Life Extension Tri Sugar Shield
Many aging individuals find themselves under assault from rising blood sugar levels. Despite a healthy diet and exercise, blood sugar levels can rise due to factors including gluconeogenesis in the liver and rapid conversion of starches into glucose.
An all-natural, multi-pronged approach supports the natural balance of key glucose pathways. Tri Sugar Shield provides three plant-derived nutrients that support healthy glucose metabolism in aging individuals within normal range.
Tri Sugar Shield contains the following three nutrients:
- Sorghum Bran Extract
- Mulberry leaf extract
- Phloridzin
Sorghum Bran Extract helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels by modulating several mechanisms:
- Balances the rate of sugar manufacture in the liver (gluconeogenesis).
- Promotes insulin sensitivity.
- Regulates PPAR-gamma, a metabolic thermostat controlling glucose metabolism.
- Regulates the enzyme alpha-amylase, which controls the release of sugar in starch.
Mulberry leaf extract targets three mechanisms:
- Targets alpha-glucosidase to regulate conversion of starch into glucose.
- Supports glucose transporter GLUT4 moves glucose into muscle and liver cells.
- Promotes insulin sensitivity.
Phloridzin helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels by targeting carrier proteins SGLT1 and SGLT2, affecting glucose absorption and elimination.
By targeting these diverse glucose pathways, Tri Sugar Shield delivers broad support to help stabilize already healthy glucose levels.
