A quick look shows that it is a vegetable based "supplement" - so nothing pharmaceutical.

It does contain three (active) ingredients (and about a dozen others that are inert) that "historically" were used to help treat a number of conditions.

Ashwagandha, also called Indian Ginseng is reported to help calm the brain, reduce swelling (inflammation), lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system."

Chamomile - the (stuff) you can get in Tea's. The only actual research regarding it's benefits for diabetes was done in Japan. Japanese scientists gave a group of rats with diabetes a chamomile extract every day for three weeks. Researchers found that the rats consuming chamomile had significantly lower blood glucose levels.

Skullcap - a type of Mint. The dried roots of this plant have been used for centuries as a traditional Chinese medicine known as Huang Qin to treat diarrhea, insomnia, dysentery, high blood pressure, hemorrhaging, respiratory infections, and inflammation.

My personal view. There is a reason why Diabetes research has been producing new drugs to treat the disease, spending billions of dollars not even knowing if the product will ultimately work. It is because the "traditional" remedies "didn't work or didn't work well enough".

If these "traditional products" had of allowed you "to live diabetes free" as the advertisement says, then diabetes would have been a thing of the past 100 years ago.

I don't believe that "supplements" such as this has "zero value". Type 2 is a metabolic disorder so anything you can do to improve your metabolism, reduce inflammation and pain will absolutely have a positive effect on your blood sugar.

But at 50 bucks a bottle you could get similar results cutting a mere 10 carbs a day from your diet.

The biggest problem I have with the product is the "wild claims" including " break free from type 2 diabetes in just a few weeks".

Seriously? This product is going to fix my pancreas so that it is producing insulin normally while destroying any trace of insulin resistance in my body?

Of course, if you read the fine print at the bottom of their page you get the "Individual results may vary which is quite normal for anything"

So if you pay your money and get zero results you were probably just one of those individuals whose "results varied".

Supplements can be good. But treat them as "what they are". A LITTLE bit of help in your OVERALL treatment plan which includes diet, exercise, medications if necessary and a supplement or two to help out.

If there was a "pill" you could pop once a day and cure diabetes, this group wouldn't exist - whether or not some doctor got fired because Big Pharma didn't want the secret getting out so this product is being manufactured at a secret facility and is only available on line via an ultra-secure retail process :)

Well Jeer I would very much consult my physician regarding this. Certain supplements can do more harm than good to the body. Better to be safe right??
