Product description

Dietary supplement Gluco Spectrum® is a carefully formulated blend of active ingredients that support glucose metabolism.

Gluco Spectrum® contains:

Gurmar leaf extract (Gymnema sylvestre), standardized to gymnemic acids:

Supports glucose homeostasis by reducing monosaccharide absorption in the small intestine – gymnemic acids may compete with glucose for binding sites on SGLT1 transporters, leading to lower postprandial glucose levels,
Supports β-cell regeneration and enhances endogenous insulin secretion.
Improves insulin sensitivity by influencing the expression and activity of GLUT4 transporters in muscle and fat cells.
Supports key glucose-metabolizing enzymes (hexokinase, glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), promoting energy production via glycolysis.
May reduce fasting glucose and HbA1c levels, supporting glycemic stability.
May support weight reduction through effects on fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Bitter melon fruit extract (Momordica charantia):

Enhances glucose uptake by activating GLUT4 and improving tissue insulin sensitivity.
Activates AMPK, increasing glucose and fatty acid utilization.
Inhibits carbohydrate-digesting enzymes (e.g., α-glucosidase), reducing postprandial glucose spikes.
Supports β-cell regeneration and insulin secretion.
Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection for pancreatic and vascular cells.

Ceylon cinnamon bark extract (Cinnamomum verum), standardized to 10% cinnamaldehyde:

Enhances insulin receptor activity and signal transmission, improving glucose uptake.
Promotes GLUT4 translocation to cell membranes.
Inhibits α-glucosidase, slowing carbohydrate digestion.
Offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protecting pancreatic and vascular tissues.

Inositol (myo- and D-chiro-inositol):

Both forms support insulin signaling and glucose metabolism.
Myo-inositol promotes glucose transport into cells by enhancing insulin receptor and GLUT activity.
D-chiro-inositol supports glucose storage and energy conversion through glycogen synthesis.

Berberis aristata root extract (Rebersa®), standardized to 97% berberine chloride:

Activates AMPK, promoting glucose utilization and improved insulin sensitivity.

Zinc (zinc L-methionine sulfate monohydrate):

Highly bioavailable organic form of zinc.
Supports insulin synthesis and receptor activity in pancreatic β-cells.
Protects cells from oxidative stress and supports carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
Contributes to immune and hormonal balance, indirectly aiding metabolic stability.

Glucose metabolism and its principles

Glucose is the primary source of energy for human cells, and its concentration in the blood is precisely regulated by complex hormonal mechanisms. The key roles are played by insulin, which facilitates the transport of glucose into cells, and glucagon, which stimulates the release of glucose from the liver in situations of energy deficiency.

Maintaining glycemic homeostasis (the balance of blood glucose levels) is essential for proper metabolic function. Chronic hyperglycemia (excessive glucose levels) leads to protein glycation, increased oxidative stress, and endothelial damage. As a result, cells age faster, blood vessels lose elasticity, and the risks of atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure increase. Long-term hyperglycemia also contributes to neuropathy and retinopathy, which are common complications of diabetes.

In contrast, chronic hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels) limits the energy supply to the brain, which depends almost entirely on glucose. Initially, this causes irritability, poor concentration, and fatigue, but in more severe cases it can lead to disorientation, seizures, loss of consciousness, or even hypoglycemic coma. In elderly or chronically ill individuals, hypoglycemia is also associated with an increased risk of falls and cardiovascular complications.

A normal fasting blood glucose level in adults typically ranges from 70 to 99 mg/dl. Any disruption of this balance indicates metabolic dysfunction and requires medical evaluation. Regular glucose monitoring, a low-glycemic index diet, and physical activity are key elements in preventing metabolic disorders.

A glucose spike (also known as a postprandial glucose spike) is a sudden, short-term rise in blood glucose levels that occurs after eating, especially after consuming foods high in rapidly absorbed carbohydrates (such as simple sugars, white bread, sweets, or sugary drinks).

How does it happen?

After such a meal, glucose is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. The pancreas responds by releasing a large amount of insulin, which allows cells to take in glucose and helps restore normal blood sugar levels.
In people with insulin resistance or impaired carbohydrate metabolism, this insulin response may be delayed or insufficient, causing glucose levels to remain elevated for longer than normal.

Why are glucose spikes undesirable?

Frequent or pronounced glucose spikes can lead to:

Increased insulin demand and eventual insulin resistance,
Energy fluctuations (feeling tired or hungry shortly after eating),
Oxidative stress and inflammation, which contribute to cellular aging and vascular damage,
Greater long-term risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic imbalance.

Maintaining stable glucose levels through balanced meals (rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats), physical activity, and regular eating patterns helps reduce glucose spikes and supports metabolic health.

Breakfast is the first meal after the overnight fasting period, during which the body receives no external source of energy for several hours. Its quality and composition have a significant impact on blood glucose levels throughout the day.

Skipping breakfast leads to prolonged elevation of cortisol levels, which enhances hepatic gluconeogenesis (glucose production in the liver) and contributes to irregular glucose fluctuations after later meals. People who skip breakfast more often experience sudden drops in energy, increased hunger, and a tendency to consume meals that are higher in calories and glycemic index.

A high-glycemic breakfast (e.g., sweet pastries, cornflakes, fruit juices) causes a rapid rise in blood glucose and insulin, followed by a quick drop, which promotes feelings of hunger and increased energy intake later in the day.

In contrast, a low-glycemic breakfast rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber (e.g., whole-grain bread, eggs, vegetables, seeds, fermented dairy products) leads to more stable glucose release, reduces the risk of sharp glycemic fluctuations, and improves appetite control throughout the day.

Therefore, regular breakfast consumption supports glycemic homeostasis, reduces the risk of insulin resistance, and enhances cognitive performance, particularly in the morning when the brain needs an efficient energy source.
