Cinnamon Extract Fuel Burner

This formula is a patented water extract of cinnamon, CinSulin®, shown to powerfully influence glucose metabolism. The unique, proprietary extraction and dehydration process for manufacturing CinSulin® results in a concentrated (10:1) extract that minimizes undesirable substances, while retaining those that are health-promoting, such as type-A polyphenolic polymers. Standardized American ginseng, green tea, gymnema, and alpha-lipoic acid help protect pancreatic cells, support insulin sensitivity, and provide antioxidant activity.

Cinnamon has been studied extensively for its roles in glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, insulin action, and support for healthy blood lipids [1,2]. This therapeutic blend supports insulin sensitivity and promotes healthy blood sugar levels for those who are insulin resistant, diabetic or hypertensive dur to body fat levels. 

American Ginseng: Exhibits activities that support blood sugar levels already in the normal range [3,4].

Gymnema Leaf Extract: A water-soluble extract made from the leaves of Gymnema Sylvestre. Gymnema can enhance the effects of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents by reducing glucose absorption in the intestine, stimulating pancreatic beta cell growth, and possibly supporting endogenous insulin secretion. Gymnema may also support serum lipid levels already in the normal range [5].

Green Tea Polyphenols (ECGC): Protect red blood cells from oxidative stress, possibly supporting the health of tissues that could otherwise be affected by too high levels of blood glucose [6]. In research studies EGCG enhanced insulin activity [7], protected the pancreatic cells by reducing undesirable cytokines and reduced IFN-gamma-induced nitric oxide production.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): A potent antioxidant that acts by multiple mechanisms, both physiologically and pharmacologically, to support healthy peripheral nerves and maintain blood pressure already in the normal range [8,9]. In higher doses, ALA supports blood sugar levels already in the normal range.

Chromium: The Albion® TRAACS® patented process that combines chromium with glycinate and niacin increases its bioavailability and supports healthy glucose metabolism [10]. Individuals with poor glucose metabolism tend to have lower blood chromium levels. Chromium enhances the metabolic action of insulin and may support heart health, especially in overweight individuals.
