Glucofast Ingredients: Review of Scientific Evidence

We have found scientific studies confirming the effectiveness of Glucofast herbal components.

  • 1. Bitter Melon (Momordica Charantia)
    Three active constituents in bitter melon (also called Bitter Gourd) known as steroidal saponins (charntin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids) are believed to be responsible for the blood-sugar lowering actions. Recently researchers from Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica found that bioactive components from bitter melon appear to activate the enzyme AMPK, a protein well known for regulating fuel metabolism and enabling glucose uptake.

Abstract Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) improves insulin sensitivity by increasing skeletal muscle insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in high-fat-fed rats. Br J Nutr. 2008 Apr;99(4):806-12. Epub 2007 Oct 17. PubMed

  • 2. Guggul (Commiphora wightii)
    Guggul is a resin which is produced by the stem of the commiphora mukul tree. Guggul contains ketonic steroid compounds known as guggulsterones which are believed to be responsible for guggul's cholestrol- and triglyceride-lowering actions. However, a large study failed to show the positive results for cholesterol lowering effect.
    In animal studies, guggul has shown to increase the production of the thyroid hormone. Since this hormone is involved in the cells' breakdown of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, theoretically this herb should promote weight loss.

  • 3. Gymnema Sylvestre
    Gymnema has a long history of medicinal use in India for diabetes. Human and animal studies confirm that gymnema has pronounced effects on blood sugar, at least among diabetics. Within the past two decades researchers have determined that gymnema extracts may even play a role in the treatment of Type I diabetics, who typically need daily injections of insulin to control the disease.

  • 4. Licorice
    Licorice root has been used in both Eastern and Western medicine to treat a variety of illnesses. A recent human study found that a preparation of licorice may reduce body fat. Fifteen normal-weight subjects consumed licorice for 2 months (3.5 g a day). Body fat mass was measured before and after treatment. Licorice was able to reduce body fat mass and to suppress the hormone aldosterone. Another study found that a topical preparation of glycyrrhetinic acid (a component of licorice) was able to reduce the thickness of fat on the thigh in human subjects.

  • 6. Alpha Lipoic Acid
    Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It's needed by the body to produce the energy for our body's normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Korean scientists have discovered that alpha-lipoic acid can cause substantial weight loss in obese mice, according to a study published in the July 2004 issue of Nature Medicine.

  • 7. Vitamin C
    Scientists from Arizona State University have discovered that the quantity of vitamin C in the blood stream bears a direct correspondence to the body’s capacity to burn fat as a source of energy. The amount of vitamin C present within the body affects the process of fat oxidation during periods of exercise as well as rest. It's not that vitamin C is the new weight loss pill, but the discovery that inadequate amounts of the Vitamin C can hinder weight loss efforts.

  • 8. Vitamin E
    Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects body tissue from damage caused by unstable substances called free radicals. Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells and helps the body to use vitamin K.

  • 9. Biotin
    Biotin is a B vitamin that's needed for the formation of fatty acids and glucose, which are essential for the production of energy. It also helps with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
  • 10. Magnesium
    Magnesium in the body serves several important metabolic functions. It plays a role in the production and transport of energy. It is also important for the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Magnesium is involved in the synthesis of protein, and it assists in the functioning of certain enzymes in the body.

  • 11. Zinc
    Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It is used to control the enzymes that operate and renew the cells in our bodies. The formation of DNA, the basis of all life on our planet, would not be possible without zinc.

  • 12. Manganese
    Manganese activates the enzymes responsible for the utilization of several key nutrients including biotin, thiamin, ascorbic acid, and choline. It aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, sex hormones and plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation.
  • 13. Chromium
    Chromium is important in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Chromium stimulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, which are important for brain function and other body processes. It is an activator of several enzymes, which are needed to drive numerous chemical reactions necessary to live. Chromium is also important in insulin metabolism.
