Instead of our usual alcohol or glycerin tinctures, we’ve chosen to extract these powerful botanicals into a base of organic apple cider vinegar. On its own, consuming cider vinegar before meals is a potent tool for helping maintain blood sugar levels in the normal, healthy range. We’ve taken things a step further by extracting key metabolic herbs into an “herbal vinegar,” resulting in a finished product that has complementary benefits not experienced with either herbs or vinegar alone.* 

Vinegar’s mechanism of action is two-fold: 1. The acetic acid in vinegar helps temporarily blunt the effect of the enzyme that turns complex food → to simple glucose when carbohydrate-rich foods come into contact with our saliva. Thus, sugars and starches are converted to glucose at a slower rate.* 2. That same acetic acid found in vinegar also has an effect on our muscle tissue, helping our muscles uptake and utilize that food-turned-to-glucose as fuel.*

This formula is for those who are looking for a strategy to help combat the ‘glucose rollercoaster,’ where the vicious cycle of occasional cravings, energy dips after meals, and hormonal disharmony can get in the way of you looking and feeling your best.* 

Some early research shows that as many as 90% of completely healthy individuals experience a subpar metabolic response after consuming foods as common as bagels and breakfast cereal. For those with hormone complaints, this is something to be mindful of. The goal of this pre-meal blend is to help support your metabolism so that all the changes you’re working so hard to make are that much more effective. When taken before meals, you can rest easy knowing you have a tool on your side to help optimize your response to the food on your plate. 

GlucoBitters is especially helpful for those who have tried it all and make the effort to eat healthy each day but have seen waning results over the years due to changing hormones and metabolism common with aging. GlucoBitters helps your body respond to your favorite nutritious foods in a healthier way, helping combat the potential ‘crash’ and impact of less-than-perfect, occasional indulgences, too. While we all aim to eat balanced, protein and fiber-packed meals, the reality is that sometimes you’re on the go and need to fuel up with what’s in front of you (or you’re out to dinner for a girl’s night simply enjoying yourself – as you should!)* 

By assisting your body in maintaining healthy insulin levels in the normal, healthy range and metabolizing carbohydrate-rich foods in a healthy way, GlucoBitters helps support your adaptability in response to meals, snacks, and desserts so that you can live life to the fullest *and* meet your goals. It helps to ease occasional indulgences so that you can enjoy whatever’s on your plate with peace of mind.*
