Glucose, or blood sugar, is a source of energy that must be tightly regulated—and that's easier said than done for some of us. Whether it's genetics, lifestyle choices, or other factors that get in the way, glucose management can be difficult, and that's where vitamins and supplements come into play.

NOW Foods has a variety of vitamins and supplements to help you manage your glucose levels—here are just a few key products:

• ChromeMate: NOW Foods has a few different products that will help increase the balance of chromium, an essential trace mineral that supports healthy levels of blood glucose and the proper utilization of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. One of these products is ChromeMate, which works with insulin to support blood glucose levels, and, according to NOW, "provides greater biological activity" than other chromium supplements. 
• GlucoFit: This dietary ingredient has been shown to support healthy glucose metabolism thanks to its active component, corosolic acid. In addition to being an antidiabetic, corosolic acid is also an anti-inflammatory, which can be beneficial for individuals with arthritis. 
• Glucose Metabolic Support: In addition to the aforementioned GlucoFit, Glucose Metabolic Support includes an extract from the gymnema sylvestre herb, which herbalists have used to aid glucose metabolism for centuries. Native to tropical forests in sourthern India and Sri Lanka, gymnema sylvestre is a natural solution that will help you manage your sugar levels.
