1. What is SugarSURE™?

SugarSURE™ is an all-natural German-developed nutritional technology to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Utilizing a proprietary Bitter Melon Concentrate, it reduces fasting glucose levels as well as lowers and stabilizes HbA1c levels. The ingredients in SugarSURE™ have been clinically proven to modulate carbohydrate metabolism and slow absorption of glucose from the intestine.

2. Why is SugarSURE™ better than other supplements?

Bitter melon supplements are not all the same… most other supplements on the market today use a low-dose bitter melon extract. SugarSURE™ is a specially designed, high-dose, 10% Charantin, pesticide-free, bitter melon concentrate manufactured using GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). Additionally SugarSURE™ is pH sensitive and provides for maximum ingredient absorption in the intestine. Finally, SugarSURE™ has been proven effective in human clinical trials.

3. How does SugarSURE™ work?

Certain fatty acids in our food are responsible for starting a sequence of events in the intestine that culminate in signaling the pancreas to naturally secrete insulin into the blood to deal with the glucose that is coming. Unfortunately, in the Western diet today, many of these key fatty acids have been removed. SugarSURE™ is a safe and effective dietary food supplement to help fill this nutrient shortfall.

The specially-developed bitter melon concentrate in SugarSURE™ provides actions similar to these missing fatty acids. It is not only extremely effective in naturally stimulating the secretion of peptides to signal the pancreas for insulin production, but also helps to slow the absorption of glucose from the intestine into the bloodstream¹. The combination of these actions helps to lower blood glucose levels without increased levels of insulin …this is a very unique action that SugarSURE™ provides.

4. What is HbA1c and why is it important?

The HbA1c test is a simple lab test that shows the average amount of sugar in your blood over the last 2-3 months. It is the best way to find out if your blood-sugar is under control². People with blood-sugar related problems should have an HbA1c test at least twice a year. In general, the higher your HbA1c value, the higher the risk that you will develop problems such as eye disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, heart disease, and stroke. This is especially true if your HbA1c remains elevated. The closer your HbA1c value is to normal, the less risk you have for these complications. SugarSURE™ has been clinically proven to reduce and stabilize HbA1c levels. What is your HbA1c level? Check the chart here.

5. How do I use SugarSURE™?

It is suggested to take one tablet before large meals, twice daily, or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

6. Is SugarSURE™ safe?

Yes. When taken properly SugarSURE™ has been shown to be safe. If taking with other blood-sugar medications please consult your physician before using and monitor your blood sugar levels closely as there is a risk of blood sugar levels dropping below normal. This does not replace insulin or any other blood-sugar lowering drugs. Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing.

7. Is SugarSURE™ clinically proven?

Yes. In the first two human clinical trials performed, the action of two SugarSURE™ tablets daily was proven to reduce the fasting glucose level and HbA1c, as well as initiate and modulate the natural glucose metabolism process that typically occurs with essential fatty acids like those found in olive oil. There is no doubt this specially developed bitter melon concentrate can have a profound effect on glucose metabolism and blood sugar levels. SugarSURE™ has been used successfully to lower fasting glucose levels by 25% and lower and maintain HbA1c levels by an average of 0.5 percentage points in a matter of months³.

8. What is Bitter Melon?

Bitter Melon (Momordica Charantia) is a green, bitter vegetable from the gourd family, grown in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the Amazon, East Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and South America. The slender, climbing vine produces a warty, oblong gourd resembling a small cucumber. The Bitter Melon concentrate used in SugarSURE™ is grown using pesticide free farming and the resulting proprietary concentrate is manufactured to GMP standards.
