Diabetes

Key Botanical Components and Mechanisms

Nymphaea caerulea (blue lotus)

Supports nervous system regulation and reduces anxiety-induced glucose variability via aporphine alkaloids like nuciferine.

Silybum marianum (milk thistle whole seed)

Rich in silymarin flavonolignans, Silybum marianum protects the liver, enhances detoxification, and modulates inflammatory pathways linked to insulin resistance.

Ulmus rubra (slippery elm bark)

A mucilaginous demulcent that protects and soothes the gastrointestinal lining, supporting gut health, microbiota, and glucose absorption regulation.

Arctium lappa (burdock root)

Arctium lappa supports blood purification and detoxification, with inulin content that may help regulate blood sugar and support beneficial gut flora.

Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn fruit powder)

A potent source of carotenoids, vitamin C, and omega fatty acids. It exhibits anti-inflammatory and lipid-modulating effects, aiding vascular health.

Astragalus membranaceus (astragalus root)

An adaptogen that modulates immune function and supports pancreatic β-cell protection. Demonstrates anti-diabetic and nephroprotective effects.

Urtica dioica (nettle leaf)

Nettle leaf enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces postprandial glucose spikes, in part due to its mineral content and flavonoid profile.

Inonotus obliquus (chaga mushroom)

Chaga provides betulinic acid and polysaccharides that exhibit hypoglycemic and antioxidant activity, reducing oxidative stress in diabetic states.

Porphyra spp. (nori)

A seaweed rich in iodine, trace minerals, and polysaccharides. Porphyra supports thyroid function and metabolism, which may be dysregulated in diabetes.

Vitex agnus-castus (chasteberry extract powder)

Modulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, helping to stabilize hormone fluctuations that impact blood sugar regulation, particularly in women.

Syzygium aromaticum (ground cloves)

Clove contains eugenol and flavonoids that improve insulin function, increase glucose uptake, and reduce advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Solvent System

Non-GMO French Vodka: This 40% ethanol solvent base ensures high extraction efficacy and microbiological preservation. It effectively carries both hydrophilic and lipophilic botanical constituents.

Summary

The Diabetes tincture is designed to assist individuals managing glucose dysregulation, insulin resistance, or post-inflammatory metabolic imbalances. By targeting oxidative stress, supporting liver and pancreas function, and enhancing cellular signaling, this formulation acts as a multi-system support agent in holistic diabetes care.

What You Can Do To Support Your Body

Botanical Blood Sugar Balance

Goal: Support healthy glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Diet:

• Fruits: Berries, apples, pears (portion-aware)
