Customer Reviews

Insulow
I am writing to correct the reviewer saying that this product is Alpha lipoic acid and Biotin. It is not Alpha lipoic acid. ALA is a cheap mixture of natural and synthetic lipoic acids. Insulow is pure natural R+ lipoic acid. Not ALA or Krala or any of the other cheap inventions of the supplement industry. R+ ALA is now sold by BASF in Germany for diabetics as a drug to manage blood sugar and neuropathy. BASF's costs 4 times as much as Insulow and is not even available in the US. Luckily the FDA classifies R+ ALA as a supplement and not a drug.
There is a study from the Univ of Toronto showing that this ingredient is more effective than the 4 leading drugs used for glucose uptake enhancement in diabetics. That study is on the American Diabetes Association website. Insulow is not the same as ALA and biotin by any means.
Dr. Richard Bernstein now recommends Insulow in his latest Diabetes Self-Management book.

Insulow Really Does Seem to Help!
I bumped into Insulow while researching natural ways to combat high blood sugar for diabetes about a year ago. I've been taking Insulow along with another natural herbal preparation I added to my regime after that, for about a year, and my a1c has been below 7 ever since . . . WITHOUT taking any prescription meds! I also try to eat right and exercise, although I don't exercise as much as I should. Considering that my a1c was 12.9 when I was first diagnosed, that's pretty amazing! My endo isn't sure what's working, but something obviously is. I'll keep taking the Insulow as long as it's available and keeps working for me.

After just 3 weeks of using this product my fasting blood sugar has dropped to 111. Thats over 40 points!!!! Pretty impressive. My Dr. started me on Metformin but it made me very sick. This stuff works much better wiht no side effects. I wish I had known about this years ago as I have been fighting with high fasting sugars for years. This product is a god send.
