Author(s): Xuesheng Han* and Gregory L. Snow
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1, a human hormone) drugs have unwanted side effects and limitations. One alternative is to utilize medicinal plants to boost endogenous secretion of GLP-1. GLP-1 Booster (GB) contains green tea leaf extract, Gardeniae fructus extract, Turmeric root extract, Black pepper extract, Fenugreek seed extract, Ginseng root extract and White kidney bean extract. A total of ten overweight adult humans completed a 12-week study. In 12 weeks participants saw significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (from 89.8 to 82 mg/dL, p <0.001), insulin (from 43.2 to 36.1 pmol/L, p <0.001), HbA1c (from 5.33% to 5.13%, p <0.01), total cholesterol (166.4 vs 141.0 mg/dL, p <0.001), Systolic Pressure (p <0.001), Diastolic Pressure (p <0.05), Body Weight (171.29 vs 163.39 lbs, p <0.001), Body Fat Mass (42.26 vs 34.11lbs, p<0.001), Body Fat Percentage (25..
