Glucofort vs Glucotrust

Neither Glucofort or Glucotrust are particularly good blood sugar supplements, which doesn’t get our breakdown off to the best start, but here we are. That’s not to say that none of the ingredients in here have got a decent amount of clinical studies that back them. Quite a few do, the problem is that both Glucofort and Glucotrust under dose these to the point where they’re ineffective.

There is currently an option on the market, SugaSafe, which does actually have these same ingredients in the correct dosages, in case you wanted to just skip the full review. But we’re going to get into the breakdown anyway, despite the fact that we would recommend neither of these supplements.

Glucofort Overview

Glucofort’s formula contains a few decent ingredients, but we’re going to get into the problems with the dosages.

• Gymnema Sylvestre: This tropical plant extract is known for its ability to stabilize blood sugar levels and suppress sugar cravings. The problem of course is that you need about 4 times what’s in glucofort to match any of the successful clinical trials.
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): Naturally produced in the body, ALA aids in digestion and supports the nervous system. It also has antioxidant properties and helps reduce inflammation. This one is fine, but again more would be better.
• Banaba Leaf: A few studies have shown banaba can raise glucose metabolism and reducing blood sugar levels. But, the problem is that it’s one of the less well backed ingredients for blood sugar.
• L-Taurine: Known for its role in heart health, L-Taurine helps maintain proper blood flow and supports the nervous system it has also been shown to lower blood sugar, and the dosage here is also fine.
• Yarrow Flowers: The evidence is not great that they actually help lower blood sugar.Juniper Berries: Again we have another one here that would be fine, if Glucofort had 10 times more in terms of dosage.
• White Mulberry: This ingredient could help prevent diabetes and reduces lipid levels in the blood, there have been some serious concerns about the safety of the ingredient however.
• Cayenne: Cayenne pepper is more of a metabolism booster, but the dosage is so low in here it won’t do anything anyway.Bitter Melon: Dosage for this is fine, there’s some evidence to support it’s use.
• Cinnamon Bark: Not even close to an effective dosage, you’d need a 10:1 extract, which glucofort doesn’t use and even then they’d be underdosed.

The vitamins and minerals like chromium, manganese, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, and biotin are all fine though. But, you can get all of the well backed ingredients, in their correct dosages in SugaSafe at the same price, so we can’t recommend Glucofort.

Glucotrust Overview

Now on to Glucotrust , we’ve got a lot of the same ingredients, just less, this does mean some of the ingredients are in better doses, but most are still useless.

• Gymnema Sylvester: This ingredient helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduces sugar cravings. It’s in a better dose here.
• Juniper Berries: The dosage in Glucotrust is still too low to be of use.
• Licorice Root: Licorice root is actually pretty good in terms of clinical trials, the dose in glucotrust is a little low though.

The vitamins in glucotrust are solid manganese, biotin, zinc and chromium are all fine.
