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.
Warnings:
While the manufacturer states that GOLO Release contains no caffeine or other stimulants, like all supplements, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate it the same way as pharmaceuticals. So please talk with your doctor before taking it.

Am I the only one that notices the same ingredients in their pet product as the ones they just chastised for GOLO? It is true, most don’t follow the diet. I am just starting it and I know if I don’t change the times I eat and stop starving myself, no diet plan will work. No pill will lose the weight for you. Accept that and you might have a better outcome.
I’ve been taking the GOLO release pills and following the food regimen and as of 9/1/19 till today 10/25/19 I have lost 26lbs I do have itchy ness which sometimes is a lot but it is working. Yes when I finish eating I will develop cramping within a half hour but then it stops after a bathroom trip. If those are my only side effects then I will continue to use it because I am definitely seeing results.
This is my first day and I have such a migraine! I have been spending a lot of money on Emgality to :get rid of my headaches and now I spend more money to lose some weight and end up with a terrible headache. The food plan makes sense but I I think Weight Watchers is a better choice for me because no food is off limits. As soon as I get rid of my headache I will see about returning this product
I have found that after 2 more months use, that indeed my pants are getting loose and my belt has come in three notches. I am uncertain whether I can take the constant thirst and total lack of energy. I reduced intake to a single pill per day… same reduction in waistline but wow the secondary effects are intense.
