Insulin is a hormone that is made in the pancreas. Insulin's job is to keep blood sugar levels from rising too high. When you eat carbohydrates your body releases insulin to regulate your blood sugar levels. The glucose is transported to muscle tissue and fat cells, lowering blood sugar levels. Insulin has also been shown to stop protein breakdown and increase protein synthesis. So insulin replenishes glycogen storage, increases amino acid uptake and muscle protein synthesis. Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body.

However insulin also has a downside. Insulin also plays a role in storing fat. When insulin is released, it causes the liver and the muscles to store glucose as glycogen. This is fine when your liver needs its glycogen level replenished, such as after a workout. If the stores are already full of glycogen, however, any extra glucose will be transported to fat cells.

Insulin's anabolic properties make it rather important when thinking about packing on muscle. However, too much insulin could increase those un-wanted fat stores around your waist.

If we can take under control this highly anabolic hormone, we can stabilize blood sugar levels, decrease body fat and increase lean body mass.

Insulin Mimicker supplements are usually the mix of the best herbal ingredients that may enhance blood sugar control and insulin levels.

First on the list is alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). ALA occurs naturally in cells, is involved with carbohydrate metabolism, and important for the production of our body's energy source, ATP. ALA has been shown to aid in glucose uptake in the muscle cell. In addition, ALA is a very potent antioxidant, able to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and glutathione, aiding in the prevention of oxidative damage.

Bitter melon is the most popular ingredient to lower serum insulin and normalize blood glucose levels. Bitter Melon contains an insulin-like polypeptide called polypeptide P, or plant-insulin. Plant-insulin has been shown to have similar effects to bovine insulin, which, as we know, lowers blood glucose. Some recent studies demonstrate that Bitter Melon can reduce body fat without affecting energy intake or fat absorption. It can increase glucose tolerance and can make an individual more insulin sensitive, it may allow for an increase cellular uptake of nutrients.

Fenugreek is commonly ingredient and evidence has shown it may exert a hypoglycemic effect. Its mechanism appears to be due to a compound known as 4-hydroxyisoleucine, which is a constituent that makes up about 80% of the total content of free amino acids extracted from the fenugreek seeds. 4-Oh-Ile is an amino acid present only in plants and recent research discovered that 4-OH-Ile help regulate the meal-induced rise blood glucose.

Chromium is the second most popular mineral sold, second only to calcium! Nevertheless, there may be some benefit from chromium supplementation if you have impaired glucose tolerance. Chromium is an essential nutrient involved in normal carbohydrate metabolism, essential to the body's production of insulin. Chromium levels may decrease with age and from exercise. Chromium requirements are increased with glucose intolerance and diabetes. The chromium causes better blood circulation and healthy blood sugar level. It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to replace fat.
