Insulin is required to transport glucose from the bloodstream across the cell wall for fuel to provide energy to our cells.  As our body ages, our metabolism slows down, and many cells become less sensitive to Insulin or 'Insulin Resistant'.

'Insulin Resistance' causes our bodies to require more insulin to transport the glucose across the cell wall and increases lipid synthesis leading to Type II Diabetes. Insulin Resistance is also called Syndrome X and is associated with decreased energy (a sense of lethargy) and eventually obesity.

Luteolin is a potent blood sugar-reducing compound, capable of re-sensitizing our cells to insulin and enhancing the ability of insulin to transport glucose across the cell membrane, and may help to normalize blood glucose levels.
