Natural Diabetes Herbs | Yacon
Made from Peruvian Yacon, one of the "lost crops" of the ancient Incans. "Sugar Control" is the ideal product to control blood sugar levels. Yacon contains oligofructose, a dietary sugar which the human body does not metabolize, and is suitable for diabetics. Studies show that the unique oligofructose content of yacon has the effect of reducing the high glucose levels you have when eating sugary or starchy food.
Since only ethically harvested wildcrafted or organically grown natural diabetes herbs are used in our product, we can ensure you the freshest Yacon without fillers. Other companies may buy from a middle man that is selling stale or adulterated herbs without the vital energy found in fresh naturally grown Amazon herbs.

100% Pure Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) extracted in distilled water and 40% alcohol with natural flavor. Usage - 60 drops (2ml) twice a day or as required, under the tongue or to be added into water or juice.
Yacon is a plant from the Peruvian Andes and is often referred to as one of the “lost crops” of the ancient Incans. Three separate research groups have determined that consumption of extracts of Yacon have anti-diabetic properties and are especially useful in controlling blood sugar levels.7-9
