Golo

The GOLO Release supplement is made up of all-natural plant and mineral-based ingredients. Some ingredients include omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, chromium, and fiber. These ingredients are beneficial for people with insulin resistance as they help to improve the body’s ability to use insulin and reduce blood sugar levels. Additionally, GOLO Release may help to protect against some diseases, such as heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

According to their website, Release contains 7 plant-based ingredients and 3 minerals. Our body is familiar with plants and their healing properties and can metabolize plant material better than synthetic substances. The composition of plants, which includes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, is part of our biochemistry. Synthetics cannot mimic the antioxidant protection from plants’ oxidative stress. The ingredients in Release can help you regain metabolic balance and will not only help you lose weight but also supports overall well-being.

Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of GOLO Release ingredients.

Magnesium (as Albion dimagnesium malate): Magnesium is an essential nutrient for the brain and body. It helps regulate blood sugar, among its many benefits. Yet a magnesium deficiency is often seen in people with diabetes.

Zinc (as TRAACS zinc glycinate chelate): Zinc acts like insulin when administered to insulin-sensitive tissue and stimulates insulin action. It binds to insulin receptors, activates insulin signaling pathways, and more, all of which result in glucose uptake by cells and glucose clearance from the blood. Zinc is also necessary for the correct processing, storage, and secretion of insulin, and it can protect against the β-cell loss, a hallmark of diabetes. Because zinc is closely tied to insulin functioning, zinc deficiency is associated with poor β-cell function and higher incidences of insulin resistance.

Chromium (as TRAACS chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate): Chromium is an essential trace element used by some people as a supplement. Perhaps most importantly, chromium forms a compound in the body that seems to enhance the effects of insulin and lower glucose levels.

Rhodiola extract (Rhodiola Rosea L root): Rhodiola has been shown to help protect against diabetes in rodents, suggesting it may be a valuable

supplement for diabetes management in humans. However, more research on humans is needed.

Inositol: Inositol is a carbohydrate found in your body and in food and dietary supplements. Inositol plays a role in insulin signaling and may sometimes improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Benefits have been seen in individuals with metabolic syndrome, women at risk for gestational diabetes, and women with PCOS.

Berberine Extract (Berberis vulgaris, bark, and root): Berberine is a compound found in many plants, including European barberry, Phellodendron, Oregon grape, goldenseal, and goldthread. Berberine has also been shown to lower glucose levels in people with diabetes. Studies show that it helps your body respond better to insulin and prevents your liver from creating more glucose. As a result, people with diabetes may find berberine helps lower their blood sugar levels. Berberine effectively reduces blood sugar and HbA1c, which are elevated in people with diabetes. It works as well as some pharmaceutical drugs.

Gardenia extracts 10:1 (Gardenia jasminoides, fruit): Gardenia is a plant. The fruits are used to make medicine. Geniposide, one of the main ingredients of Gardenia jasminoides, is effective in inhibiting body weight gain and improving abnormal lipid levels, high insulin levels, impaired glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance.

Banaba extract (Lagerstroemia speciosa, leaf): Banaba leaves are renowned for lowering blood sugar levels. In addition, they’ve been shown to improve risk factors for heart disease and provide antioxidant and anti-obesity activity. Research suggests that these leaves are a safe herbal remedy.

Salaretin Salacia extracts 6:1 (Salacia reticulata, bark): Salaretin® is a standardized extract from Salacia reticulata bark, containing an optimal amount of mangiferin and salacinol. Salacia Reticulata is a medicinal herb from Ayurveda that appears to have anti-diabetic activities, namely by inhibiting carbohydrate uptake from the intestines; it seems pretty effective at this, similar to Acarbose in potency.

Apple extract (Malus Domestica, fruit): Apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Apples have a minimal effect on blood sugar levels and are unlikely to cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, even in those with diabetes. They’re also highly nutritious.

Directions:

GOLO recommends consuming one capsule three times daily during or at the end of each meal, though dosage may differ depending on how much weight you’re aiming to lose. According to the company, full dosage instructions are included with the purchase of the supplement.
