Blood sugar support blend

Also known as: glycaemic herbal complex, sugar balance blend

Herbal blood sugar blends typically combine berberine, cinnamon, gymnema, bitter melon, fenugreek, white mulberry or alpha-lipoic acid, often with chromium and zinc. Their effect and quality depend on the composition and doses on the label; the blends themselves are poorly studied.

What it is used for

  • maintenance of normal blood glucose (chromium) – EFSA-approved claim for chromium, not for the blend
  • lowering blood sugar (berberine) – moderate evidence for berberine at an adequate dose
  • other herbal ingredients – weak evidence

Forms and how they differ

blends with berberine

check the mg of berberine – it determines both effect and interactions

blends with chromium and zinc

compare mineral doses with your other supplements

'proprietary' blends without doses

impossible to judge how much of each they contain

When to take it

With food, usually with main meals.

Pairs well with

A low glycaemic load diet, enough fibre and protein, a walk after meals, sleep.

Do not combine / separate

Do not combine with diabetes medicines (including insulin and metformin) without asking your doctor – risk of hypoglycaemia; berberine can affect the breakdown of many medicines.

Watch out for

Do not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or take any medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Do not exceed the label dose; digestive upset is common.

Practical tip

A supplement is no substitute for medical checks – if your sugar is above optimal, have your HbA1c measured.
