Glucose is a sugar that serves as our body’s primary source of cellular energy, as well as an energy source for most living creatures. It’s naturally found in almost all plants, which produce it via photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide.
Blood glucose is tightly regulated for good reasons. Too much or too little can negatively affect our body’s natural balance, or homeostasis, potentially leading to a host of health concerns. In addition, poor lifestyle choices such as lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol and junk food consumption, and other factors can contribute to poor blood sugar regulation.
Glucose management through nutrition
Thankfully a healthy diet and regular exercise are all most of us will need to maintain healthy blood sugar throughout life. But if your diet is lacking, supplements can help to fill in the gaps and support your body’s natural ability to manage blood sugar.*
