Now Foods GlucoFit 8% Corosolic Acid 60 Softgels

GlucoFit^® is a nutritional ingredient extracted from the herb Lagerstroemia speciosa. NOW's formulation is standardized to a corosolic acid concentration of 18%.

Corosolic acid is a natural triterpenoid, known by the chemical term 2 alpha-hydroxy ursolic acid. Triterpenoid glycosides appear to be well suited to help treat a wide range of health problems, with their antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cholesterol properties. Research studies suggest that corosolic acid supports healthy glucose metabolism. In addition, it appears to exhibit insulin-like glucose transport-inducing activity.

Corosolic acid is also found in other plants that grow from Asia to South America, and many of them are traditionally used to treat high cholesterol and diabetes. Lagerstroemia speciosa has, perhaps, the greatest concentration. NOW's Lagerstroemia speciosa is standardized at 18% concentration and guarantees all the effects of corosolic acid.

Corosolic acid is especially important because it means that a diabetic can stop taking GlucoFit for several days.^® without the fear of suffering an acute hypoglycemic episode.
