Blood Sugar Breakthrough

Blood Sugar Breakthrough

A mix of germinated brown rice (GBR) and oyster mushroom flour significantly reduced fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance in aged, hyperglycemic rats, matching levels in healthy controls. The fiber and β-glucans in the mix improved glucose regulation and metabolic health, suggesting potential for diabetes management.
