using fenugreek every day So people with top three diabetes who added powdered fenugreek seeds to a meal They ate and they when they did that with they cut their blood sugar quite a bit Now people who took fenugreek twice a day for like three months also has seen a drop in their advanced levels Now besides being good for your health. What else does fenugreek do now free radicals as you know are unstable chemicals That can damage the cells in your body and when you have diabetes you have a lot of those When you have diabetes the fenugreek seeds they have this vitamins and minerals and antioxidants that can actually help protect the cells From these free radicals as a result it can help prevent diabetes Complications as well not just lowering your blood sugar But fenugreek has also even been used by nursing mothers for to generate even more milk So is just a miracle herb that helps in many ways They are also often used as a herbal remedy even to treat cold and sore throat Etc for immune support because they also have a powerful antiviral properties Now again according to research fenugreek seeds can help with arthritis High cholesterol skin problems wounds rashes and boils bronchitis even obsesses Of course with the abscess you will need antibiotic or drink sometimes But that will definitely help prevent that it can help with the constipation abscess stomach window problems kidney problems heartburn infertility and even some types of sexual dysfunction as well now jambalon or jambalana or the scientific name is Sigeum Kamini in scientific terms, right? So but some people call it just Malabar plum or Java plum or black plum or jamoon or whatever There's so many names for the same thing. They all mean the same thing But the jambalon we call the jambalon in our supplement is used in folk medicine to treat diabetes Now taking extracts from the seeds and the bark of the jambalon plant will lower blood sugar But interesting enough extracts from the leaves and the fruit for example Don't seem to lower the blood sugar because some supplements you buy for example They'll say they have jambalon in it may not work as well because if they're not really using the jambalon seeds exactly So this is why it makes a difference. What kind of supplement you're buying and where you're getting it from There's also chemicals and jambalon that might protect against oxidation. It is also used for digestive problems such as You know philatulins, bowel spasms, stomach problems, and diarrhea Another thing that it can be used for is treating lung problems like bronchitis and asthma Now some people use jambalon as an aphrodisiac to make them even more interested in having sex I cannot guarantee you that depending on your age, but something to consider Now for constipation, jambalon seed is used in combination with other herbs as well It is also used for pancreatitis or prevention of pancreatitis Stomach problems and anxiety disorders even for depression. There are times when Jambalon can be directly put into your mouth and throat to help with the pain caused by swelling and inflammation Then you have a severe cold, etc It can also be used sometimes to treat the skin infections and skin ulcers, etc Of course in modern medicine, they don't use it, but in India and China. They still use these approaches Now the next one is Suercia. The Suercia plant x-rax of Suercia, for example, can be made from different parts of the herb It can help people with diabetes that studies already has been done The phyllovanoids in the plant x-rax make it a very good at preventing diabetic complications as well. Now This herb is native to Himalayas and that herb Suercia Choreata has been used in traditional medicine to treat a lot of illnesses as well Now some of them include the liver disorders Of course diabetes and it's known to have a wide range of pharmacological properties You can find a lot of information about it, especially in the Indian and British literature and Different types of traditional medicine like Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Now other than the diabetes We know this plant also has liver protection, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic Antiviral and antimicrobial as well. So which are all good for you The next one is Amla another one in our supplement again like everyone else we discussed It is also called Ambalica Oficinalis and has been used in Ayurveda for a long time There are active compounds in that fruit that make this Amla fruit so good for you. Now that's in the fruit not the other parts of the amla, right? So how you extract these herbs make a whole lot of difference in terms of their efficacy in terms of lowering your blood sugar so amla was first used to treat digestive problems the coughs and asthma and Improve even the hair growth if you have a bonus problem and of course as a longevity medicine as well However recent studies shown that it can be a great part of a diabetic diet it has a great effect on blood sugar and Most sample fruits amla fruits have yellow green and they're kind of a round shape Not only that are used to make medicine, but they also make great dishes and pickles etc It has a lot of antioxidants in them people who eat a lot of whole foods like amla are they get the best source of antioxidants There are 60 times more antioxidant than pomegranates for example in amla 50 times more antioxidants than blueberries Twice as many as turmeric So you figure 45 to 70% of it is antioxidant powder comes from the vitamin C in it That is totally natural in there now amla keeps cancer at bay as well The studies have shown that taking amla can prevent the long cervix and breast cancer as well as other types of cancer The amla extra can help the multiple enzymes and remove harmful mutations from the immune cells as well Amla also improves your HDL and lowers your LDL level and your total cholesterol So again, that's a common problem with diabetes Triglyceride problems and so forth This is one of the many benefits that amla can give her diabetes So lowering the cholesterol and lowering the blood sugar directly it increases your HDL Which is a great protective cholesterol component as well now Triglycerides as you know is a harmful lipid and can give you heart disease and so forth and so many other problems Now amla also helps your kidneys stay safe.
