Question: can this product help in bringing down high sugar level?


• 0 0 A: Olive tree (Olea europaea L.) leaves have been widely used in traditional remedies in European and Mediterranean countries as extracts, herbal teas, and powder. They contain several potentially bioactive compounds that may have hypoglycemic properties.  In the randomized clinical trial where 500 mg of Olive Leaf Extract was taken, the subjects treated with olive leaf extract exhibited significantly lower HbA1c and fasting plasma insulin levels; however, postprandial plasma insulin levels did not differ significantly by treatment group. Though this research does support Olive Leaf Extract as beneficial for diabetic people, more research should be done with larger control groups. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22512698 Another supplement you may be interested in that may help with blood sugar levels is Nature's Way Blood Sugar. http://www.seacoast.com/blood-sugar/nature-s-way/90-caps/p702 If you need any additional product choice selection assistance, please give us a call at 800-555-6792 or 1+) 702-508-9054.
