Primalog Revealed

Gymnema Sylvestre (1g)

Native to India and Sri Lanka, gymnema has been extensively researched for its ability to improve insulin function.*

With better insulin function comes more stable blood sugar levels as well as the ability to more efficiently store and process carbohydrates, benefitting performance and body composition.*

A comprehensive review of the sugar-shuttling plant noted it also reduced plasma glucose, leptin levels, body weight and even BMI (body mass index).*

Agmatine Sulfate (750mg)

Typically known for its sleeve-bursting pumps, agmatine also serves as a valuable nutrient partitioning agent too.*

Agmatine has been shown to activate imidazoline receptors, which helps reduce blood glucose levels and is associated with an increase in beta-endorphins.*

Beta-endorphins can boost glucose uptake into muscle tissue and support the pancreas with insulin secretion.*

Taken together, agmatine promotes better glucose transport and insulin function, supporting a leaner, more muscular physique.*

Bitter Melon 4:1 Extract (500mg)

Found across the globe from the Caribbean to Africa and even Asia, bitter melon (Momordica Charantia) has been used for centuries in the treatment of numerous diseases including respiratory complications, stomach bugs, and diabetes.*

Bitter melon contains three active compounds with anti-diabetic properties, including charantin, vicine, and an insulin-like compound called polypeptide-p.*

Research suggests that charantin exerts a blood glucose-lowering effect, with additional studies noting it may be superior to other prescription-grade antidiabetic medications.*

Other studies also note that bitter melon decreases glycogen formation in the liver while also increasing glucose uptake and utilization.*

Banaba Leaf Powder (300mg)

Banaba, a.k.a. Lagerstroemia, is an incredibly well-known botanical agent noted for its antidiabetic properties. The leaves of the banaba plant are rich in a corosolic acid -- a compound believed to induce GLUT4 translocation, which supports increased insulin activity.*

Corosolic acid also has been shown to inhibit enzymatic activities of several diabetes-related non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases, including PTP1B, which may improve insulin receptor B phosphorylation.*

Additional research suggests that corosolic acid supports glycolysis and reduces gluconeogenesis. It even may benefit weight loss too, via inhibition of pancreatic lipase -- the enzyme responsible for fat absorption).*

Berberine (300mg)

Berberine is a wildly popular nutrient partitioning agent frequently used by those seeking to improve glucose regulation. This herb has been documented to enhance glucose uptake into skeletal muscle via AMPK activation.*

In case you weren’t aware, AMPK (5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) is an enzyme affecting cellular energy balance, and activation of AMPK has been noted to increased mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle cells, reduce fat storage, and improve insulin sensitivity.*

Research also suggests that berberine may also be able to stimulate glucose uptake into muscle cells by itself even if the cell happens to be insulin resistant.*

Cyanidin-3-Glucoside (250mg)

C3G just might be the most potent glucose disposal agent you’ve never heard of.*

Naturally-occurring in the colored regions and skins of dark purple fruits, C3G is an anthocyanin shown in research to increase glucose uptake by upregulating GLUT4 expression translocation. Additionally, C3G has also been found to increase PPARγ activity, which may give C3G some insulin-like actions.*

PPARγ has been extensively researched with respect to type 2 diabetes, primarily because it is the primary metabolic regulator of organs and tissues. Research suggests that increased PPARγ expression and activity improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, thereby enhancing carbohydrate processing and storage and avoiding unnecessary spikes in blood sugar levels.*

TWO forms of Alpha Lipoic Acid (200mg total)

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a fatty acid found in the mitochondria of every cell in your body where it plays a vital role energy metabolism. ALA also serves as a powerful antioxidant in the body helping combat oxidative stress and inflammation.*

Primalog includes TWO forms of ALA in Na-R-ALA and Alpha Lipoic Acid.*

Research notes that supplementing with ALA may reduce fasting blood sugar, decrease appetite, and increase energy expenditure -- all of which support healthy glucose metabolism and body composition.*

Chromium (300mcg)

Chromium is a trace mineral essential to a number of important function in the body, including cholesterol synthesis and optimal brain function. It also plays a key role in insulin metabolism, too.*

Without adequate chromium, insulin metabolism suffers, which means your muscles ability to uptake and utilize of glucose, amino acids, and fats is severely compromised.*

Primalog contains chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate as opposed to the more frequently used chromium picolinate. The reason for using this particular form is that research shows that chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate is 18x more bioactive than other types of chromium.*
