Glucofort Reviews 2024

Glucofort Ingredients

Glucofort Vitamin Blend

Vitamin E - Vitamin E has been shown to improve glycaemic control in people with pre diabetes and diabetes, it is recommended as a supplement medically and by many diabetes charities, thus is a good start to a blood sugar supplement. Glucofort contains more than enough here, so that's off to a good start. 

Vitamin C - Vitamin C has also been shown to be beneficial for diabetes, however, the studies show it needs to be at 500mg not 50 as is in Glucofort, so whilst the ingredient is good, the dose is too low to be effective. 

Zinc - Again Zinc has been shown to be preventative, and long term supplementation seems to reduce the risk factors of diabetes helping the Glucofort supplement potentially stop pre diabetes becoming diabetes and improving the overall condition for those already there. It's not quite 100% of the RDI, but should be plenty to make sure you're intaking enough.

Manganese - Manganese has been shown to be beneficial for preventing hyperglycaemia and fluctuating blood sugar levels, again another solid inclusion for Glucofort. 

Magnesium - Low magnesium levels have been shown to increase the risk of developing diabetes and supplementing for it in people with deficiency has shown improved glucose metabolism, as such again it's a good addition to the supplement, however, Glucofort does only contain 25% of the RDI, so whilst this is a nice plus, it's not going to make a massive difference. All in all this makes for an OK vitamin blend, if we'd have liked to have seen a little more vitamin C and magnesium.

Glucofort Blood Sugar Supplement Proprietary Blend

Vanadium - Vanadium seems to be a great ingredient to increase glucose metabolism and to be honest it's really the star of the Glucofort show, [1] but the exact reasons as to how aren't fully understood, with most of the work to understand what's happening still coming from rat studies. With it seeming to raise the ability for glucose to pass through cell walls [2] but also inhibits tyrosine phosphatase [3] which stops an enzyme which breaks down glucose from working properly. Then there's the fact that it stimulates glucogenesis, the break down of sugars directly [4], and several other theories on why vanadium works the way it does. It definitely looks like a good ingredient for a blood sugar supplement like Glucofort, but the science here is quite complex and not fully understood. 

Banaba Leaf - has also been shown to lower high blood sugar levels in human trials with an average of a 13.5% decrease across subjects. [5] Again the exact mechanism isn't currently understood, no adverse effects in lowering blood sugar levels were reported. Other studies showed 16.6% improvement. We can't be sure of the volumes in Glucofort, but a relatively low 100mg was used for testing. Which there is definitely room for in Glucofort. 

Guggul - There's mixed results for this one when it comes to lowering glucose levels, some initial studies were interesting, but recent studies have shown it could be ineffective. [6]

Bitter Melon - Bitter melon could work, but the dosage isn't likely to be high enough for it to be particularly effective, the studies that showed it as comparable to other insulin resistance interventions in a clinical setting had it dosed at 2000mg. [7]

Licorice Root - licorice root does contain some substances with an insulin resistance beating effect. The dosage is relatively low, so seems like a good inclusion for a combined supplement designed to help lower glucose levels. 

Cinnamon Bark - Several studies have shown cinnamon bark can be effective in improved glucose metabolism and cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes [8] another solid inclusion and several diabetes charities recommend supplementing.

Yarrow Flowers - These have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and have several other general health benefits. Another decent choice for Glucofort. [9]

Juniper Berry - This is where the ingredients quality tails off a little bit, with Juniper Berry's mostly being backed by rat studies rather than human trials for an insulin production supplement. 

White mulberry - This last ingredient is also a particularly good inclusion, with it having been show to be notably effective as a dietary supplement for reducing blood glucose levels. [10] There have been multiple double blind placebo controlled studies which support it's use in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels conducted in reputable universities. Mulberry tea has also been shown to suppress blood sugar spikes after eating [11] showing that it can theoretically work to reduce blood glucose of your next meal straight away from supplementing. 

Although this trial was a relatively small sample size of around 100 individuals. All in all the ingredients list here is really good for a supplement aimed at reducing blood glucose levels with only a couple of relatively minor missteps.
