1
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is found in various nutritional supplements – from blood sugar support formulas to hormone balance supplements. However, Charles and David used a special type of “single-origin fenugreek” in Gluco Trim that’s more effective than conventional fenugreek supplements available online. Fenugreek contains a unique compound called N55 that “can increase GLP-1 levels by 40 times their normal levels.” Typically, fenugreek supplements are heavily processed to remove N55. However, Gluco Trim uses a particular type of fenugreek that continues to have high levels of N55.

Ecklonia Cava
Ecklonia cava is a marine superfood rich in fucoxanthin, a natural antioxidant. Fucoxanthin, according to the creators, “tells the gut to produce more GLP-1,” helping to lower your blood sugar and burn fat. In one study cited by the duo, ecklonia cava led to 12 lbs of weight loss, on average, in a group of overweight women. In that same study, women had healthier levels, less body inflammation, and lower levels of triglycerides.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid
The first two ingredients are enough to impact GLP-1 on their own, according to the makers of Gluco Trim. However, Charles and David added conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other proven ingredients to help further. CLA comes from cold-pressed safflower oil and is “exceptionally good at increasing GLP-1 and preventing type II diabetes,” according to the official Gluco Trim website. It’s a particular type of fat that’s easier for your body to absorb, and many diabetics take CLA daily for blood sugar balance and overall wellness.

Berberine
Berberine is a plant extract well-known in the diabetes community. It’s a popular blood sugar support supplement. The makers of Gluco Trim cite one study where 115 people with type II diabetes took berberine daily and lowered their blood sugar by 20% and their HbA1C levels by 12% within weeks. It’s also popular for weight loss, with one study finding people taking berberine lowered body fat by 3.6%, on average.

Mulberry Leaf Extract
Gluco Trim contains a form of “ultra-purity” mulberry leaf extract linked to better blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Mulberry leaf extract has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Today, it’s known for its ability to support healthy blood sugar. David and Charles cite one study where a group of people taking mulberry leaf drastically lowered blood sugar after a month and experienced 23% lower cholesterol.
6
Turmeric
Just like Gluco Trim contains “single origin” fenugreek, it also contains “single origin” turmeric. The turmeric in the formula can “increase GLP-1, quickly low blood sugar levels, and help the body burn much more fat,” according to the manufacturer. Turmeric is prized for its natural antioxidant effects, and many people take it daily for health and wellness.
7
Chromium Picolinate
Chromium is one of the most critical mineral supplements for people with diabetes, and many people take chromium daily for blood sugar balance. According to the makers of Gluco Trim, “many” adults are deficient in chromium. By adding chromium to your diet, you could help lower blood sugar and hbA1c, according to Charles and David.
8
Glucomannan
Glucomannan is a type of natural fiber derived from konjac root. Fiber is crucial for diabetics because it slows the absorption of sugar. Fiber also helps you feel fuller for longer, making it easy to naturally consume fewer calories without feeling hungry.
8
Reishi Mushroom Powder
Gluco Trim contains reishi mushroom powder, which is popular in traditional Chinese medicine for immunity, energy, and overall health and wellness. Charles and David cite one study where patients taking reishi mushroom extract lowered their fasting blood sugar “by nearly 40%” compared to a placebo.
