Properties: supports glucose metabolism and contributes to a balanced blood sugar level.

Diabetes is characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia, which leads to pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Hyperglycemia can lead to other disorders of the eyes, liver, nervous system, heart and blood vessels.

Cinnamon or Cinnamonum zeylanicum (bark) contains procyanidins, catechins and MHCP (methylhydroxychalconepolymer) as well as essential oil (1.2 to 4%), which mainly contains transcinnamaldehyde (45-75%) and eugenol. Cinnamon has a hypoglycaemic effect by stimulating insulin sensitivity and potentiating the effect of insulin. It also has an insulinelike effect, promoting the absorption of glucose by the cells. Cinnamon has an inhibitory effect on the formation of AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts). MHCP reduces insulin resistance in the muscles, increases glucose absorption by fat cells and promotes glycogen synthesis from glucose. It also helps prevent diabetic complications.

Fenugreek contains mucilage (20 to 30%), especially galactomannans, steroidal saponins (diosgenin), alkaloids (trigonelline), foenugraecine, soluble fibres, trigonelline and the amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine, etc. It is also rich in tryptophan and lysine. Fenugreek lowers blood sugar levels, as demonstrated in vitro by a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity. Trigonelline, nicotinic acid and coumarins act on glucose metabolism. Galactomannan is a vegetable gum that slows stomach emptying and the release of glucose into the intestine. Foenugraecin is hypoglycaemic. Fenugreek is a lipid-lowering agent, reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Several authors have described the hypoglycaemic properties of artichokes. Cynara scolymus contains chlorogenic acid, a powerful inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphatase. Chlorogenic acid reduces the absorption of glucose in the intestine. Caffeoylkina acid derivatives have an inhibitory effect on the α-glucosidase enzyme and lower blood sugar levels. Artichoke leaves are rich in inulin, which promotes intestinal transit and regulates bacterial intestinal flora, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, carbohydrate metabolism and glycaemic function.

Cinnamon, fenugreek and artichoke are antioxidants and lower blood lipid levels.

diabetes, unbalanced glucose metabolism, stimulates the β-cells of the pancreas

Do not use during pregnancy or while breast-feeding. Possible interaction with medicines that lower blood sugar levels and with insulin (a reduction in the dose of insulin may be indicated).
