To support the benefits above, Curalin contains a blend of nine plant extracts, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients linked to blood sugar control.

Here are all of the active ingredients in Curalin and how they work, according to Curalife:

Turmeric: Turmeric is one of the most important ingredients in Curalin. Many people – including diabetics – take turmeric daily for blood sugar control. Turmeric could help with blood sugar by targeting inflammation. Diabetics tend to have higher levels of inflammation in their bodies than non-diabetics. Turmeric is packed with natural antioxidants like curcumin that could help support healthy inflammation throughout the body, protecting you from free radicals.

Picrorhiza Kurroa: Picrorhiza kurroa is a plant extract with a long history of use in traditional medicine throughout the Himalayan Mountains, where it grows naturally. Today, we know Picrorhiza kurroa works by supporting healthy fasting blood glucose levels and promoting healthy insulin sensitivity. The plant extract also has antioxidant properties, supports a healthy inflammation response, and protects overall health, among other benefits. It’s also been shown to support the health of two of the largest organs within the body, including the liver and spleen.

Amla: Amla like Picrorhiza kurroa, has been used in traditional medicine in parts of India for centuries. Today, we know it works in a similar way to turmeric, containing natural antioxidants to support healthy blood sugar. Amla is rich with an active molecule called tannoid thatsupports the function of your pancreas cells. By taking amla daily, studies show you can support healthy fasting blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon Extract: Cinnamon is one of the best-known ingredients for health, wellness, and blood sugar control. It’s been shown to promote healthy glucose absorption and metabolism, help with insulin release, and promote healthy levels of gluconeogenesis, among other benefits. You can also take cinnamon daily for weight loss, cholesterol, and nervous system health. Curalife cites studies showing cinnamon can support a healthy nervous system, help with weight loss, and promote healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The active ingredient in cinnamon is cinnamtannin B1.

Swertia Chirayita: Swertia chirayita is a medicinal flower. In the wild, it has a distinctive purple and blue color. Historically used in traditional medicine, Swertia chirayita can support the healthy release of insulin from the pancreas while helping your digestive system absorb glucose from the food you eat, both of which can balance blood sugar naturally. In fact, many diabetics take Swertia chirayita daily for blood sugar management. Today, we know Swertia chirayita works because it promotes the activity of DPP4 and GLP1 enzymes – both of which are known for regulating the secretion of insulin. By targeting these enzymes, Swertia chirayita can play a powerful role on blood sugar management.

Bitter Melon: Bitter melon, also known as Momordica charantia, is a tropical fruit grown around the world. The fruit is naturally bitter, but it has a long history of use in traditional medicine practices worldwide. Today, bitter melon is best-known for being a natural way to support healthy blood sugar levels, and many take bitter melon daily for blood sugar balance and overall health. With 300mg of bitter melon in each two capsule serving of Curalin, bitter melon is the largest ingredient in the supplement by weight.

Gymnema Sylvestre: Gymnema sylvestre is native to India and Africa and, like bitter melon, has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Some diabetics take gymnema sylvestre daily to fight sugar cravings and lower high blood sugar. Others use it as a gentle stimulant, helping topromote energy and overall vitality. Some even take it for weight loss, cholesterol, and other specific effects. A 2007studydescribed gymnema sylvestre as “a potent antidiabetic plant” with a long history of use in folk, ayurvedic, and homeopathic medicine.

Fenugreek: Fenugreek is popular in diabetes supplements and hormone balance formulas. Some diabetics take fenugreek seed extract daily to slow the absorption of carbs and sugar, helping to balance blood sugar after a meal. In fact, one 2017studyfound taking 10mg of fenugreek per day had a synergistic effect on diet control and high blood sugar, helping diabetics manage insulin and fasting blood sugar.

Syzygium Cumini: Also known as Java plum or Malabar plum, Syzygium cumini is a fruit that comes from an evergreen tropical tree. The extract of the fruit has been traditionally used to help with colds, coughs, fevers, rashes, skin problems, and general health issues. It’s popular in traditional Indonesian medicine. Although little-known even in the supplement space, Java plum is rising in popularity for its purported effects on blood sugar and inflammation. These effects likely come from the natural antioxidants within the plum.
