The Nue Co. SUGAR STRESS

Why Sugar Stress?

A daily capsule, Sugar Stress is your secret weapon for fighting the sugar cravings induced by stressful situations (a totally natural bodily reaction since sugar can suppress the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal [HPA] axis in your brain, which controls your response to stress) while also simultaneously helping to reduce sugar cravings on a more long-term basis too.

When it comes to controlling cravings for all things sweet, Sugar Stress uses a three-pronged approach. Each capsule targets the body’s stress response with the inclusion of rhodiola, an adaptogen that helps to moderate your natural stress response. They also help stabilize blood glucose levels (meaning less wild ‘ups and downs’ in both your moods and cravings) using L-Glutamine and Co-Enzyme Q10. Finally, overall stress-induced sugar cravings are reduced using chromium, a mineral that supports normal blood sugar control and normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Good To Know: Stress is one of many things that can cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate, making the body crave a “regulating” sugar fix. SUGAR STRESS uses a blend of naturally-occurring minerals and amino acids to stabilize sugar levels, including chromium (part of a molecule called chromodulin), which supports insulin in the processing of carbs, fats and protein. It also aids the efficient transport of glucose (blood sugar) into cells to be used for energy. L-Glutamine (an essential amino acid used by the body to make protein) works alongside co-enzyme Q10 to help maintain blood glucose levels, and also reduces the production of firmicutes, a type of bacteria in the gut known to “crave” sugar.
