Background: AyurGold is a herbal
supplement derived from India's Ayurvedic Medicine
(also called
Ayurveda). Ayurvedic Medicine is recognized as a Complementary
and Alternative Medicine by the National Institutes of Health in the
United States. It is one of the oldest medical systems (estimated
to have originated 5,000 years ago). Nearly 80% of the population
in India (900 million people)
relies on Ayurveda exclusively or in
conjunction with Western medicine. That's more than the
populations of North America and South America combined!
Common Results Expected: AyurGold's proprietary
formulation contains 279
natural phytonutrients that exert 544
synergistic activities on your body. Many
of these phytonutrients
are widely recognized for their contribution to Blood Health: arginine,
ascorbic-acid, beta-carotene, beta-sitosterol, calcium, charantin,
choline, chromium, citric acid, conduritol-a, copper, curcumin,
ethylene, fiber, gymnemic acid, iodine, iron, lanosterol, linoleic
acid, lutein, lycopene, lysine, magnesium, manganese, niacin, oleic
acid, potassium, quercetin, riboflavin, rutin, selenium, thiamin,
tryptophan, ursolic acid, and zinc. For example:
- Chromium -
Taking chromium orally can decrease fasting blood glucose, insulin
levels, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and increase insulin
sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes (Lee NA, Reasner CA.
Beneficial effect of chromium supplementation on serum triglyceride
levels in NIDDM. Diabetes Care 1994;17:1449-52; Anderson RA, Cheng N,
Bryden NA, et al. Elevated intakes of supplemental chromium improve
glucose and insulin variables in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

al. Effect of chromium supplementation on blood glucose and lipid
levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus elderly patients. Int J Vitam Nutr

picolinate supplementation attenuates body weight gain and increases
insulin sensitivity in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Care
2006;29:1826-32).
- Magnesium -
Higher dietary magnesium intake is associated with lower fasting
insulin concentrations in adults and obese children and a reduced risk
of developing type 2 diabetes (Meyer KA, Kushi LH, Jacobs DR, et al.
Carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and incident type 2 diabetes in older
women. Am J Clin Nutr 2000;71:921-30; Song Y, Manson JE, Buring JE, Liu

risk of type 2 diabetes in women. Diabetes Care 2004;27:59-65; Fung TT,
Manson JE, Solomon CG, et al. The association between magnesium intake
and fasting insulin concentration in healthy middle-aged women. J Am
Coll Nutr 2003;22:533-8; Fung TT, Manson JE, Solomon CG, et al. The
association between magnesium intake and fasting insulin concentration

Wolk A. Magnesium intake and risk of type-2 diabetes: a meta-analysis.
J Intern Med 2007:262:208-14).
- Niacin -
Evidence suggests that Niacin might reserve beta-cell function in newly
diagnosed type 1 diabetes and might prolong the production of insulin
in newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes (Pozzilli P, Visalli N, Cavallo MG,
et al. Vitamin E and nicotinamide have similar effects in maintaining
residual beta cell function in recent onset insulin-dependent diabetes.

al. A multi-centre randomized trial of two different doses of
nicotinamide in patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes (the IMDIAB

Warning: Please be aware of the
following.
- Women should
not take AyurGold during pregnancy or lactation.
- AyurGold is
not intended
for use by persons under 18.
- Persons with
infertility problems should not take AyurGold.
- Bitter
Melon - can cause upset stomach. Bitter melon can lower blood
glucose levels and might have additive effects when used with
antidiabetes drugs: chlorpropamide
(Diabinese), glimepiride
(Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTabs, Micronase), insulin,
metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia),
and others. This
might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood
glucose levels closely. Use should be
discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical
procedures. People with
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are at risk for
developing favism after ingesting bitter melon seeds. Vicine found in
the seeds is related to constituents of fava beans.
- Turmeric - can
cause nausea and diarrhea. Turmeric has been
reported to have antiplatelet effects. Concomitant use of
Turmeric with anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs should be
avoided. These drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix),
dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine
(Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others. Use should be
discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical
procedures. Turmeric can cause gallbladder contractions and
should be used with caution in patients with gallstones or gallbladder
disease.
- Gymnema - can
enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of hypoglycemic drugs and
insulin. Blood glucose levels should be monitored closely. Use should be
discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical procedures.
- Jambolan - can lower blood
glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes
drugs like glimepiride
(Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin,
metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia),
and others.
This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor
blood glucose levels closely. Use should be
discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical procedures.
- Tribulus - can
enhance the blood glucose-lowering effects of hypoglycemic drugs like glimepiride
(Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTabs, Micronase), insulin,
metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia),
and others.
Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Use should be
discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical
procedures. Tribulus is thought to
have diuretic properties that might reduce excretion and increase
levels of lithium. Dosage of lithium might need to be decreased.
Tribulus might aggravate prostate conditions such as benign prostate
hypertrophy (BPH) or prostate cancer. Preliminary research
suggests that Tribulus can increase prostate weight.
- Holy Basil - has been reported to have
antiplatelet effects. Concomitant
use of Holy Basil with anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs should be
avoided. These drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix),
dalteparin
(Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid),
warfarin (Coumadin), and others. Use should be discontinued at
least 2
weeks before elective surgical procedures.
- Shatavari /
Red Saunders - have diuretic properties
that might reduce excretion and increase
levels of lithium. Dosage of lithium might need to be decreased.
- Neem -
might have hypoglycemic effects. Concomitant use with drugs that
decrease blood glucose levels might increase the risk of
hypoglycemia. Dosing adjustments for insulin or oral hypoglycemic
agents may be necessary. Oral hypoglycemic drugs include
glimepiride (Amaryl), glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide (DiaBeta,
Micronase), tolazamide (Tolinase), tolbutamide (Orinase), and
others. Use
should be discontinued at least 2 weeks before elective surgical
procedures. Theoretically, Neem might
decrease the effectiveness of immunosuppressants. Preliminary
research suggests Neem might have immunostimulant effects and might
counteract the effects of immunosuppressants. Immunosuppressant
drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect),
cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3
(OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506,
Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and
other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids). Neem has diuretic properties that
might reduce excretion and increase
levels of lithium. Dosage of lithium might need to be decreased.
Theoretically, Neem might have detrimental effects on male and female
fertility. It might cause an allergic response to sperm and
embryos. Other preliminary research suggests neem oil can cause
morphological changes in sperm, and neem leaf can adversely affect
sperm motility and viability. Avoid in couples with infertility.
- Allergic
Reactions - while the botanicals in AyurGold are considered
safe, there might be rare instances of allergic reaction. If you
experience any allergic reaction, please stop taking AyurGold
immediately to determine if it is the cause of the allergic reaction.

Time Frame: While Ayurvedic
Medicine does produce positive results in the short term, it typically
takes about 4 months for most benefits to be realized. We recommend you
try AyurGold for a period of 4 to 6 months to help promote healthy
fasting blood glucose and insulin levels. This time frame is
necessary to counteract
imbalances in your body that probably took 4 to 6 decades to transpire.
Optional: To get the best results
possible, we recommend that you participate in our Holistic
Healthcare
Program which is based on the approach
used by Ayurvedic doctors throughout India and regulated by India's
Food & Drug Administration. This healthcare approach works to
integrate
and balance the body, mind, and spirit to help prevent illness and
promote Wellness.
We recommend you adopt the customized guidance provided to you for the
long-term because your heath
depends on proper diet and lifestyle foremost. While supplements
can help to promote good health, diet and lifestyle play an integral
role in engendering health improvements.
