Watch this short video below to see how cinnamon can help with blood sugar!

Green Tea leaves enhance insulin sensitivity by improving the absorption of glucose into skeletal muscle. [1]

Green Tea lowers blood glucose levels and alleviates insulin resistance by increasing the expression of glucose transporter IV and improving muscular β-oxidation [2, 3].

Green Tea: The consumption of green tea has been shown to increase the production and release of CCK (Cholecystokinin), which reduces appetite. CCK is a hormone that is released by the intestines after a meal is consumed. This hormone then tells the body that an adequate amount of food has been consumed thus producing satiety, or fullness. 

Cinnamon: Has been popularized for its ability to reduce blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity (5). 

Cinnamon: increases insulin sensitivity by helping receptors for glucose on muscle cells become more available and efficient at transporting sugar into the cells (6, 7). 

Cinnamon: contains compounds that can mimic insulin and act directly on cells (8, 9).

Cinnamon: Acts as an appetite suppressant, helping you to fast longer [10].

Ginger: Studies have found that its active component gingerol makes sugar receptors on muscle cells more available, increasing sugar uptake (4).
