Sensolin: The Basics
-
Why Should You Take Sensolin?
Let’s be honest. There are a lot of overhyped supplements on the market that promise to help you live forever, even if you don’t have great lifestyle habits.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you plan to take Sensolin without eating healthy food or getting off the couch, you might as well save your money.
In reality, supplements are meant to support your already healthy lifestyle and aren’t meant as a replacement for proper nutrition, sleep, or exercise.
How many people have you seen at the gym taking branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)?
Even though there’s little evidence to support their ability to help you gain muscle, they’ve become one of the most popular exercise supplements on the market.
Sensolin improves your blood sugar regulation naturally by increasing your body’s own ability to handle glucose properly.
By controlling your glucose levels, all the side effects that tend to come with them can dissipate.
You’ll be better able to control your hunger, maintain a healthy weight, and increase your energy levels as a result. And the best part is, there’s no medication involved.
Each one of these natural ingredients has been specially hand-picked to help control blood sugar levels and alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms that often ensue as a result. These ingredients are not only effective individually on their own, but when combined in perfect doses, they can work in harmony to help you get your health back on track.
-
Recommended Daily Dosage
We recommend that you take 1 capsule 3 times a day with a meal.
This will allow for you to effectively handle the glucose from the meal that you are eating and stabilize your blood sugar for hours on end. Allowing you to feel full and satisfied without crazy blood sugar swings.
-

Ceylon Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a household name and can be found on almost every spice rack in America. This savory spice is popular in many dishes, including popular desserts such as pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls. The use of cinnamon dates back to 2800 BC and originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Although cinnamon is most commonly known for its flavor, it was originally used for its medicinal purposes, such as treatment of various ailments, embalming, and anointing. Since its discovery, much research has been conducted to uncover the various health benefits that cinnamon offers. Let’s take a closer look at cinnamon and how it can elevate your health.
What Is Cinnamon?
There are two types of cinnamon. The first is called Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon), and the second is called Cassia cinnamon, which is also known as Saigon cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is named after its origins and is the type of cinnamon of interest for its health benefits. It is important to understand that cassia cinnamon is the version of cinnamon most commonly found in grocery stores. Ceylon cinnamon is more difficult to find and for that reason tends to be more expensive. Nutritionally cinnamon contains significant levels of manganese, iron, dietary fiber and calcium.
Benefits of Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most common spices in the world. Its benefits stretch far beyond adding a wonderful flavor to food and beverages.
Regulating Blood Glucose Levels
Studies show that cinnamon offers benefits to individuals with diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that occurs when your blood glucose levels are high. In fact, diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. Insulin, which is made in the pancreas, helps the body utilize glucose. When your body doesn’t produce enough insulin or use insulin efficiently, the glucose isn’t able to leave the bloodstream, which results in high blood glucose levels. Research shows that cinnamon can actually behave much like insulin and help transport glucose out of the bloodstream and into the cells. This helps to regulate blood glucose levels in both diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals. In pre-diabetic individuals, it can prevent full-blown diabetes for up to a number of years.
Reduce Levels of LDL Cholesterol
High cholesterol4 means that your body could build fatty deposits in your blood vessels. This, in turn, restricts blood flow, which can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular diseases. Research suggests that cinnamon reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol. One study showed that the consumption of 1, 3, 0r 6 grams of cinnamon per day reduced total cholesterol levels in individuals who had type 2 diabetes.
Reduce Insulin Resistance
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)5 is a hormonal disorder affecting women that can not only cause fertility issues but can lead to complications such as Type 2 diabetes. Studies show that cinnamon can help reduce insulin resistance in women who have been diagnosed with PCOS.
Additional studies have shown that cinnamon is beneficial as an antioxidant and an antimicrobial.
How to Use Cinnamon
Cinnamon is most commonly either used as a flavoring in food or as an over-the-counter dietary supplement. Although research strongly backs the health benefits of consuming cinnamon, it is still a medically unproven treatment. For this reason, it is not FDA regulated and there is not an established dose. As mentioned above, studies have used 1, 3, and 6-gram doses in trials without negative side effects.
It is important to note that cinnamon naturally contains a compound called coumarin. Coumarin has been linked to liver damage when consumed in high dosages specifically when it comes to the Saigon variety. It is important to speak with your medical professional when it comes to changing your dietary regimen. Your doctor can advise a recommended daily dosage based on your age, health, and any current health conditions, as well as whether or not cinnamon will interfere with the current medications you are taking.
Foods That Contain Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the most common spices used in food dishes in the world. In some cases, the flavor of cinnamon is bold and in others it is subtle, and you may not even realize cinnamon is an ingredient in the dish. It can be found in popular beverages such as herbal teas, smoothies and flavored coffees. Many kinds of breakfast cereal and breakfast bars contain cinnamon for added flavor.
Desserts such as pies, snickerdoodle cookies and cakes call for cinnamon as an ingredient. Cinnamon toast is a fun take on butter toast that calls for a mixture of sugar and cinnamon as a topping on the butter. Many people also enjoy cinnamon and butter as a topping to sweet potatoes.
What most people do not realize is that even certain flavors of ice creams, candy, and chewing gum contain cinnamon. There are literally thousands of uses for the very versatile spice that is cinnamon.
Is Cinnamon Healthy?
Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most common spices in the world. Its benefits stretch far beyond adding a wonderful flavor to food and beverages. There is strong evidence that individuals who suffer from type 2 diabetes can benefit the most from the consumption of cinnamon. It is a powerful anti-diabetic that can help naturally control the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. Other benefits include decreasing the levels of cholesterol which will help prevent life-threatening cardiovascular issues such as heart attack and stroke.
Traditional methods have without a doubt increased life expectancy with the ability to treat and manage serious medical conditions. However, the medicinal properties of natural spices should not be discounted. Cinnamon is an age-old spice that is not only a powerful spice but offers a variety of medicinal benefits as well.

Chromium
Chromium is a mineral known as an “essential trace element,” which means you don’t need a lot of chromium to experience the health benefits. Chromium is found in both food and some supplements, so getting enough should be easy. Not only that, there are many advantages from getting your daily amount of chromium.
Different Forms of Chromium
There are two major types of chromium:
Trivalent Chromium - Found in food, trivalent chromium (chromium 3+) is biologically active, meaning it’s safe to consume.
Hexavalent Chromium - This form is a toxic variant of chromium. Hexavalent chromium (chromium 6+) is a result of industrial pollution, meaning it isn’t safe to consume.
Otherwise, it is an essential trace element, but whenever “chromium” is mentioned in terms of human health, assume trivalent chromium is what’s being inferred.
In supplementation, chromium actually comes in the form of chromium picolinate. This type has been researched as beneficial to your overall health, as the next section shows.
Benefits
Chromium packs a lot of punch with a really small dose (which is revealed in the next section). Here are the benefits:
- Improves blood sugar
- Lowers hunger/cravings
- Weight loss management
- Reduces insulin resistance
- Could potentially reduce symptoms of depression
These are fantastic things to have from a health and wellbeing standpoint, so it’s pivotal to get your recommended daily allowance of chromium.
How to Use
Chromium usually comes in the form of a pill or powder when supplemented. Take with your first meal of the day. You should only have to supplement once daily.
Chromium is typically included in many popular supplements and isn’t normally bought by itself. It’s a regular addition to weight management supplements, due to its suppression of cravings, most notably sweets and other carbohydrates that can be stored easily as fat. Another way chromium is supplemented is through daily multivitamins. In either case, it should provide your daily need for chromium.
Daily Recommended Allowance
According to the Dietary Reference Intakes (developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences), males get anywhere between 25-35 mcg of chromium daily, while females acquire for 20-25. “Mcg” stands for microgram; one microgram equates to 1/1000 of a milligram, meaning you don’t need very much. (In fact, the most you’d ever need as a human would be if you’re a lactating female, at which point you’d only require 44-45mcg per day.)
These values are, in fact, not recommended daily allowances (RDAs) due to the lack of sufficient research of chromium. The ranges above are actually Adequate Intakes (AIs), which translates to, “a level that healthy people typically consume.” There is also an “estimated safe and adequate daily dietary intake” for chromium: a range of 50-200mcg.
For supplementation purposes, keep this last range of values in mind; when looking for a decent product, look for 50-200mcg per dose.
Symptoms of Chromium Deficiency
There are only a handful of crucial symptoms for those with a chromium deficiency:
- Craving sweets
- Increased risk of depression
- Decreased ability for your body to metabolize fats and glucose
- Inhibition of protein production
- Additional production of cholesterol and triglycerides
That last symptom is particularly bad because heightened cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood result in higher fat storage in the body as well as potential heart health issues.
Who Is at Risk of a Deficiency
Chromium deficiency is quite rare; however, there are a select few who are at risk, including elderly people and those with Type 2 diabetes. Sadly, these claims are not substantiated by research and can only be speculative at best. Still, if you notice any of the above symptoms, it would be best to test chromium levels with your medical professional.
Symptoms of Chromium Toxicity
Another potentially harmful condition is chromium toxicity, or where you take in too much chromium. Thankfully, with the intestinal absorption rate being so low, this affliction is also quite uncommon. There is no maximum daily intake level established by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, so it’s tough to know whether or not there are any symptoms of taking too much chromium.
At the very least, it would be wasteful to attempt to consume more and more chromium; while there aren’t any adverse effects of this to date, there aren’t any positive effects of doing this either.
Foods That Contain Chromium
Apparently, quantifying chromium amounts in food sources is tricky, based off of the fact that agricultural and livestock production quality is highly varied. With different soils, practices and pesticides, chromium levels are altered from one piece of food to the other, even if they’re the same food.
Nevertheless, there are certain foods that should normally have a decent amount of chromium:
- Lean Beef
- Oysters
- Eggs
- Turkey
- Cheese
- Apples
- Bananas
- Prunes
- Orange/ Grape Juice
- Potatoes
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Basil
Again, this list doesn’t include portion amounts or chromium levels per serving because there isn’t a heavily researched, set level for these foods. You shouldn’t worry about this, though; you’ll be able to ingest plenty of chromium by picking a handful of these foods and consuming them as part of your daily diet.

Berberine
More specifically, berberine is a type of alkaloid, which are chemicals that are derived from plants and often have similar effects as pharmaceutical drugs.Berberine has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat many different types of ailments. Today, it is still used to treat various health issues in the medical realm.
How Does Berberine Work?
Berberine mimics how traditional pharmaceutical drugs work. When ingested, berberine travels to the body’s cells through the bloodstream where it then binds to many different molecular sites and alters their function.
More specifically, berberine activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme inside the cells of different organs, such as the brain, heart, liver and kidney. AMPK is key to regulating the metabolism.
Essentially, berberine impacts the body at a molecular level and serves a myriad of functions once inside the cells.
Benefits of Berberine
There are several ailments that berberine may be able to alleviate, including the following:
Diabetes
Some studies suggest that berberine may be able to reduce blood sugar levels in people suffering from Type II diabetes. It may even be just as effective as traditional pharmaceutical medication used to target the disease, including metformin.
Berberine may be effective in treating the symptoms associated with diabetes in a few different ways. For instance, it has been shown to reduce insulin resistance, which makes insulin more effective at lowering blood sugar levels. It may also help with the metabolism of sugars inside cells while slowing the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut.
Berberine may also work as a complementary supplement to traditional diabetes medications that are developed to reduce blood sugar levels in those with the disease.
Weight Issues
Berberine may be an effective weight loss agent5, according to studies. One particular study found that participants who took 500 mg of berberine three times daily lost an average of 5 pounds over a 12-week period compared to those who took a placebo.
Further, researchers also discovered that the consumption of berberine also significantly lowered blood lipid levels in the study’s subjects.
The fat loss effect of berberine may be attributed to an improvement in hormones, such as adiponectin, leptin and insulin, which are instrumental in regulating body fat6. The supplement may also be effective at hindering fat cell development at a molecular level.
High Cholesterol
People with high levels of bad cholesterol in the blood may find berberine helpful. More specifically, berberine has been shown to reduce total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and blood triglycerides, while increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol7. Further, berberine has also been linked to a reduction in apolipoprotein B, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease8.
Berberine’s effect on cholesterol and blood triglycerides may be attributed to its potential ability to inhibit PCSK9, an enzyme that binds to the receptor for LDL particles and transports it in the blood9. By inhibiting the enzyme, berberine may be able to allow more LDL to be removed from the blood.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can be effectively managed with pharmaceutical medication, but berberine may be an effective natural complement to such medical intervention for this ailment. Studies have shown that berberine may help to reduce blood pressure in some people.
That said, it’s important to be careful with dosing and with the exact mix of berberine high blood pressure medications, as taking berberine along with these drugs could cause blood pressure to drop too much.
Inflammation
Berberine has been shown to potentially possess anti-inflammatory properties. It may be associated with a reduction of inflammation of the airways, blood vessels, liver, and fat tissues.
Canker Sores
Some studies have shown that applying a berberine topical gel to canker sores may help to combat their uncomfortable symptoms.
Gut Issues
Berberine may be effective in reducing “leaky gut,” a condition whereby intestinal permeability is increased, allowing toxins to be able to leak through the intestinal wall and cause discomfort. It may also be able to normalize gut bacteria and reduce the effects of inflammation on the intestinal wall.
How to Use Berberine
Berberine may be taken orally to treat ailments such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels. It may also be applied to the skin to treat topical issues such as canker sores, blisters, and burns.
Recommended Daily Allowance For Berberine
Studies on berberine suggest that a daily dosage of anywhere between 900 mg to 1500 mg per day is safe for human consumption.
More specifically, berberine should be taken periodically throughout the day rather than in one large dose once per day in order to maintain its effects, particularly for blood sugar levels. For instance, 300 mg to 500 mg taken three times a day before meals would be ideal.
It’s highly recommended that anyone wishing to take berberine should speak with a physician first before introducing it to a diet regimen.
Side Effects of Berberine
Studies suggest that berberine is safe, though it may come with certain minor side effects, including:
- Stomach cramps
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Gas
Anyone taking other medications — particularly drugs to lower blood sugar levels – should speak with a doctor first, as berberine may reduce the effects of the pharmaceuticals.
Supplementing with Berberine
Berberine has long been used as a natural medication to target specific ailments, and studies have shown that it may continue to be an effective and powerful supplement that can be taken alongside traditional medications or as a natural alternative.
As with any other type of supplement or medication, be sure to consult with a physician prior to consuming berberine, especially when combining it with other medications.

Banaba Leaf
Banaba leaf also known as Lagerstroemia is a tropical flowering tree that grows in India with wide-ranging benefits due to the various molecules found within it.
The first study using banaba was published in 1940.
Banaba leaf’s main constituent is called corosolic acid. Corosolic acid is a potent anti-diabetic and blood-glucose-lowering agent. Some studies show that just a 1% extract taken for just 2 weeks can lower blood glucose by 30%.
The antidiabetic activity of an extract from the leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa standardized to 1% corosolic acid has been demonstrated in a randomized clinical trial involving Type II diabetics (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM). (Link)
GlucoHelp™ is a proprietary banaba leaf extract, manufactured in Japan and standardized to 18% corosolic acid. Sensolin has 5mg of this potent ingredient, making it one of the most potent supplements available on the market.
Studies have also shown that banaba has antagonistic effect on the differentiation of adipocytes. Meaning that it can help down the rate at which fat cells are produced!
-
Biotin
While known as “vitamin H”, biotin is a B vitamin and coenzyme. It’s present in a number of different types of foods and may play a role in decreasing insulin resistance related to type 2 diabetes.
Biotin was first discovered in 1927 by the biochemist M.A. Boas. Originally it was seen to be very dense in the hair, skin, and nails of mammals.
Biotin helps the body manage glucose to produce energy in the cell. It works synergistically with chromium to help enhance the function of insulin, causing a smaller amount of insulin to be needed to allow blood sugar to enter the cell.
Various studies have demonstrated that injected biotin can improve glucose handling without increasing insulin secretion in STZ-rats. (Link)
In biotin deficiencies, energy production is impaired in two ways: by decreased utilization of glucose and by decreased oxidative phosphorylation. This is mostly due to the role that biotin plays as a coenzyme in the reactions necessary for this process to happen. (Link)
Without sufficient biotin the body goes into a state of disarray. It is a necessary help molecule for the proper regulation and transportation of glucose in the body, and may play a role in the health of the hair, skin, and nails.
Sensolin: What You Get

Sensolin Benefits
We touched on the fact that Sensolin can help naturally regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the fluctuations that bring upon uncomfortable side effects. Let’s go deeper into all the Sensolin benefits you can take advantage of by incorporating this all-natural supplement into your daily regimen.
Regulates Hunger
Many sugar cravings result from an imbalance in blood sugar levels. When you eat sugary foods, your blood sugar levels jump, causing insulin to be released to reduce these sugar levels to a safer amount. Sometimes the insulin that is released is working too hard to reduce blood sugar levels. When they drop too low, your body will crave food – especially sugary foods – in order to boost those sugar levels again.
Sensolin’s ability to balance blood glucose levels can help minimize the amount of insulin that needs to be released to balance these levels. In turn, you can experience fewer hunger pangs and sugar cravings that you may experience as your blood glucose levels fluctuate.
Helps Manage a Healthy Weight
By keeping your appetite in check and minimizing sugar cravings and hunger pangs, you will be in a better position to manage your weight. Weight management is incredibly difficult – if not impossible – when you’re fighting against crave-worthy foods loaded with empty calories. But Sensolin’s ability to naturally regulate blood sugar levels can help you get a hold of your appetite and make the right dietary choices that are conducive to a healthier weight.
Increases Energy
When the body attempts to make too much insulin to bring blood sugar levels down, this can inevitably lead to a “sugar crash,” whereby you feel very tired and fatigued. You may have noticed that after a particularly sugary treat that you’re full of energy. But soon after, those energy levels quickly drop, causing you to feel fatigued.
Further, blood sugar levels that are either on the low or high end don’t send the proper amount of energy to the cells in order for the body to function properly.
With Sensolin’s sugar-regulating properties, you can avoid those dreaded mid-afternoon crashes that are typical of a high-sugar diet. Instead, you can experience more energy that can be sustained throughout the day.
Boosts Mental Clarity
High sugar intake can lead to a resistance to insulin, which is a crucial hormone involved in controlling blood sugar levels and regulating brain cell function. Insulin helps to strengthen the connections between brain cells and therefore allows for better communication between them. But when insulin sensitivity is impaired, these synaptic communications are impaired, which can lead to brain fog.
By improving insulin sensitivity, the communication between brain cells can be improved. And since Sensolin has been formulated to help improve insulin sensitivity, it can also foster more mental clarity and combat brain fog.
Does Sensolin Actually Work?
Yes, absolutely! Sensolin works, and hundreds of consumers who have used it in the past and continue to use it have touted its benefits. Thanks to the hand-picked, potent ingredients included in perfect levels and combinations, Sensolin has the natural ability to regulate your blood sugar levels and cut out all the pesky symptoms that typically come along with it.
With each meal including Sensolin, you can quickly and naturally improve your insulin sensitivity. You do this by taking advantage of powerful ingredients in ideal doses to specifically target blood sugar fluctuations.

Sensolin FAQ
Everybody is different, so sometimes what works for most people may not work as well for you.
Particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you may have some challenges when you add a potent supplement to your regimen.
If you are taking a prescription drug, we strongly recommend that you consult your prescribing medical professional before introducing a new supplement.
We can’t tell you how a drug might interact with a supplement, beyond saying that sometimes the drug or your underlying condition contraindicate the use of one or more ingredients in a supplement, and it’s important to consult your prescribing physician to make sure everything will work well together to support your health.
Another thing to consider is your overall sensitivity to foods and supplements, as well as your body weight. If you know you’re quite sensitive or you are petite, start out slowly with a lower dose and work up to our recommended serving size, paying attention to how you feel, and dial it back if you find that your body isn’t tolerating the ‘whole enchilada’ – maybe you’re happiest with half an enchilada.
Know that efficacy is proven at the recommended serving size, but again, that’s a general rule and you may still be able to experience the benefits with a lower dose!
Our Suggested Use instructions call for 1 capsule, 3 times per day with meals.
This works very well for the vast majority of our customers. However, if you’re one of the few who have the following concerns, you might try a lower dose and see how that goes, rather than jumping in at the full serving size.
Digestive Issues
The ingredients inside of Sensolin are extremely potent. Making sure to take them with food is going to be crucial in order to mitigate any possible digestive issues that could come from taking the supplement on an empty stomach.
