Levolar Forte
The statistics are alarming:
- Over 150 million people all over the world suffer from elevated blood sugar.
- Almost 16 million Americans (approximately 6 percent of the population) have high blood sugar.
- 600,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.
- About 5.4 million have the problem, but remain undiagnosed.
- Despite the fact that $105 billion per year is spent treating metabolic syndrome, nearly 200,000 people die from it needlessly each and every year.
Metabolic syndrome or Syndrome X is a cluster of diabetes-like symptoms that has reached epidemic proportions in our western society. It is characterized by fatigue, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries and other health challenges, causing our high hopes and good intentions for living the good life to be cut short. Heart disease and stroke are 2-4 times more prevalent in metabolic syndrome than in people with normal blood sugar metabolism. If effective action against metabolic syndrome is not taken, it will continue to worsen. Daily control of blood sugar levels is especially important to avoid many of the frightening effects of this age- and diet-related disease.
Levolar Forte is giving new hope to the millions of people who suffer from blood sugar metabolism disorders. Alarming headlines arrive on our doorstep daily about the side effects of prescription drugs. The big pharmaceutical companies are seen to push drugs onto the market with little regard for their long-term safety. Many people have responded to this corporate Profit Above Safety mentality by asking their own questions, researching their alternatives and taking charge of their own health. There are safer, cheaper and all natural alternatives available.
Levolar Forte is the most positive step you can take toward managing metabolic syndrome, so you can get back to enjoying a more robust and fulfilling life!

Levolar Forte Regulates Blood Sugar Five Ways
Blood Sugar is metabolized by the body in very complex ways. In an ideal state, the body uses the sugars derived from food only as required for metabolism, ensuring there is sufficient glucose in the blood at all times for our energy requirements, but that is it not present in excess. The excess sugar from our food is stored in fat for use later when we don't have sufficient foods available for our immediate energy requirements.
To understand how Levolar Forte works in maintaining normal blood sugar, it is important to look at the steps the body goes through in metabolizing blood sugar:
- Food is digested in the stomach and intestines. Starches and
Carbohydrates, which are long-chain sugar molecules, are broken down into
simpler sugars which can be absorbed into the blood stream. This is where
the majority of our dietary sugars come from. Also, lesser amounts are
released from the fats we eat, also broken down into simpler sugars and
absorbed into the blood stream.
- In response to this increase in blood sugar following a meal, the body
produces a couple of enzymes, primarily Insulin and Hepatic Glucokinase,
which act as triggers to allow the blood sugar to enter into the cells where
it can be used for energy. These enzymes, particularly Insulin, fit
receptors on the surface of the cells, and act to open a passage into the
cell to allow the entry of the sugar. Like a key opening a locked door into the cell, allowing the entry of the sugars for use in the cell.
- Any sugar in excess of what is needed at the time is converted by other enzymes into compounds which are stored in fat in the body. Later, when there are no dietary sources of sugar for the body to utilize, these fat stores release the sugars back into the blood stream for use as needed.
Unfortunately, in Metabolic Syndrome, there are several points where this normal blood sugar mechanism goes wrong. In Type Two Diabetes and in Metabolic Syndrome (also known as Syndrome X), usually several of the mechanism fail. This is where Levolar Forte comes in. There are at least five different mechanisms by which Levolar Forte works in helping the body to maintain normal healthy blood sugar levels:
- The first way Levolar Forte helps is by altering the way
the body digests the foods we eat. As pointed out earlier, most of our blood
sugar comes from the starches and carbohydrates we eat. These are digested
in the intestines by enzymes called alphaglucosidases. (alpha-glucoside is
the technical term for starches. Alpha-glucoside-ases are the enzymes which
digest these starches) Levolar Forte contains an extract from
the root bark of a rare tree from India named Salacia oblonga.
Salacia contains natural alphaglucosidase inhibitor which limit the
digestion of starches in the gut. When the starches are not digested, then
the sugars never enter the blood stream in the first place, but rather get
passed through unchanged. This mechanism is the same as what is found in
several oral anti-diabetic drugs such as acarbose (Precose tm). Research has indicated that the natural
salacia is approximately 200 times more effective than acarbose.
There is another compound in Levolar Forte from the medicinal mushroom Grifola frondosa (Maitake) which is also an alphaglucosidase inhibitors. This one helps limit the amount of sugars released from the carbohydrates we eat. Together, these two alphaglucosidase inhibitors significantly reduce the amount of sugar that ever enters the blood stream in the first place. When there is less sugar absorbed from our food, there is less for the body to try and keep under control.
Mechanism of action # 1: These two alphaglucosidase inhibitors effect blood sugar metabolism by limiting the absorption of dietarily derived glucose in the two hours after eating.
- The second mechanism comes from the well known medicinal mushroom Cordyceps sinensis. This mushroom contains compounds which effect blood
sugar metabolism in two different ways:
a) Increases production of the enzyme Hepatic Glucokinase, which is a secondary mechanism by which the body metabolizes blood sugar.
b) Increases the sensitivity of the insulin receptors on the surface of the cells, so that any insulin present is more effectively utilized.
Mechanism of Action #2: Cordyceps positivly effects blood sugar metabolism throughout the day by increasing insulin sensitivity.
- The third mechanism is from a special extract of Cinnamon,
containing a group of bioactive compounds called MHCP (Methyl-Hydroxy-Chalcone-Polymer).
We derive this from two types of cinnamon, both Cinnamomum zylanicum (true Cinnamon from Madagascar) and Cinnamomum cassia (called Bastard
Cinnamon from India). Levolar Forte is the only product on the
market containing both these cinnamons.
Mechanism of Action #3: Cinnamon effects blood sugar metabolism by limiting the release of stored sugar from fat. Cinnamon's MHCP compounds inhibit the enzymes which trigger the release of glucose between meals and while sleeping.
- The forth way in which Levolar Forte effects blood sugar
metabolism is from the medicinal mushroom Coprinus Comatus. This mushroom
has been shown to reduce excess blood sugar through mechanism which are only
partly understood, probably through increased excretion through the kidneys.
Mechanism of Action #4: Coprinus effects blood sugar metabolism by speeding the excretion of excess sugar not required for energy metabolism.
- The fifth way that Levolar Forte effects blood sugar is
through the catalytic action of Chromium and Biotin. Both these are
necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and are even more important in
people with type two diabetes. The type of chromium used in Levolar
Forte is Chromium Polynicotinate, which is the most absorbable
type. Each tablet of Levolar Forte contains 200 umg of
elemental chromium, for a total of 800 umg per day. This is the optimum dose
for blood sugar control.
Biotin is also involved in the breakdown of excess blood sugar. While we normally get biotin from our diets, but the amount normally consumed in our diets is insufficient to effect blood sugar levels in type two diabetics. Levolar Forte contains 8 mg of Biotin per tablet, which is many times the amount found in out normal diet.
Mechanism of Action #5: Chromium and Biotin effect blood sugar metabolism catalytically.
