Prickly Pear Cactus - from the deserts of Mexico and southwestern United States - has been used for centuries by native Americans and Hispanic cultures for its ability to restore healthy liver function, and lower blood sugar. Modern research has determined this cactus not only lowers blood sugar, but also lowers total cholesterol levels, and improves HDL/LDL ratios.

Konjac Mannan from China has been prized for its high fiber content. Without the benefit of modern research, traditional Chinese physicians used Konjac to lower blood sugar, cleanse the intestines, and purify the blood. Physicians now know that this was all possible because of the high fiber content of this root.

The traditional physicians of India refer to Gymnema as the "Sugar Destroyer." This herb has the unique ability to rejuvenate the pancreas cells that produce insulin, and deters "burn-out" of the cells, which lead to diabetes. Gymnema also limits the reaction of insulin, and inhibits the body's ability to store fat. Suppression of sugar craving is a bonus for dieters as well as diabetics.
