Hello,

Thanks for asking dLife.

From what I can tell on the Internet, Glucovert is a blend of herbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and undisclosed nutrients. The supplement manufacturer claims that it assists the body in promoting normal insulin function and supporting healthy blood sugar levels that are within a normal range.

What does that mean? If your blood glucose levels are already within the normal range, why take it!

There is no substitute for a healthful meal and exercise plan for controlling blood glucose.

Do keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary.

Always talk with your doctor before taking any supplements. There may be interactions with the medicines you are already taking.

Take care.
