Supporting Blood Glucose Health with GlucoQuench™
By Dr Joseph J Collins, ND, RN
This article is part of the Blood Sugar Health Educational Module
Preventing high blood sugar levels is one of the goals in restoring blood sugar health. This will be evidenced by decreased fasting blood sugar and decreased post-prandial (after eating) blood sugar levels, as well as decreased HgbA1c levels. Therapies that can help lower blood sugar include therapies that decrease glucose absorption from the intestines, therapies that decrease production of new glucose (gluconeogenesis) by the liver, and therapies that increase the conversion of glucose to glycogen by increase glycogen synthesis. High fiber diets that are low in simple sugars can decrease glucose absorption from the intestines. Exercise can increase glycogen synthesis and decrease production of new glucose.
All of the herbs in GlucoQuench™ support blood glucose health by affecting one or more clinical outcomes and by various mechanisms of action, 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.

Clinical Outcomes
Clinical outcomes of supporting blood sugar health include a decrease of elevated HgbA1c, a decrease of elevated fasting blood glucose levels and a decrease of elevated postprandial glucose levels.
The therapeutic agents in GlucoQuench™ documented to Decrease Hgba1c include Gymnema sylvestre, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata), Cinnamomum cassia, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Panax ginseng & Withania somnifera.
Four herbs in GlucoQuench™ that are documented to Decrease Fasting Blood Glucose Levels include Gymnema sylvestre, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata), Cinnamomum cassia & Panax ginseng.
Five herbs in GlucoQuench™ are documented to Decrease Elevated Postprandial Glucose, which are Gymnema sylvestre, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata), Eleutherococcus senticosus, Panax ginseng & Withania somnifera.

Mechanisms of Action
Some of the mechanisms of action involved in supporting blood sugar health include inhibition of glucose absorption by the digestive tract, decreased gluconeogenesis (blood sugar production) by the liver, and increased glycogen synthesis (storage of glucose as glycogen) by the liver and by muscle cells.
At the time of this writing there are three herbs in GlucoQuench™ which are documented to Inhibit Glucose Absorption. They are Gymnema sylvestre, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata) & Eleutherococcus senticosus.
Four herbs in GlucoQuench™ are documented to Decrease Gluconeogenesis, which are Rehmannia glutinosa, Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata), Eleutherococcus senticosus & Lagerstroemia speciosa.
All nine of the herbs in GlucoQuench™have been shown to Support Normal Glycogen Function.
