Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the blood glucose(sugar) level is too high.  Glucose gets into our cells to be used for energy through the help of insulin hormone produced by our pancreas.  If our body doesn’t make enough insulin, glucose will then stay in our blood and won’t reach our cells and too much sugar in our blood can lead to serious health problems.

I am saddened to know about the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) study that one out of every five Filipinos has diabetes.  By the year 2030, the United Nations agency predicts that the Philippines will be among the top 10 countries with the most people with the said chronic disease. This translates to over seven million Filipinos.

Diabetes has no cure but it can be treated and controlled by living a healthy lifestyle.  Luckily during the recently held townhall at Mario’s Restaurant, I learned about BIOHERB, an affordable and all-natural way to deal with diabetes.  It’s a 4-in-1 natural treatment with known hypoglycemic effect against high blood sugar.

BIOHERB was first introduced by Dr. Jaime Z. Galvez Tan, a former department of
Health Secretary. Manufactured by La Croesus Pharma Inc. and distributed by the top-
quality nutraceutical company Nutra Berde Inc., this amazing food supplement is
packed with the leaf extracts of four plants known to be the most effective in lowering
sugar levels— ampalaya, banaba, camote, and duhat.

Each of these green plant ingredients contain compounds that are beneficial to those
with or predisposed to diabetes. Every BIOHERB tablet contains the right dosage of
these nutrients to make it more safe and effective.

• Ampalaya Leaves leaves contain charantin which has insulin-like properties that
  help lower blood sugar levels. It also has flavonoids and vitamins that help the
  pancreas produce ore insulin.
• Banaba Leaves known as a medicinal herb in the country, has corosolic acid
  which inhibits absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines.
•  Camote Leaves with its high nutritional value contains anthocyanins helps in
  increasing insulin sensitivity and lowers resistance to insulin. Helps in preventing
  protein glycation or bonding of sugar molecule which is considered major risk
  factor for diabetes.
•  Duhat Leaves, the leaves of black palm fruit, have polyphenol extracts which
  help heighten insulin sensitivity and also increase production of insulin in the
  pancreas. It helps in the inhibition of alpha amylase an enzyme that produces
  starch & glycogen resulting the builds up of high level of glucose in the body

It also contain anti-oxidants, which help improve the body’s overall health, and help strengthen the body’s metabolism.  It can be taken once day or as recommended, with or after each meal.

Immediate positive effects of BIOHERB include:

•  Lowers blood sugar in a manageable level.
•  Lowers level of cholesterol and triglyceride, at the same time elevating HDL
  (good cholesterol).
•  Enhances insulin secretion and peripheral glucose utilization.
•  Reduces glycogenesis in liver tissues.
•  Inhibits absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines.
•  Helps lower blood pressure in part due to diuretic effect of Banaba.

BIOHERB is available in Mercury Drug Stores and leading drug stores nationwide at
Php11.00 (SRP) per 500mg tablet.
