The specific ingredients in QualityLab Dia Gold are being used by progressive physicians and natural healers to care for diabetic patients as follows:
Gymnema Sylvestre is known as the “destroyer of sugar” and it significantly reduces the metabolic effects of sugar by preventing the intestines from absorbing sugar molecules during the digestion process. Gymnemic acid fills the receptor locations in the absorptive external layers of the intestine, thereby preventing the intestine from absorbing sugar molecules. Extensive research shows that Gymnema leaves raise insulin levels in healthy volunteers. Based on animal studies, this action may be due to regeneration of the cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Other animal research shows that Gymnema can also improve the uptake of glucose into cells and prevent adrenaline from stimulating the liver to produce glucose, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. The leaves are also noted for lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
