Glucevia™ is a patented extract derived exclusively from the samara of Fraxinus angustifolia . Using a traditional extraction process, we were the first to develop a unique, patented extract standardised to 10% total nuzhenide and GL3.(11) Nuzehnide and GL3 are naturally occurring Fraxinus compounds associated with healthy blood glucose management.²
Two double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials have demonstrated its ability to support healthy blood glucose levels.² ³
In the first clinical study with 16 healthy people, there was a significant 9% decrease in glycaemic area under the blood glucose curve (AUC) after consumption of Glucevia™ compared to placebo³. These findings suggest that Glucevia™ supports the uptake of glucose from the blood into the liver and muscle cells.³
The significant benefits of longer-term use of Glucevia™ were demonstrated in a 2014 study in elderly, non-diabetic, overweight/obese people.² Three weeks of taking Glucevia™ resulted in a significant 28% reduction in blood glucose, compared to a non-significant reduction of 8% with a placebo.
