A) Purslane

Purslane (Portusana™), A therapeutic herb that is rich in valuable nutrients, purslane has been known since the times of ancient Egytians and is treasured for its antidiabetic properties in Near Eastern folk medicine. The use of this plant as vegetable, spice and medical around the world has achieved almost identical recognition in each culture for its benefits.

A brand new Swiss discovery called Portusana™ is a Clinical trial supported purslane herb extract, manufactured from the finest quality of Portulaca oleracea L. As a highly concentrated source of purslane, Portusana™ positively affects blood glucose metabolism by acting on 3 different mechanisms that help to promote not only normal blood sugar levels and better insulin sensitivity, but it also helps lower the critical haemoglobin-A1c (HbA1c) blood sugar marker in pre and type 2 diabetics :-

• Increase cell glucose uptake from bloodstream
• Modulate cell sensitivity to insulin (making more efficient insulin usage)
• Reduce glucose absorption from intestine into bloodstream

B) Green Barley

Research has shown that excess sugar in the blood appears to increase the production of free radicals and induces oxidative stress to protein, DNA and lipids of cells. It has been linked to arterial damage and blocked arteries, nerve damage and numbness, tiny blood vessels damage in retina and blindness, filters damage in kidneys and renal failure, and gum problems among others.

The harmful effect of free radicals are balanced by the action of antioxidants. Organic green barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a storehouse of enzymatic antioxidants and nonenzymatic antioxidants (Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, Glutathione-Peroxidase, Vitamin C & E, Carotenoids and Favonoids) help combat free radicals that cause various forms of tissue damage. The wholesome alkaline food also provides a full spectrum nutrition that body may be lacking due to unbalanced diet or stress in diabetes.
