Herbs and Supplements: Keys to Blood Sugar Control
Fenugreek and bayberry leaf are effective herbs in managing diabetes and blood sugar levels. Berberine, derived from bayberry leaf, specifically reduces A1C levels by 0.9% over 12 weeks, demonstrating significant benefits with extended use. A recommended dosage is 500 milligrams taken three times daily with meals. Combining berberine with chromium picolinate maximizes their blood sugar-regulating effects. Additional beneficial supplements include alpha-lipoic acid and the herb Gymnema sylvestre, which also lowers A1C levels and may be found in blends.
