CHUCK blood sugar woes out the window with this ‘wood trick’

If you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes… you know that managing your disease is FAR from a barrel of laughs.

But there’s something that could help make it LESS of an uphill climb…

And even help give sugar spikes THE AXE!

It’s NOT a drug…

But it WORKS like one of the most popular diabetes meds out there… WITHOUT any scary risks.

Here’s the “tree secret” that could help you get OUT OF THE WOODS when it comes to glucose control.

The nutrient quercetin is a flavonoid with powerful antioxidant action – one that was first identified over 150 years ago in oak trees (Quercus).

It got its name from the Latin word “quercetum,” which means “oak grove.”

I’ve previously shared with you how this “wood trick” is a natural immune booster with antiviral properties…

Helps PROMOTE longevity…

And could help BOOST brainpower.

Well, this 19th-century forest secret has got EVEN MORE up its sleeve…

Because as it turns out, it could also help BEAT BACK blood sugar woes!

Quercetin helps BANISH inflammation… which could be a culprit behind both memory issues and type 2 diabetes.

But that’s not all…

Because this “grove secret” has also been shown to help… LOWER blood sugar, both after eating and when fasting

IMPROVE insulin sensitivity, and

PROMOTE healthy pancreatic function by supporting islets and beta cells.

 

In fact, studies have shown quercetin’s effect on blood sugar and insulin to be COMPARABLE to that of metformin – a.k.a. Big Pharma’s cash cow drug for diabetes!

In fact, BOTH quercetin and metformin ZERO IN on the same target – the enzyme AMPK, known as the “metabolic master switch.”

Thing is, metformin DOESN’T alleviate oxidative stress or NEUTRALIZE free radicals the way that quercetin does.

Which, to me, gives this “tree vitamin” an EXTRA EDGE!

That’s why quercetin has shown to be helpful in beating back diabetic complications… like diabetic nephropathy… diabetic retinopathy… and more.

Plus, quercetin doesn’t come with the same risks of side effects as metformin does… like gastrointestinal complaints and lactic acidosis.

Now, quercetin occurs naturally in some foods, including apple peel…

But there’s a catch.

There’s some evidence that quercetin works better if taken on an empty stomach… like before bed… or while fasting.

That means you might do better to take a supplement instead of relying on getting quercetin from your diet.

Look for a quercetin product from a quality maker that attaches it to a phospholipid complex… or combines it with other nutrients like bromelain (from pineapple) or piperine (from black pepper) to improve its less-than-ideal bioavailability.

A recommended dosage is in the range of 250 to 500 mg daily… but check with your doc to see what a good starting point might be for you.

Research also supports combining quercetin with another antioxidant and AMPK activator, resveratrol.
