Glucose Essentials® will help you win the
blood sugar battle once and for all!
Folks, get ready to impress your doctor with great glucose numbers! Glucose Essentials contains the recent Swiss discovery called Portusana® Purslane Extract, which takes my acclaimed formula to a whole new level. It not only promotes normal blood sugar levels and better insulin sensitivity—but it also helps lower the critical hemoglobin A1C blood sugar marker! But this is more than numbers on a blood test—these are benefits you’re going to feel. By helping to even out the blood sugar spikes and drops, Portusana helps to give you a slow, steady supply of energy.
Altogether, Glucose Essentials will help:
- Balance blood sugar
- Lower A1C levels
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Fight sugar cravings
- And much more!
I have lost 35 pounds and my A1C levels and daily readings have been reduced.”*

Improve your cells’ insulin sensitivity
While the studies on Portusana are excellent, the star ingredient in Glucose Essentials is Silbinol®, a pure, concentrated extract of the Indian kino tree. Silbinol helps remove sugar from your bloodstream and transport it into your cells. Read more about the studies behind Silbinol as well as the importance of the trace mineral chromium here.
Boost your insulin efficiency
Even with healthy gateways, sometimes your insulin needs more help to move enough glucose from your bloodstream into your cells. Vanadyl sulfate, a naturally occurring bright blue mineral, comes to the rescue by mimicking your body’s own natural insulin.

I’m always looking for the most advanced ways to keep you healthy, and your blood sugar is no exception. My Glucose Essentials formula is based on the most up-to-date research, and it’s the foundation of my Advanced Glucose Program. I also recommend that you take the Forward Plus Daily Regimen to meet all your daily nutrient needs. Blood sugar and insulin play key roles in several important health areas. That’s why I encourage you to support your glucose levels by eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, and taking targeted nutrients—all of which help maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Scientific Support
Portusana®
Swiss discovery improves your blood sugar in 3 ways
Scientists hit blood sugar pay dirt with the Swiss discovery of Portusana Purslane Extract. Portusana, from an edible leafy plant, improves insulin sensitivity, blocks dietary glucose from entering your bloodstream, and improves hemoglobin A1C levels (a long-term measurement of your body’s ability to control glucose).
Two separate, very significant studies show impressive results using Portusana. In one pilot clinical trial, researchers found that Portusana reduced blood sugar levels after only 2–3 weeks.1 A second, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study saw subjects’ A1C levels decrease.2 Great numbers, plus Portusana evens out glucose spikes and drops—a benefit you’re going to feel.
Silbinol
Clinical trials showed that patients taking 450 mg of Silbinol daily for 12 weeks had an average drop of 32 points in their fasting glucose.3
Chromium
The trace mineral chromium also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing the number of “gateways” on your cell walls that allow glucose to enter. And Glucose Essentials gives you a generous 198 mcg of chromium in the highly absorbable polynicotinate form to get the job done.
Vanadyl Sulfate
Studies show that vanadyl sulfate can drop fasting glucose by 20% in just four weeks4—plus improve insulin sensitivity. But most supplements give you one-tenth of what you need. I insisted on using the same full research dose in Glucose Essentials that I’ve had great success with at the Whitaker Wellness Institute. So you get a completely safe dose that’s proven effective.
GlucoHelp®
But that’s not all. Glucose Essentials includes another insulin efficiency booster called GlucoHelp banaba leaf extract that also enhances glucose transport and promotes normal blood sugar levels.
GS4 Plus®
Slow the flow of dietary sugars into your bloodstream
Gymnema extract slows the release of sugar from the foods you eat, keeping your blood sugar steady. And the special GS4 Plus form in Glucose Essentials has been shown in clinical trials to lower blood glucose and A1C levels.5

I decided I wanted to give off the SolaStar insulin I was taking along with metformin and glimiperide to control my Type 2 diabetes, so I tried Glucose Essentials. I started off with the 3 capsules per day before each meal. It might have been better to start off with 1 capsule, however; it took 3 months for my digestive tract to settle down. I've been taking it for six months now. My A1C dropped from 7.3 to 6.9. My doctor was a bit wary about my stopping the insulin, but when he saw the A1C he said to keep it up. It controls my fasting blood sugar as well as the insulin did, and controls the after-meal peak better than insulin did. A side effect is that it makes me feel fuller much more quickly; I'm eating about half of what I used to and still feel full, and I've lost 20 pounds.
I can pretty well predict how it helps me get through the day, if I eat right and take them at the right time. (Also, I) am impressed with the Forward Gold Vitamin plan--I am 69.
lower blood sugar
I am a pre diabetic, and for the past six years since 2006 I have an a1/c reading of 6.4. Since using GLUCOSE ESSENTIALS my last a1/c reading was 6.2. I am thrilled.
This supplement is a lifesaver. It is incredibly effective. I don't go to a doctor, the main reason I know I have blood sugar issues is the fierce thirst that I get when it is out of whack. Glucose Essentials smooths it all out, brings my body back into balance, and the intense thirst goes away. It has also helped me to heal from a very pernicious case of Candida. What a blessing. I'm so very thankful Dr. Whitaker has devoted his life to researching and making profound and natural healing alternatives available to the public! He is a national treasure!
Taking 3 capsules a day of "Glucose Essentials" does bring down my Glucose numbers overall. I feel much better physically, mentally all over. I will certainly stay with the program for now. I look forward to seeing my morning numbers now, with the success of "Glucose Essentials" .
Keeps me from taking prescription drugs. Keeps my sugar more level than my sisters who is taking prescription drugs. Thanks for this medicine.
I have been taking Glucose Essentials as suggested for 3 weeks. My glucose level has not changed on my daily readings. My diet is controlled and I exercise regularly. I have felt no change in my energy levels. However, my daily ( 3 times ) glucose readings have remained unchanged. I am discouraged from using this any further.
Very good product, my sugar just kept going up and I ordered this product about one and half years ago. My sugar checks at about 105 to110 every morning if I eat right.
Great Glucose essentials for 7 months of which my NUMB feet came alive again, dizzuness was gone, LOST 67 pounds and got back into my HIGH SCHOOL clothes, my thighs shed most of the fat, my thighs were quivering for 2 weeks, felt great.....but my sugar was never lower than 300 and they are too expensive for my S.S.only budget ,,,,I had been put backon Metformin for 5 days & nights horrible stomach aches, gone..... insulin only durng he pulls I gained 10 pounds & now on insulun I have gained 42 pounds again. I really miss Glucose Essentials,but the price. i also now have eye damage cause of the high sugar for 6 months. I am ready to go back & somehow find the money.......I was never depressed on them,..like now.
