Life Extension Tri Sugar Shield™

Supports healthy blood sugar levels.

For you, if you are interested in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

Benefits

• Promotes healthy glucose metabolism
• Supports a balanced sugar production in the liver
• Helps maintain already-healthy blood sugar levels
• Helps inhibit sugar-digesting elimination
• Contains sorghum bran extract, to help balance sugar production in the liver and support insulin sensitivity
• Also contains phloridzin, a polyphenol compound from apple root bark which can inhibit glucose absorption, and mulberry leaf extract, which promotes insulin sensitivity

Key ingredients

• Sorghum Bran Extract - a grass plant found in Southern Asia that helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, by regulating four different mechanisms:

  • Balancing the rate of sugar manufacture in the liver (gluconeogenesis);
  • Promoting insulin sensitivity;
  • Regulating PPAR-gamma, a metabolic thermostat that controls glucose metabolism;
  • Regulating the enzyme alpha-amylase, which in turn controls the release of sugar found in starch.

• Mulberry leaf extract - used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries. It targets three different mechanisms:

  • Targeting the alpha-glucosidase enzyme to regulate conversion of starch into glucose;
  • Supporting glucose transporter GLUT4 that moves glucose out of the bloodstream and into muscle and liver cells;
  • Promoting insulin sensitivity.

• Phloridzin - a natural polyphenol found in various fruit trees. It helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, by:

  • Targeting carrier protein SGLT1, in turn helping to block the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream;
  • Targeting carrier protein SGLT2, which supports glucose elimination via urine.

Dosage and use

Suggested daily intake is one (1) capsule twice, immediately before the heaviest carbohydrate or sugar containing meals/ drinks, or as directed by a medical practitioner.
