BERBERINE FOR GLUCOSE METABOLISM AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
A placebo-controlled study provided the first evidence that berberine is a valuable supplement for diabetes and cardiovascular health. Berberine was shown to lower blood glucose, HbA1c (the best measure of long term blood sugar and diabetes control), triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol significantly better than a placebo in people with type 2 diabetes.When type 2 diabetics were given either berberine or the diabetes drug metformin, the berberine was equally effective for blood glucose, HbA1c and insulin. Berberine had an advantage over the drug, though, because it also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. The study also found that adding the same dose of berberine to the treatment of people whose type 2 diabetes was not being adequately managed by drugs significantly lowered blood glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, total cholesterol and the harmful LDL cholesterol.A third study compared berberine to two drugs: metformin and rosiglitazone. Berberine’s effectiveness was similar to the drugs. It significantly lowered fasting blood glucose levels, insulin, triglycerides and HbA1c in type 2 diabetics. In vitro, berberine increased the number and responsiveness of insulin receptor cells.A meta-analysis of 27 controlled studies found that berberine was as effective as drugs for diabetes, equal to drugs for lowering total and LDL cholesterol and superior to drugs for lowering triglycerides and raising the heart healthy HDL cholesterol. It also found that berberine is superior to placebo for high blood pressure.Berberine has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure. Adding berberine to conventional treatment of congestive heart failure has been shown to significantly improve the results and significantly lower the number of deaths.

Natural Factors WellBetX Berberine 500mg
If you’re working on maintaining your blood sugar or cholesterol levels, you need to know about an enzyme called AMPK – your body’s metabolic master switch. When this switch is activated, you supercharge your body’s ability to metabolize blood sugar and cholesterol. How can you “turn on” this switch? One way is with berberine, a plant alkaloid found in goldenseal and Oregon grape root.
Our berberine is sustainably sourced from barberry and provides a clinically studied amount of 500 mg per vegetarian capsule, so you reap all the berberine benefits.
Benefits
Supports blood sugar balance
Helps support healthy cholesterol levels
Helps maintain cardiovascular health
Feature Summary
Blood glucose (sugar) management is a key part of maintaining a healthy body, yet millions of Canadians struggle with ailments related to poorly controlled blood sugar and insulin levels. The unique ways in which WellBetX Berberine acts on the body makes it a useful natural option for improving blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.
Berberine is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the roots of various plants, including barberry, goldenseal, and Oregon grape, and is likely responsible for the beneficial effects of traditional tonics made from these plants. Modern evidence shows berberine works to restore the insulin sensitivity needed to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and promotes cardiovascular health by helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in people with poorly controlled blood sugar.
Every vegetarian capsule provides 500 mg of pure berberine, the same concentration used successfully in clinical trials to enhance insulin sensitivity and prompt a hypoglycemic effect that supports weight management. By lowering blood sugar berberine minimizes the body’s production of insulin, the fat-storing hormone.
All WellBetX products are made with the highest quality ingredients. They provide essential nutritional support designed to balance blood sugar and promote cardiovascular health when paired with a nutritious diet and physical activity.

Natural Factors Chromium GTF Chelate is naturally derived from yeast and is highly absorbable. A mineral that is required by the body in small amounts, chromium is essential for metabolic processes that regulate blood sugar, and helps insulin transport glucose into cells, where it can be used for energy.
Uses & Benefits
Balances blood glucose levels
Helps curb sugar cravings
May aid in the maintenance of healthy weight
Feature Summary
Chromium is a mineral that is required by the body in small amounts. As it forms a part of a compound in the body known as Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), chromium is essential for metabolic processes that regulate blood sugar, and helps insulin transport glucose into cells, where it can be used for energy. Chromium maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization and therefore helps maintain normal metabolism and proper weight.
As it enhances the action of insulin, chromium is necessary for storage of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It is needed for energy production and is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins. Inadequate intake of chromium has been linked to glucose intolerance.
Natural Factors Chromium GTF Chelate is a very easily absorbed form of chromium, naturally derived from yeast in the safe trivalent form. GTF chromium is naturally bound to glycine, glutamic acid, cysteine, and niacin. Each tablet contains 500 mcg of chromium, to be taken once daily, and is free from artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners, soy, yeast, and wheat.

New Roots Blood Sugar Balance
Blood Sugar Balance is a comprehensive and holistic approach to the restoration and maintenance of normal blood glucose. It addresses the primary concerns associated with maintaining healthy blood-sugar control.
The nutrients in Blood Sugar Balance work from several different perspectives; they exert an insulin-like effect, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy nerves from free-radical damage associated with unregulated blood-sugar levels.
Diabetes can lead to complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, renal problems, high cholesterol, and hypertension. Blood Sugar Balance harnesses cutting-edge nutraceuticals for natural blood-glucose management integral to good health.
According to Diabetes Canada, one in three Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes. The staggering statistic is that 90% of cases are type 2 diabetes, which is related to impaired insulin production or poor insulin receptivity. The good news is that lifestyle changes such as eating more whole foods, reducing sugar intake (this includes reading labels for hidden sugars), and leading a more active lifestyle can lessen type 2 severity.
Many people do not realize they have blood-sugar-control concerns, nor do they seek medical advice until it has progressed to a serious stage. Early signs include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and excessive appetite; these symptoms should not be ignored. Genetics can also lead to diabetes, so an awareness of your family medical history can help in addition to adopting a healthy lifestyle. Blood Sugar Balance can also prove to be an ally for getting the most out of life while living with diabetes.

Healthy glucose metabolism
Natural Factors Chromium Picolinate enhances the action of insulin, metabolizes glucose, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. As most North Americans are at risk of chromium deficiency, supplementing with easily absorbed chromium picolinate ensures adequate levels of chromium, maintains healthy blood sugar balance, and reduces food cravings.
Uses & Benefits
Improves blood sugar control
Helps the body metabolize carbohydrates and fats
Helps prevent chromium deficiency
Helps reduce carbohydrate cravings
May reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Feature Summary
Chromium is an essential mineral for enhancing the action of insulin, metabolizing sugar (glucose), and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Although it is naturally present in food in trace amounts, the majority of North Americans do not get enough chromium in their diet and are at risk of gradually developing a deficiency. Elevated cortisol levels caused by stress can also deplete the bodys chromium. Chromium deficiency can lead to elevated levels of blood sugar and insulin.Chromium supplements have been shown to improve blood sugar balance in people with glucose intolerance, and can reduce food cravings and improve appetite regulation. Chromium may also be useful in managing reactive hypoglycemia, a condition where blood sugar falls below normal after eating.
Inadequate chromium intake is linked to increased levels of low density (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased levels of high density (good) cholesterol, factors that heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chromium picolinate is the form of chromium most easily absorbed by the body, which is why it is often used in clinical trials. Easily absorbed Natural Factors Chromium Picolinate is an effective way to obtain your daily requirement of this essential mineral.

Highly bio-available berberine in a delayed release (DR) vegetarian capsule
Helps to control blood sugar levels
Improves insulin sensitivity
Helps to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)
Berberine TPGS is a well-researched orthomolecular combination of ingredients that provides a significantly higher Berberine coefficient of absorption and utilization.
Berberine is an alkaloid present in several plants such as Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) and Chinese Goldthread (Coptis chinensis). Recent and more thorough studies of Berberine were carried out establishing clearly that Berberine has a therapeutic use in metabolic syndrome (MSyn) characterized by high blood sugar and A1c levels.
Berberine is poorly absorbed across the gut wall and therefore high doses must be taken to achieve therapeutic results. In addition, Berberine is degraded by stomach acids. Berberine TPGS is encapsulated in delay-release (DR) capsules to minimize the impact of stomach acids. It also contains a support belnd that significantly improves absorption, bio-availability and utilization. Therefore, lower dosages of Berberine are needed but with increased efficacy. This also means less probability of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Berberine TPGS targets to control glucose metabolism in part by activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and by increasing expression of insulin receptors and therefore reducing insulin resistance. The activation of AMPK tells the body to burn fats for energy which, by doing so, can also lead to weight loss.

Healthy glucose metabolism
Natural Factors Chromium Picolinate enhances the action of insulin, metabolizes glucose, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. As most North Americans are at risk of chromium deficiency, supplementing with easily absorbed chromium picolinate ensures adequate levels of chromium, maintains healthy blood sugar balance, and reduces food cravings.
Uses & Benefits
Improves blood sugar control
Helps the body metabolize carbohydrates and fats
Helps prevent chromium deficiency
Helps reduce carbohydrate cravings
May reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Feature Summary
Chromium is an essential mineral for enhancing the action of insulin, metabolizing sugar (glucose), and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Although it is naturally present in food in trace amounts, the majority of North Americans do not get enough chromium in their diet and are at risk of gradually developing a deficiency. Elevated cortisol levels caused by stress can also deplete the body’s chromium. Chromium deficiency can lead to elevated levels of blood sugar and insulin.
Chromium supplements have been shown to improve blood sugar balance in people with glucose intolerance, and can reduce food cravings and improve appetite regulation. Chromium may also be useful in managing reactive hypoglycemia, a condition where blood sugar falls below normal after eating.
Inadequate chromium intake is linked to increased levels of low density (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased levels of high density (good) cholesterol, factors that heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chromium picolinate is the form of chromium most easily absorbed by the body, which is why it is often used in clinical trials. Easily absorbed Natural Factors Chromium Picolinate is an effective way to obtain your daily requirement of this essential mineral.

CanPrev Blood Sugar Support
Regulates blood sugar levels
Provides antioxidant protection
Provides support for eyes and nerves
We all have blood glucose (sugar) that courses through our veins and supplies our cells with much needed energy. But there’s no sugarcoating the fact that consistently high blood glucose levels can silently cause many diseases. Not everyone knows they’re at risk, monitors their blood glucose or has an easy time keeping their blood glucose balanced. But everyone does have access to products that can help.
CanPrev’s Blood Sugar Support, a comprehensive daily formula containing herbs, antioxidants and extracts has been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels and counteract oxidative stress. As you breathe in oxygen, your cells produce energy and form highly reactive molecules called free radicals and oxidative stress occurs. When we don’t have enough antioxidants (molecules that neutralize free radicals) in our bodies that we get from certain vitamins and minerals, free radicals can go on to damage vital cells and leave the door open to start many debilitating diseases.
Blood Sugar Support contains 200 milligrams of the potent antioxidant DL-Alpha lipoic acid and and 75 milligrams of grape seed extract to help fight against free radicals and relieve symptoms of swelling in the lower legs related to non-complicated chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
Another concern diabetics have to be vigilant of is Insulin resistance. Having too much blood glucose in your system puts insulin production into overdrive and before you know it, you’re insulin resistant – your cells no longer roll out the welcome mat when insulin tries to escort some friendly carbohydrate energy inside. Ingredients like gymnema extract, Chinese cassia cinnamon, fenugreek, and chromium in Blood Sugar Support tag team to help maintain healthy blood glucose level.
Let Blood Sugar Support help get your blood glucose levels back on track. There’s nothing sweeter than living the balanced life you want.

The hypoglycemic Ayurvedic herb
Helps suppress sugar cravings naturally
Promotes cardiovascular health
Helps maintain normal insulin levels
Supports healthy glucose metabolism
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody branched vine growing in the wild forests of Central and South India. The plant has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for many different conditions, but is mainly known for enhancing blood sugar metabolism. It does this by reducing glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity, and some evidence even suggests that it may support the body’s ability to produce its own insulin by helping to repair the cells in the pancreas that make it. Clinical trials have found that gymnema can lower blood glucose and decrease the need for insulin in both insulin-dependent (type 1) and insulin-independent (type 2) diabetes.
Balancing blood sugar will help not only to manage diabetes but also to reduce weight gain. When used as a mouthwash, gymnema inhibits the sensation of sweetness by interfering with the tongue’s sugar receptors. Gymnema has been found to lower blood lipids in diabetic subjects and it also inhibits the growth of Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungus that is known to cause a wide array of health issues.
AOR Advantage
AOR’s Gymnema-75 is an evidence-based, high dose extract of Gymnema sylvestre. Those looking for a natural support for blood sugar management and candida control will benefit from supplementing with this ancient Indian herb.

New Roots Chromium Picolinate
The benefits of our Chromium Picolinate include weight loss, lowered serum cholesterol and glucose, increased burning of fat, and muscle growth.
Chromium picolinate is a patented version of the trace element chromium, chemically bound to picolinic acid.
The body produces picolinic acid as a mechanism to improve the assimilation of trace minerals at the cellular level. Fully reacted chromium in picolinate form saves the body a metabolic step and improves the rate of absorption. Studies have shown chromium picolinate supplementation to improve metabolism as well as to lower blood serum cholesterol and glucose levels. Chromium enhances the ability of insulin to lower serum glucose levels; this has a favourable effect on the development of coronary heart disease, as diabetes is a major risk factor.
Athletes that train extensively should also consider supplementation, as excessive excretion through perspiration can lead to a deficiency.

Glucogreen Glucose Control
Glucogreen is a unique combination of an herb (White Mulberry), two transition metals (Chromium and Vanadium), and an organosulfur compound (Alpha Lipoic Acid) to help promote healthy glucose metabolism.
About the Individual Ingredients:
While glucose is hardly something we'd want to get rid of (it's our cells' primary energy source!), we do want to keep its levels under control to prevent blood sugar spikes (which can trigger symptoms like fatigue, blurred vision, or headaches) and risking damage to our blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and other organs.
White Mulberry contains compounds which affect how quickly sugars get broken down in the gut to get absorbed into the blood. Studies indicate it can produce a significant reduction in postprandial glucose (PPG) levels (the concentrations of plasma glucose) not only 30 but 60 and 90 minutes after eating.
DL-alpha-lipoic acid is not only an antioxidant which can help improve neuronal function and prevent certain kinds of cell damage (including the retinal damage and neuropathy or nerve damage that can be associated with diabetes), but also improve insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.
Chromium and Vanadium, which are sometimes also paired together in related products, may also enhance or complement how our bodies use the insulin hormone to enable our cells to take up the glucose being circulated to use for energy.
In some respects, vanadium appears to act like insulin, and as nutritional support, it also appears that may help to improve how the actual insulin is used, among some people with type 2 diabetes. Similarly, some studies have found that chromium works to improve blood sugar metabolism not only in people with type II diabetes, but also in obese people.
Naming Note: this product may also be marketed as Nutridom Glucose Control or Nutridom Mulberry Max.
Glucogreen Ingredients:
Each capsule contains:
200 mg White Mulberry (Morus alba - leaf) (4:1 concentration, 800 DHE*) (2% 1-deoxynojirimycin)300 mg DL-alpha-Lipoic acid75 mcg Chromium (Chromium chloride)25 mcg Vanadium (Vanadium sulfate)

Healthy blood sugar
WellBetX Mulberry Extract from Natural Factors is a unique herbal extract designed to help balance and promote healthy blood sugar levels. One convenient capsule provides 100 mg of high potency white mulberry extract, standardized to contain the correct potency of key plant actives.
Feature Summary
White mulberry extract, from the leaves of the Morus alba tree, contains several compounds that act as alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitors. Alpha-glucosidase enzymes break down carbohydrates into highly absorbable glucose molecules in the intestines. When these enzymes are inhibited, glucose is released more slowly from food, preventing the initial spike in blood sugar levels after eating, and the resulting spike in insulin secretion. It prolongs glucose absorption so that glucose levels remain more stable between meals.
White mulberry extract also contains several antioxidant compounds that protect against inflammation and cellular damage caused by free radicals. The antioxidant activity of white mulberry is especially beneficial to the vascular system. It protects blood vessel walls from free radical damage, and prevents the oxidation of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Antioxidants can help prevent the circulatory problems associated with diabetes.
WellBetX Mulberry Extract from Natural Factors provides 100 mg of high potency white mulberry extract in each capsule. The extract is standardized to 0.5% of key plant active 1-deoxynojirimycin to ensure effective blood sugar regulation. It is an excellent complement to other products in the WellBetX line.

New Roots Glucose Align
Formulated with seven clinically proven nutrients to support normal blood sugar levels.
All ingredients were tested in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory for identity, purity, and potency; they were also validated and gluten-, wheat-, soy-, and dairy-free.
Formulated with berberine, resveratrol, cinnamon, ᴅʟ-alpha-lipoic acid, bitter melon, Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract, and chromium picolinate.
The synergistic formula helps drive blood sugar into cells for better utilization and increased vitality.
Glucose Align combines seven potency-validated, clinically researched ingredients in a cutting-edge, advanced formula. When combined with some dietary modifications and increased physical activity, it could lead to a cascade of health benefits in your blood-glucose journey.
According to Diabetes Canada, more than 6 million Canadians are living with prediabetes, which can lead to type 2 diabetes if not managed, posing a substantial future health risk. The good news is the emergence of nutraceuticals shows promise for maintaining normal blood glucose levels. These supplements can energize glucose-starved cells and help maintain blood sugar levels, thereby protecting the circulatory system, eyes, kidneys, feet, and nerves from high glucose-related damage.
Naturally sourced berberine and resveratrol form the basis of Glucose Align, providing therapeutic quantities of compounds that have been clinically researched for improved glycemic control. Cinnamon and Gymnema sylvestre further promote insulin secretion while bitter melon enhances glucose uptake. ᴅʟ-alpha-Lipoic acid helps in two ways, promoting healthy glucose metabolism while its antioxidant action helps prevent nerve damage from free radicals. Lastly, chromium, an essential trace mineral, can help with healthy glucose metabolism.
If you are experiencing unusual thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight fluctuations, and fatigue, it’s time to visit your healthcare practitioner, as these could be signs of prediabetes. Making a few lifestyle changes and considering a natural supplement like Glucose Align could help you manage your health more effectively.

New Roots Grass-Fed Lamb Pancreas
New Roots Herbal’s Pure Pancreas is sourced from pasture-fed New Zealand lamb, and freeze-fried for freshness and potency.
The pancreas acts as a hybrid organ; it produces enzymes critical for digestion and manufactures the hormones insulin and glucagon. Glucagon converts energy stored within the liver to glucose, and insulin allows cells to absorb glucose to fuel cellular respiration.
Stress, alcohol consumption, exposure to environmental toxins, and aging are among the many factors that can compromise pancreatic function. With advancements in the isolation and synthesis of specific hormones, glandular therapy has decreased in Western medicine; however, it’s still a popular therapeutic strategy employed in traditional Chinese medicine and contemporary naturopathic practice. The roots of glandular therapy stem from the philosophy that oral consumption of an animal gland will strengthen the corresponding gland in the host (you). The scientific basis for animal glandulars is that they’re a rich source of organ-specific nutrients in their naturally occurring form.
New Roots Herbal’s Pure Pancreas is sourced from grass-fed New Zealand lamb, free from pesticides, growth hormones, and antibiotics.
Directions of Use:
Adults: Take 1 tablet daily immediately before a meal/food or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
Duration of use:
Consult a health-care practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks.
Ingredients:
Each tablet contains:
Pancreas organ (from lamb [Ovis aries])*

New Roots Blood Sugar Balance
Blood Sugar Balance is a comprehensive and holistic approach to the restoration and maintenance of normal blood glucose. It addresses the primary concerns associated with maintaining healthy blood-sugar control.
The nutrients in Blood Sugar Balance work from several different perspectives; they exert an insulin-like effect, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy nerves from free-radical damage associated with unregulated blood-sugar levels.
Diabetes can lead to complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, renal problems, high cholesterol, and hypertension. Blood Sugar Balance harnesses cutting-edge nutraceuticals for natural blood-glucose management integral to good health.
According to Diabetes Canada, one in three Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes. The staggering statistic is that 90% of cases are type 2 diabetes, which is related to impaired insulin production or poor insulin receptivity. The good news is that lifestyle changes such as eating more whole foods, reducing sugar intake (this includes reading labels for hidden sugars), and leading a more active lifestyle can lessen type 2 severity.
Many people do not realize they have blood-sugar-control concerns, nor do they seek medical advice until it has progressed to a serious stage. Early signs include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and excessive appetite; these symptoms should not be ignored. Genetics can also lead to diabetes, so an awareness of your family medical history can help in addition to adopting a healthy lifestyle. Blood Sugar Balance can also prove to be an ally for getting the most out of life while living with diabetes.

Chromium Picolinate helps manage blood glucose levels
Chromium picolinate is a biologically active form of the trace element chromium, chemically bound to picolinic acid.The body produces picolinic acid as a mechanism to improve the assimilation of trace minerals at the cellular level. Fully reacted chromium in picolinate form saves the body a metabolic step and improves the rate of absorption. Studies have shown chromium picolinate supplementation to improve metabolism as well as to lower glucose levels. Chromium enhances the ability of insulin to lower serum glucose levels; this can be beneficial for those with common risk factors for metabolic syndrome, a group of health problems that increase the mortality rate of North Americans.Athletes that train extensively should also consider supplementation, as excessive excretion through perspiration can lead to a deficiency.DIRECTIONS OF USEAdults: Take 1–2 capsules daily with food or as directed by your health-care practitioner.Duration of use: Consult a health-care practitioner for use beyond 6 months.INGREDIENTSEach vegetable capsule contains:Chromium (from chromium picolinate) 200 mcgOther ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable magnesium stearate in a non‑GMO vegetable capsule made of vegetable carbohydrate gum and purified water.
