LES Labs Insulin Health Metabolic Health & Support Supplement, 60 Capsules

Just received my first bottle, and am going to start using it immediately. It was packaged and shipped very well, the bottle seal was intact. I will update my review after taking this for awhile. I'm in great hopes that this formula will enable me to get off of diabetic medicines, so far i have been on four different ones that I cannot tolerate and my doctor has no more suggestions. Am also doing research into the condition, I am in my late 60's and just diagnosed with diabetes to my surprise. It does not "run in my family", and I would like to know just why I have developed this desease. So far it seems to be heading into the way I was brought up to eat, and all the advise given to the public over ther years as to how and what they should eat, along with the "additives" that have been used, along with the sedentary lifestyle that comes with years of office work. Looks to be interesting. Update: October 25, 2018 I started taking this in March.This product has more than met my expectations, I have brought my dosage of prescribed diabetes drug down to one-half dose every third day, along with taking the Insulin Health every day, and have done away with the majority of side effects from the drug - glimeriride, and keeping my glucose readings just about the same., well within tolerance. I have noted that my appetite has been reduced greatly, I am eating one smaller serving, especially at dinner time, rather than a bigger serving and sometimes "seconds". Just too full feeling to eat any more and just don't want it. That has been a pleasant "side effect" that I wasn't expecting. I'm intending to continue with this and hoping to do away with the glimerperide altogether, also tried taking the metformin with disasterous results. Since I have very limited resources, i.e. social security benefits, I am unable to eat as healthy as I would like, which I think would also help, so I am doubly glad to have found something oher than prescription drugs to take. I started the Insulin Health 3 times a day for about three weeks, then cut it back to 2 times a day which seems to be working for me just fine. As noted before, I have a terrible time with drugs, so this is a lifesaver for me. I dont have any connection with the company, I am just really happy they are making this.

I've had some ongoing issues with sleep (insomnia, waking mid-night, exhaustion yet unable to sleep), stubborn weight (despite healthy eating and exercise) and high-stress levels. I have a history of diabetes that runs in my family and was hoping to support my body in this area before it became a major problem. After doing some research I decided to try some herbal support and after searching for a variety of supplements I settled on this one. To be fair, I also ordered two other supplements from the same company (cortisol health and thyroid support) and began taking them at the same time. I take the Cortisol health (along with Iodine and probiotics) at night and the insulin and thyroid support in the morning (along with some extra Vit. D and magnesium.) Because I started several new products at one time I have a difficult time attributing anything miraculous to just one, however, after about a month of taking this I can say a few things: -After one night of adding the Cortisol health to my nightly routine, I had the best sleep I've gotten in years. Between the three mixes, I find that I sleep longer, deeper, wake more rested and feel more energy through the day. -Since adding the three LES Labs mixes (Cortisol, Insulin, and Thyroid) I lost 7 lbs, a triumph after 4 months of intentional healthy eating and exercise with no results. -I generally take it once a day before either breakfast or lunch. I feel as though my blood sugar levels are more stable. I'm considering taking it before each meal (the serving suggestion is 1-3 times a day) to see if that has any noticeable benefit. -My sister said that she notices an appetite suppressant effect when taken before meals. In summary, I do highly recommend this supplement as a piece of the puzzle of health. Most people with insulin resistance also have issues elsewhere (cortisol and thyroid among others). It helps to understand how these issues are connected and address them as a whole. Unless you're a type 1 Diabetic, insulin health is greatly impacted by diet and exercise. This won't replace that. However, I did find that my body needed a little extra support and with that, the healthy lifestyle I was living worked a lot better. These aren't the type of issues that go away overnight or even with one bottle. It took years for my body to get off balance and I expect it will be a journey back to full health, but this product is part of that for me.

So I gained so much weight as over the course of the whole pandemic era. I was working out so hard and for some reason got stuck at 190 lbs. I starting taking these supplements and I was back to losing weight again. Nothing awe inspiring but the number was moving. I am currently 184 lbs. I am pre-diabetic, over 44 years old and obese. I have of course, added moderate exercise, and watch what I eat, nothing too restrictive. However, it does seem to curve my insatiable appetite. I crave bread and sugar like oxygen and it eliminates that for me. It also help with my mood. I would say give it a try. Ask your doctor of course, but give it a try.

Really want to use it more, but I'm really feeling like it's working to help me lose weight. I'm 41 yrs old and can't lose weight even though I'm eating right, and exercising 6 days a week for over a year and a half now. I've lost maybe 20lbs. My thoughts are that its insulin resistance, as I've had blood tests and other things without any issues. But I have an autoimmune disease and can't tell if its related or not. But I feel like it's helping but I'm afraid to weigh myself. Its been 2 weeks and feel like my stomach fat is already reducing. Fingers crossed. I've been doing 3x a day as well along with Cortisol health as well. I'll update after at least a full month or 2. Update: I stopped using this supplement and the cortisol health as they did nothing for weight, as previously hoped. First, I can't see spending this much on it. I was taking it for 2 months but didn't see much difference. I did find my blood sugar wasn't dropping as it usually did when hungry. I felt slightly less hungry as well. But not enough positives to justify spending $60 a month for. I REALLY wanted this to work but it didn't do much.

Great product

My doctor recently gave me Metaformin and told me to start monitoring my blood glucose levels. Despite radically changing my diet and adding exercise to my routine, the Metaformin seemed to not really have any great effect on my blood glucose levels. It continued to be high despite my best efforts for weeks. Then, I ordered Insulin Health, hoping that it would be a more natural approach to helping me manage my blood glucose. OMG!! I could see the results in my levels on the first day! My blood glucose came down a good 20 points from before and I could easily tell it was working! I have opted to take it three times a day and at this time I am seriously thinking about dropping the Metaformin altogether. Why take what doesn't work and, besides, has bad side effects? I was also experiencing Dawn Phenomenon where my blood glucose was higher (sometimes by 20 points) than it was before I went to bed. I have dealt with this by taking my last capsule of Insulin Health right before I go to bed along with a stick of low-fat string cheese. Insulin Health is great because it doesn't have to be taken with food so I don't have a sour stomach when I wake up... And my blood glucose is now within about 5 points of where I left off at night. Very nice! Your results may vary and it all depends on a lot of factors. All I can say is, it is working for me and it is at least worth a try!

The ingredients in this product—Chromium, Berberine, and ALA—are known to assist in balancing hormones and improving the body’s response to insulin when it’s secreted from the pancreas after eating. I was taking each of those supplements separately, but then I did a search to streamline some of my various daily supplements and discovered this LES Labs product combined all 3. I’m now able to combat two health issues with one product: weight gain + acne. I’ve lost 25lbs since Jan 27, 2018 and finally corrected my acne from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) just by controlling my insulin & DHT levels. Elevated insulin/blood-sugar raises estrogen, testosterone, androgens, and DHT to unhealthy levels, which can lead to acne breakouts. Once that connection was made clear to me by an Endocrinologist, correcting my body’s response to insulin immediately remedied all my PCOS symptoms (weight-gain, acne, scalp hair-loss, facial hair growth, body inflammation). I highly recommend Insulin Health to anyone who has cystic acne and/or difficulty losing weight/breaking a plateau even when eating healthy & routinely working-out. Research Chromium, Berberine, ALA, & Olive Leaf extract yourself to fully understand their benefits for the aforementioned issues. It’ll change your health for the better. *Update* Oct 2018: I’ve lost 45lbs total since Jan 27, 2018 and my skin is still clear. After my brother and sister-in-law noticed the changes in my face & body, it motivated them to each start taking this supplement (both are stubborn when it comes to believing a vitamin can actually make a difference in a person’s health). They’ve each lost weight so far and the Berberine is also helping the inflammation in my brother’s knee joints. This brand is working wonders, even on my most skeptical family members.

I used this supplement in conjunction with the LES labs cortisol health supplement for adrenal support, stress relief, and balanced cortisol response. I believe I was suffering from extreme adrenal fatigue based on research and the cluster of symptoms I was experiencing. One of those symptoms was weight gain, primarily in the belly area. This was the first time in my life that I had ever gained weight in that area (I am quite pear shaped and generally gain weight in my hips, buttocks, and thighs) so I thought perhaps I was having issues with insulin spikes related to my adrenal fatigue and using this supplement in conjunction with LES labs cortisol health supplement, I was able (with a few dietary modifications and exercise) to lose the belly fat. After taking this supplement, I stopped reaching for donuts and bagels in the morning and drinking cup after cup of coffee to get through the days. In addition to quelling my carb and sugar cravings, I feel it had a strong positive impact on my mood and energy levels as well! I would absolutely recommend this product! Also, in case anybody was wondering, I was never diagnosed with anything as I saw two doctors and they basically blew me off and said "diet and exercise" (duh) and an antidepressant (no thanks) were the answer. So I would encourage anybody who feels that their primary physician doesn't express concern regarding your symptoms, to be proactive about your own health and do your research! My research led me to this supplement and I am sooo thankful that it did!
