Glucose Care™

Patient One Glucose Care™ combines clinically supported and highly bioavailable nutrients and botanicals to promote insulin sensitivity and support healthy blood sugar levels. Formulated with a blend of advanced ingredients, Glucose Care is an ideal formula for those seeking natural support for glucose metabolism.

Key Ingredients

Chromium is supplied as ChromeMate®, a unique, patented niacin-bound chromium complex that significantly increases the bioavailability and biological activity of chromium. ChromeMate enhances insulin’s ability to bind to cells, promotes increased insulin receptor numbers on cells, and supports insulin’s ability to detect glucose molecules in the blood. Chromium is often deficient in those with impaired glucose metabolism.

Cinnulin PF® is a patented water-soluble extract of cinnamon bark. 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 wellness. Cinnamon has been studied extensively for its roles in glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, insulin action, and support for healthy blood lipid metabolism.

Compromised glucose metabolism has been linked with manganese deficiency, which can bring about pancreatic insufficiencies. Manganese (as TRAACS® Manganese Glycinate Chelate) 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 help support pancreatic function.

Vanadium (provided as TRAACS® Vanadium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate) is believed to enhance the effects of insulin and can also help support balanced glucose metabolism. Vanadium may be useful for those who do not have sufficient levels of insulin, as vanadium promotes insulin function rather than mimics it.

Our formula supplies zinc as TRAACS® Zinc Glycinate Chelate. Zinc plays an important role in enhancing insulin’s ability to bind to receptors on cell membranes and transport glucose into the cells to be used as energy. This mineral is also needed for the beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin. Additionally, zinc is an integral component of antioxidant enzymes and a cofactor for enzymatic processes in glucose metabolism. Weakened glucose metabolism may lead to zinc malabsorption and increased excretion of zinc by the kidneys.

Thiamine is a cofactor for two important enzymes which are fundamental for intracellular glucose metabolism. Found in nerve tissue, thiamine also modulates nerve impulse transmission. In individuals with elevated blood sugar, thiamine is excreted by the kidney at a rate of 16 to 25 times higher than normal.

Vitamin B6, as pyridoxine, is another important coenzyme. It is important for amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. Studies show that vitamin B6 deficiency is strongly associated with glucose intolerance and reduced secretion of insulin and glucagon.
