Glucose Essentials (30-day supply)
Serious blood sugar support with Gymnema, vanadyl sulfate, banaba, chromium and more
My comprehensive answer for natural blood sugar maintenance, and more.
Get ready to impress your doctor with even better glucose numbers!
Glucose Essentials is now even better! A brand new Swiss discovery called Portusana™ Purslane Extract takes my acclaimed formula to a whole new level. It not only promotes normal blood sugar levels and better insulin sensitivity—but helps lower the critical hemoglobin A1C blood sugar marker! But this is more than numbers on a blood test—these are benefits you’re going to feel! By helping to even out the blood sugar spikes and drops, Portusana helps to give you a slow, steady supply of energy.
Glucose Essentials gives you:
- Portusana™ to support normal blood sugar—and help lower hemoglobin A1C! I just added a brand new Swiss discovery called Portusana Purslane Extract to Glucose Essentials. It not only supports normal blood sugar levels, but is clinically shown to help lower the critical A1C blood sugar marker. Plus, it helps to even out blood sugar spikes and drops, giving you a slow steady supply of energy!
- Vanadyl sulfate mimics insulin—helping to keep blood sugar steady. Vanadyl sulfate has been one of my top-recommended nutrients for blood sugar support for more than 30 years. The reason is it has an insulin-like effect in your body, helping to transport glucose into your cells—benefiting both your blood sugar and A1C levels.
- Silbinol™ to move sugar out of your bloodstream and into your cells. Silbinol™, a specialized extract of P. marsupium from the Indian Kino tree, helps to move glucose out of your bloodstream and into your cells more rapidly. In an open-label trial participants experienced an average fasting blood sugar drop of more than 32 points—and in another study an average drop of almost 56 points.
- Chromium helps to overcome insulin resistance—naturally. Chromium, an essential trace mineral, facilitates the action of insulin, glucose, protein, and fat metabolism. It enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin for sugar and fat metabolism, and it facilitates insulin’s uptake of glucose into the cells.
- Glucohelp™ helps to activate transporters on your cells—so they let glucose in. Glucohelp™, a specialized extract of banaba leaf, is standardized to 18% corosolic acid—the ingredient that helps to activate the glucose transporters on the surface of your cells, so they let glucose in. Research also suggests it improves your body’s ability to produce and utilize insulin.
- GS4 Gymnema helps slow the release of sugar into your bloodstream. Research shows 400 mg of GS4 Gymnema—the form and dose you get in Glucose Essentials—helps with blood sugar control by slowing the release of sugar from your digestive tract into your bloodstream.
All together, Glucose Essentials:
- Promotes normal blood glucose levels
- Supports normal hemoglobin A1C levels
- Improves glucose tolerance
- Enhances glucose transport in your body
- Increases insulin sensitivity
- Keeps blood sugar levels in the normal range
- Fights free-radical damage
From your blood sugar to your A1C levels, your doctor is going to want to know your secret!

Taking 3 capsules a day of "Glucose Essentials" does bring down my Glucose numbers overall. I feel much better physically, mentally all over. I will certainly stay with the program for now. I look forward to seeing my morning numbers now, with the success of "Glucose Essentials" .
I decided I wanted to give off the SolaStar insulin I was taking along with metformin and glimiperide to control my Type 2 diabetes, so I tried Glucose Essentials. I started off with the 3 capsules per day before each meal. It might have been better to start off with 1 capsule, however; it took 3 months for my digestive tract to settle down. I've been taking it for six months now. My A1C dropped from 7.3 to 6.9. My doctor was a bit wary about my stopping the insulin, but when he saw the A1C he said to keep it up. It controls my fasting blood sugar as well as the insulin did, and controls the after-meal peak better than insulin did. A side effect is that it makes me feel fuller much more quickly; I'm eating about half of what I used to and still feel full, and I've lost 20 pounds.
I wouldn't be caught without Glucose Essentials and my rising blood sugar is a normal level. I feel GREAT!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU DR. WHITAKER!!!!!! My Doctor told me he didn't know what I was doing but to keep it up. When I said do you want me to tell you what iam doing. He said I probablly wouldn't believe you anyway. I SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Glucose essentials for 7 months of which my NUMB feet came alive again, dizzuness was gone, LOST 67 pounds and got back into my HIGH SCHOOL clothes, my thighs shed most of the fat, my thighs were quivering for 2 weeks, felt great.....but my sugar was never lower than 300 and they are too expensive for my S.S.only budget ,,,,I had been put backon Metformin for 5 days & nights horrible stomach aches, gone..... insulin only durng he pulls I gained 10 pounds & now on insulun I have gained 42 pounds again. I really miss Glucose Essentials,but the price. i also now have eye damage cause of the high sugar for 6 months. I am ready to go back & somehow find the money.......I was never depressed on them,..like now.
This supplement is a lifesaver. It is incredibly effective. I don't go to a doctor, the main reason I know I have blood sugar issues is the fierce thirst that I get when it is out of whack. Glucose Essentials smooths it all out, brings my body back into balance, and the intense thirst goes away. It has also helped me to heal from a very pernicious case of Candida. What a blessing. I'm so very thankful Dr. Whitaker has devoted his life to researching and making profound and natural healing alternatives available to the public! He is a national treasure!
I have been taking Glucose Essentials as suggested for 3 weeks. My glucose level has not changed on my daily readings. My diet is controlled and I exercise regularly. I have felt no change in my energy levels. However, my daily ( 3 times ) glucose readings have remained unchanged. I am discouraged from using this any further.
Keeps me from taking prescription drugs. Keeps my sugar more level than my sisters who is taking prescription drugs. Thanks for this medicine.
Very good product, my sugar just kept going up and I ordered this product about one and half years ago. My sugar checks at about 105 to110 every morning if I eat right.
