NOW Foods Glucofit Review

Blood Sugar, such a simple word with many implantations. You may think of diabetes, hypoglycemia, South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, GI Diet, and other fitness related attachments. The question remains of why blood glucose is important. Well, blood sugar is a great indicator of why you may not be losing fat. When blood sugar is high many problems arise and weight gain or the inability to lose fat is very prominent of those concerns.  If you are having a significant problem with blood glucose levels you must see a doctor first because it could be a sign of something more severe like diabetes.

On another note, some people enjoy taking dietary supplements like this to help prevent high spikes in sugar which may lead to diabetes. This could be of some interest to you, however this is not a scientifically proven remedy to prevent these types of diseases.  Otherwise I would be jumping on the bandwagon myself. Overall the best way to control blood sugar is through eating balanced meals. You can do this by combining foods like carbohydrates with protein and fat. This way are sugar doesn’t spike and were left feeling fuller.

GlucoFit® (from Lagerstroemia speciosa) (Leaf) (Standardized to min. 18% Corosolic Acid) 1.334 mg- So what is this Lagerstroemia Speciosa? I had to ask myself the same question. Turns out it is Banaba leaf found in some Asian countries. It is believed that the extract can significantly lower blood sugar. Now Foods doesn’t support such a claim but other sources indicate that the extract does indeed lower sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes.  The sources state that  that ”humans with type II diabetes show this extract to be effective in reducing blood sugar levels and maintaining better control of blood sugar fluctuations.”  What a discovery, right. Well, due to its effects on blood sugar and insulin the studies concluded that Banaba leaf is used as a treatment for diabetes and hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar), Now Foods does not claim this though. That could be because they have differing compositions-meaning the participants were given higher dosages- to those in the study. Furthermore the study that I have cited found that two to four pounds was lost per month. This does not signify that Glucofit can do the same.

Final Thoughts

Due to this site being primarily dedicated to finding the best thermogenics it is important for me to inform you that this doesn’t play a role in thermogensis. Thermogenics is when your body is increase the rate at which you burn fat by heating the cells. Since it is not a scientific term there is no standard to what officially works or not. This is all product to peoples opinions and sometimes we only see the wrong ones. Over the years it is generally accepted that extracts like caffeine, green tea, or bitter orange extract are the best fat burners for the majority.
