Specifically pertaining to the prevention and treatment of diabetes including diabetes mellitus, a number of Chinese herbs have served as a major source of medicines over the centuries.

Pharmacological and clinical evaluations indicated that the use of these herbs had a mild, but significant, blood glucose lowering effect and that the long-term use of these herbal ingredients may be advantageous over chemical drugs in alleviating some of the chronic diseases and complications caused by diabetes.

Among the many medicinal herbs approved by the Chinese health regulatory agency for commercial use in China, several herbs routinely prescribed in TCM come to mind.

The first is Dwarf Lilyturf Tuber, the dried root tuber of Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb) Ker-Gawl. Sweet and slightly bitter in taste as well as slightly cold in nature, this is one of the most potent herbal ingredients used to treat diabetes.

This herbal ingredient is found in established products such as Dia-kids and Betatrol, formulations from Bio Life Remedies designed to treat children with diabetes, and pre-diabetics and newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetics respectively.

Other potent anti-diabetic herbal ingredients include Mulberry Leaf and Atractylodes Rhizome, both of which are active ingredients in Zutrol, another of Bio Life Remedies’ product that can offer relief to those with serious diabetic-related complications.

Bio Life Remedies is one of a handful of online merchants with products that offer a modernized and convenient version of TCM-based treatment for diabetics.
