Banaba leaves don't get as much attention as berberine or cinnamon, but the compound behind them — corosolic acid — plays a genuinely interesting role in glucose metabolism.
Corosolic acid is studied for its ability to enhance glucose uptake by cells, essentially helping glucose move from the bloodstream into cells more efficiently.
Banaba leaves have a long history of traditional use, and their antioxidant properties add a second layer of support alongside the glucose-uptake benefit.
Gluco Poise includes banaba leaves specifically for this cellular glucose-uptake support, complementing the formula's other insulin-focused ingredients.
