Another important goal in restoring blood sugar health is to support the production and function of insulin. This may be accomplished by using therapies that improved insulin secretion by the pancreas, as well as therapies that increase insulin utilization by acting as insulin receptor agonists or as insulin mimetics. Exercise and a high fiber diets that is low in simple sugars is the first step in supporting production and function of insulin. Some pharmacological agents are intended to increase insulin utilization by acting as insulin receptor agonists or as insulin mimetics.
All the herbs used in GlucoQuench™ support insulin production and/or function by one or more mechanisms, based on published medical and scientific literature.
GlucoQuench™ is a poly-herb formulation developed to support blood glucose health. Its therapeutic agents include extracts and standardized extracts from nine herbs: Gymnema sylvestre, Rehmannia glutinosa, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata), Eleutherococcus senticosus, Cinnamomum cassia, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Panax ginseng, Withania somnifera, & Rhodiola rosea.

Mechanisms of Action
The mechanisms of action for the herbs in GlucoQuench™ involved in Supporting Insulin Function have been identified based on published medical and scientific literature that demonstrate that a specific herb improves insulin function by one or more of the following mechanisms: Improved Insulin Secretion, Insulin Receptor Agonists, Insulin Mimetic, Increase Insulin Utilization, Beta Cell Protection, Beta Cell Regeneration & Anti-Diabetic action.
