New, Natural Product Promotes Efficient Glucose Regulation, Increased Energy

Pleasanton, CA, August 22, 2002 – Most Americans are aware of the importance of cholesterol levels, but many do not pay much attention to blood sugar levels. They should – according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated 17 million Americans have very serious problems with blood sugar regulation. In addition, a total of 70 million Americans are likely to have seriously high blood sugar levels that can negatively affect long–term cardiovascular health and a host of other related ailments.

For those looking for dietary support in regulating their blood sugar, Shaklee Corporation introduces Glucose Regulation Complex, a dietary supplement that provides natural support for proper glucose metabolism. Glucose Regulation Complex helps transport glucose into cells, effectively making the body's system more efficient at utilizing blood sugar and retaining normal blood sugar levels. In addition, Glucose Regulation Complex helps sustain energy and prevent the steep blood sugar declines that can lead to food cravings and the general desire to eat more food than the body needs for energy.

Inefficient glucose utilization is related to many factors, including stress, unhealthy eating, inactivity and weight gain. In turn, these lifestyle habits can lead to higher circulating blood glucose, food cravings, lower energy and even more weight gain. Glucose Regulation Complex - when combined with proper nutrition and regular exercise – increases the efficiency of blood glucose regulation and aids normal responsiveness of cells to insulin. Having more insulin means it takes less to do the same job of getting energy into the body's cells. But the benefits don't stop there. More efficient glucose regulation leads to increased energy levels and decreased food cravings, ultimately helping even more to retain normal blood sugar levels.

"Shaklee recognizes the importance of blood glucose regulation for long–term health, and Glucose Regulation Complex, with its unique blend of ingredients, provides a natural approach to retaining normal blood sugar levels," said Ray Cooper, Vice President of Research and Health Sciences for health and wellness company Shaklee Corporation. "Glucose Regulation Complex also provides a great side benefit of an energy boost while it reduces food cravings."

Glucose Regulation Complex is made up of a proprietary blend of minerals, botanicals and antioxidants, including Banaba leaf extract, chromium, magnesium, vanadium, zinc, taurine and alpha lipoic acid, which is a powerful antioxidant that facilitates glucose transport and enhances the antioxidant effects of vitamins C and E. Each bottle provides a 30-day supply and sells for $27.90. To find out how to order, call 1–800–426–0766 or visit
