The world's top ten sugar-lowering raw materials
In fact, many organisms in nature complement and counteract each other. There are many natural high-quality raw materials for hypoglycemia in nature, which can effectively relieve the discomfort of diabetic patients. The following are the top ten natural hypoglycemic raw materials in the world. Please use the natural resources around you to improve your physical condition at a lower cost and in a healthier way.
NO 1: Coptis chinensis/Phellodendron chinense-berberine
Berberine has been a trendsetter in the market in the past two years and has attracted much attention in the blood sugar reduction and weight loss markets. The raw materials of Coptis chinensis/Phellodendron chinense bark are mostly in Southeast Asia, and Phellodendron chinense is an endangered species in China. The blood sugar reduction effect of berberine is to activate the activity of GLP-1, thereby suppressing appetite, reducing food intake, and ultimately lowering blood sugar.
NO 2: Mulberry leaf--α-nojirimycin
Mulberry leaves are known as "magic grass" in China. They have the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, calming the liver, and lowering blood sugar. α-Nojirimycin, mulberry leaf flavonoids, and mulberry leaf polysaccharides in mulberry leaves have significant hypoglycemic effects, can inhibit the activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, and improve insulin resistance, and have multiple hypoglycemic effects.
NO 3:Salacia chinensis L.
Salacia natural plant tea is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as having special effects in the treatment and prevention of diabetes. It is rich in kotanan ol and salacinol, both of which can effectively reduce the activity of α-glucosidase.
NO 4: Puerarin Root--Puerarin
Pueraria root is known as the "diabetes killer" in China. It has a history of nearly 2,000 years of application and has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. Modern research shows that puerarin in Pueraria root has a significant blood sugar-lowering effect, can improve insulin resistance, and promote glucose metabolism.
No. 5:Gymnema Sylvestre - Gymnema folate
Gymnema sylvestre is a perennial woody climbing plant with a long history of medicinal use in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known by the Hindi name "gurmar", which means "sugar destroyer". It works by stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
No. 6:Bitter melon - Bitter melon saponins
Bitter melon is a vegetable with a unique bitter taste. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, improving eyesight and detoxifying. The bitter melon saponins and polypeptide substances in bitter melon have a significant hypoglycemic effect, which can lower blood sugar levels and improve diabetic symptoms.
NO 7: Chromium
Insulin consumes chromium to work, and each molecule of insulin consumes 2 atoms of chromium. Chinese and American experts observed chromium supplementation in 180 diabetic patients for 4 months, and the results showed that the patients' blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin indicators were significantly improved.
No. 8: Corn silk - Zeaflavones
Corn silk is the cob part of corn, which has diuretic, anti-edema, and hypoglycemic effects. The flavonoids and polysaccharide components in corn silk have a significant hypoglycemic effect, can improve insulin resistance, and lower blood sugar levels.
No. 9: Astragalus - Astragalus polysaccharide
Astragalus is a good medicine for replenishing qi, which has the effects of replenishing qi, strengthening the exterior, diuresis, reducing swelling, and lowering blood sugar. The polysaccharides and flavonoids in Astragalus can enhance insulin sensitivity and promote glucose metabolism.
No.10: White kidney bean - amylase inhibitor
Modern scientific research shows that white kidney bean extract is rich in highly active α-amylase inhibitors, and its chemical composition is a complex glycoprotein, which is called "starch blocker" abroad. At present, a white kidney bean essence product has been developed in China. This product can inhibit the action of α-amylase, block starch decomposition, reduce glucose absorption, and thus play a role in reducing the increase in blood sugar after meals, reducing insulin secretion and reducing fat synthesis. It can effectively assist diabetics and dieters in dietary treatment, allowing them to eat a full meal and eliminate hunger while achieving the effect of low blood sugar and no weight gain after meals.
Of course, there are many other natural ingredients for lowering blood sugar, such as chestnut peel, rhubarb, Cyclocarya paliurus, loquat leaves, etc. Of course, compared with the above ten blood sugar lowering ingredients, the latter ones still need more verification.
