Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a health food effective for blood sugar management. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, blood sugar-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are rapidly increasing due to unbalanced eating habits and lack of exercise, and the importance of health management is being emphasized accordingly.

[0003] Blood sugar control is essential for diabetic patients, and it is also important for the general public to maintain their health by minimizing blood sugar fluctuations.

[0004] Existing methods for controlling blood sugar include medication, diet, and exercise, but medication carries a risk of side effects, and dietary control and exercise alone have limitations, so complementary methods are required.

[0005] Accordingly, health foods utilizing naturally derived ingredients are gaining popularity as blood sugar control aids, and there is increasing demand for products equipped with functions such as improving insulin sensitivity, regulating blood sugar absorption, and boosting metabolism.

[0006] However, existing health foods have limitations, such as containing only certain functional ingredients or failing to maximize synergistic effects between ingredients due to the inefficiency of the mixing process.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to combine scientifically verified ingredients in optimal proportions and develop a manufacturing method that can maximize the blood sugar control effect, thereby enabling the provision of a more stable and effective blood sugar management solution. The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention provides a health food effective for blood sugar management and a method for manufacturing the same. means of solving the problem

[0009] A method for manufacturing a health food effective for blood sugar management comprises the steps of: preparing a banaba leaf extract powder containing 70% banaba leaf extract and 30% indigestible maltodextrin; preparing White Brows F90 containing 100% chicory root extract; preparing a corn silk extract powder containing 70% corn silk extract and 30% indigestible maltodextrin; preparing a five-food mixed extract powder containing 70% food mixed extract of honeysuckle, turmeric, motherwort, citric acid, and hemp seeds and 30% indigestible maltodextrin; preparing a mixed composition containing green tea extract powder, 27-fruit and vegetable mixed powder, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and 22-fruit mixed lactic acid bacteria; and uniformly mixing the ingredients prepared in the above steps to manufacture a health food effective for blood sugar management.

[0010] The step of manufacturing a health food effective for blood sugar management by uniformly mixing the ingredients prepared in the above step includes the step of including the banaba leaf extract powder in a ratio of 5 to 20 weight%, the step of including the White Brows F90 in a ratio of 3 to 15 weight%, the step of including the corn silk extract powder in a ratio of 5 to 20 weight%, the step of including the 5-type food mixed extract powder in a ratio of 3 to 10 weight%, the step of including the green tea extract powder in a ratio of 2 to 10 weight%, the step of including the 27-type fruit and vegetable mixed powder in a ratio of 5 to 20 weight%, and the step of including the 22-type mixed lactic acid bacteria in a ratio of 1 to 5 weight%.

[0011] The step of manufacturing a health food effective for blood sugar management by uniformly mixing the ingredients prepared in the above step comprises: mixing using a high-speed mixer or a fluidized bed mixer to maintain humidity in the range of 30–50% so that the ingredients are uniformly dispersed; adding silicon dioxide (SiO₂) at a ratio of 0.5–2 weight% to improve the fluidity of the health food and ensure uniform density when filling tablets or capsules; processing the health food into the form of a tablet, capsule, granule, or powder; when manufacturing tablets, forming them to a constant density through a press forming process and including magnesium stearate at a ratio of 0.2–1 weight% to improve the durability and fluidity of the tablets; when processing into a capsule form, filling them using a hard capsule or soft gel capsule method and adjusting to ensure a precise amount of powder is filled into each capsule; and ensuring the long-term storage stability of the finished health food. It includes the step of applying a humidity-resistant coating or an enteric coating, and the step of performing micro-homogenization tests, moisture content analysis, dissolution tests, microbial contamination tests, and active ingredient content analysis (HPLC, LC-MS, etc.) for product quality control. Effects of the invention

[0012] According to the present invention, the blood sugar control effect can be maximized by combining scientifically verified ingredients, such as banaba leaf extract powder, White Brows F90 (chicory root extract), corn silk extract powder, 5 types of food mixed extract powder, green tea extract powder, 27 types of fruit and vegetable mixed powder, and lactic acid bacteria, in optimal proportions.

[0013] In addition, this composition is effective for the prevention and management of diabetes by helping to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate blood glucose absorption, and optimize metabolic balance in the body.

[0014] In addition, by applying high-speed mixing and precision processing technologies to maintain the stability of active ingredients and secure optimal bioavailability, it enables consumers to manage their blood sugar safely and effectively. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0031] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the process of manufacturing a health food effective for blood sugar management according to an embodiment.

[0032] First, in step S101, banaba leaf extract powder can be prepared.

[0033] Specifically, Banaba leaf contains corosolic acid, which has excellent blood sugar-lowering effects, and is a widely used ingredient in functional foods related to type 2 diabetes and blood sugar control. Corosolic acid improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar, which helps absorb glucose and promotes the intracellular storage of sugar.

[0034] To manufacture banaba leaf extract powder, banaba leaves must first be harvested, and then subjected to a precise washing process to remove residual impurities.

[0035] After washing, the banaba leaves are dried at 40 to 60°C to prevent the active ingredients from being denatured at high temperatures.

[0036] Dried banaba leaves undergo a grinding process, after which advanced technologies such as Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) or Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) can be utilized for efficient component extraction. Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction effectively breaks down cell walls through ultrasonic vibrations, facilitating the extraction of corosolic acid and other active ingredients at higher yields. A mixture of water and ethanol is most commonly used as the extraction solvent, a method designed to maximize the solubility of corosolic acid.

[0037] The extracted solution undergoes filtration and concentration steps to remove the solvent and increase the concentration of active ingredients. Since the extracted banaba leaf extract is difficult to powder using only the pure extract, 30% resistant maltodextrin is added to process it into a stable powder form. Resistant maltodextrin is slowly digested in the body and can mitigate blood sugar spikes, making it suitable as a functional ingredient.

[0038] Afterward, fine powder is manufactured by applying a spray drying or freeze drying method, and during this process, the temperature is maintained at 60°C or lower to prevent loss of active ingredients.

[0039] The manufactured banaba leaf extract powder has a uniformly controlled particle size, and the drying condition is continuously monitored to maintain a moisture content of 5% or less.

[0040] This ensures that quality is maintained even during long-term storage. The main functions of banaba leaf extract powder are to lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, and regulate the absorption of sugar in the body. For this reason, banaba leaf extract powder can be utilized as an important functional ingredient for consumers who require blood sugar control, and it is necessary to ensure product consistency by maintaining a constant weight ratio during the manufacturing process of the mixture.

[0041] In step S102, you can prepare White Brows F90.

[0042] Specifically, Whitebrows F90 is an ingredient composed of 100% chicory root extract, and its main functional component is inulin. Inulin is a type of dietary fiber that is not digested in the body and acts as a prebiotic to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. In addition, inulin has the function of inhibiting a rapid rise in blood sugar levels, which is due to its action of delaying the absorption of sugar in the stomach and regulating the gradual absorption of glucose in the intestines.

[0043] The first step in the manufacturing process of White Brows F90 is the sorting and washing of the chicory roots. Since chicory roots grow in soil, there is a high possibility that external contaminants (e.g., soil, microorganisms, pesticides) are attached; therefore, high-pressure washing and ozone sterilization washing must be applied during the washing process to thoroughly remove these sources of contamination.

[0044] Afterward, a drying process is performed, generally by hot air drying at a temperature of 50 to 70°C to control the moisture content to 10% or less.

[0045] After grinding the dried chicory roots, an extraction process is performed. To maintain an inulin content of 40% or more, water or ethanol is used as a solvent to optimize the extraction concentration. Since inulin is a relatively water-soluble component, the active ingredient is extracted using a low-temperature leaching method at a temperature of 40 to 60°C.

[0046] After extraction, the solution undergoes filtration and concentration processes, and is processed into a fine powder by freeze-drying or spray-drying. Finally, the particle size of the powder is adjusted to a range of 50 to 300 μm to ensure uniform distribution within the mixture.

[0047] In addition to its blood sugar regulating effects, the inulin contained in White Brows F90 can improve digestive health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and strengthen immunity. Furthermore, since inulin increases satiety, it can also serve as a functional aid for dieting. Therefore, White Brows F90 acts as an important ingredient capable of performing multifaceted health management functions, such as blood sugar control, improved gut health, weight control, and enhanced immunity.

[0048] In step S103, corn silk extract powder can be prepared.

[0049] Specifically, corn silk has traditionally been used to promote diuresis and alleviate edema, and recent studies have also reported its effects on blood sugar regulation and antioxidant activity. In particular, corn silk is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, β-sitosterol, and alkaloids, which can help lower blood sugar and boost metabolism. Furthermore, corn silk promotes the filtration function of the kidneys to aid in the elimination of waste products from the body and plays a role in maintaining stable blood pressure.

[0050] To effectively preserve and utilize these functional components, the process of manufacturing corn silk extract powder includes steps such as precise raw material selection, washing, drying, extraction, concentration, and powdering.

[0051] First, to secure high-quality corn silk, we select organic or pesticide-free raw materials that have passed pesticide residue tests.

[0052] Subsequently, ultrasonic cleaning and ozone sterilization cleaning processes are applied to remove foreign substances and contaminants attached to the raw materials. Through these processes, fine foreign substances and microorganisms are removed, optimizing the hygienic condition of the raw materials.

[0053] After washing, a drying process is performed. Generally, low-temperature hot air drying is carried out at a temperature of 40 to 60°C, and the drying time may take about 12 to 24 hours. It is important to manage the low-temperature drying process to prevent the denaturation of the active ingredients in corn silk.

[0054] The dried raw material is ground to a uniform size, after which the extraction process is carried out. During the extraction process, a double extraction technique may be applied to separate the water-soluble and fat-soluble active ingredients contained in corn silk as effectively as possible. Generally, water is used in the first extraction to separate water-soluble components such as flavonoids, saponins, and polyphenols, while ethanol or supercritical carbon dioxide is utilized in the second extraction to extract fat-soluble components such as beta-sitosterol. The temperature during the extraction process is controlled within the range of 50–70°C, and the extraction time is set to approximately 6–12 hours.

[0055] After extraction is complete, impurities are removed through centrifugation or filtration, followed by a concentration process. During the concentration process, the solvent is evaporated at 40–60°C using a vacuum concentrator to optimize the concentration of the active ingredient. Subsequently, 30% indigestible maltodextrin is added to process the extract into a powder form.

[0056] This helps ensure that the active ingredients are uniformly distributed during the pulverization process and controls hygroscopicity to enhance storage stability. Finally, fine powder is produced through a spray drying or freeze drying process, at which time the particle size is uniformly adjusted to 50–200 μm so that the ingredients can be evenly distributed when mixed.

[0057] The finally manufactured corn silk extract powder can be used as a functional ingredient possessing simultaneous diuretic, blood pressure regulating, blood sugar elevation inhibition, and antioxidant effects, and a consistent weight ratio is maintained during the preparation of mixtures to ensure stable blending. Produced through such a scientific and systematic manufacturing process, the corn silk extract powder can function as a key ingredient supporting not only blood sugar management but also overall metabolic health.

[0058] In step S104, a 5-type food mixed extract powder can be prepared.

[0059] Specifically, the 5-food mixed extract powder contains extracts of honeysuckle (honeysuckle flower buds), turmeric (curcumin), motherwort, citrus peel (immature tangerine peel), and hemp seeds, and each component performs various functions such as blood sugar control, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, improvement of blood circulation, and promotion of metabolism.

[0060] Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) has traditionally been used as a medicinal herb with excellent antibacterial and antiviral properties. Recent studies have revealed that it is rich in flavonoids such as quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and luteolin, exhibiting excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These components of honeysuckle may help regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.

[0061] Curcuma longa is a type of turmeric, and its main functional component, curcumin, exhibits powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Curcumin plays a role in stably regulating blood sugar levels and improving insulin resistance, while also providing protective effects for liver function. Leonurus japonicus promotes blood circulation and stabilizes blood pressure, and has traditionally been used to improve cardiovascular health.

[0062] Leonurus contains an alkaloid component called leonurine, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and can also have a positive effect on blood sugar control.

[0063] Aurantii Fructus Immaturus is obtained from immature tangerine peels and contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, limonene, and hesperidin, which are useful for promoting digestion and regulating blood sugar. The components of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus promote sugar metabolism and inhibit the rise in blood sugar, and also play a role in improving metabolism through antioxidant action.

[0064] Hemp seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, providing anti-inflammatory effects and blood sugar stabilization functions. In particular, they are rich in protein and dietary fiber, which can help prevent rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Hemp seeds also contain arginine and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), making them a functional ingredient capable of simultaneously regulating blood pressure and blood sugar.

[0065] The process of manufacturing the 5-food mixed extract powder must apply a customized process that takes into account the characteristics of the individual raw materials.

[0066] First, each raw material is thoroughly washed to remove fine impurities and residual pesticides. Subsequently, the raw materials are low-temperature dried at 40–60°C to ensure that the active ingredients are preserved without denaturation. The dried raw materials are then ground into appropriate particle sizes, after which the extraction process is carried out individually. Honeysuckle and Leonurus japonicus are extracted by maceration using water or ethanol as a solvent at 50–70°C for 6–12 hours; this method is designed to effectively secure both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. Since the curcumin component of Turmeric is fat-soluble, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is utilized to isolate high-purity functional components. As Citrus aurantium is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, it is extracted through a vacuum concentration process at 50–60°C to minimize the loss of active ingredients. Hemp seeds are processed into powder form by effectively preserving omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids using mechanical cold pressing or supercritical CO₂ extraction, after which the remaining fiber is ground.

[0067] After individual extraction and concentration of each component are completed, a process is required to adjust the mixing ratio to formulate a combination that provides optimal blood sugar management. Finally, 30% indigestible maltodextrin is added to stably powder the five-food mixed extract powder; this serves to protect active ingredients and regulate hygroscopicity to extend the shelf life. Subsequently, the powder is manufactured using spray drying or freeze drying methods, and the particle size is uniformly adjusted to a range of 50–300 μm to maintain a uniform distribution during mixing. The manufactured five-food mixed extract powder can be utilized as a multifunctional health ingredient capable of performing various functions, such as blood sugar control, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, metabolism promotion, and cardiovascular health improvement.

[0068] The five-food mixed extract powder, with optimized extraction methods and combination ratios for each component, not only helps manage blood sugar but can also be utilized as a functional health food for maintaining long-term health and improving metabolic function. Additionally, to control the quality of the mixture, the moisture content is maintained at 5% or less, and a small amount of antioxidants may be added to prevent oxidation during storage. The five-food mixed extract powder produced in this way can ultimately be used as a health food or processed into tablet or capsule form to be provided to consumers for easy consumption.

[0069] In step S105, a mixed composition comprising green tea extract powder, 27 types of fruit and vegetable mixed powder, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and 22 types of mixed lactic acid bacteria can be prepared.

[0070] Specifically, the mixed composition may include green tea extract powder, a mixed powder of 27 types of fruits and vegetables, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), magnesium stearate, and a mixed lactic acid bacterium of 22 types. In this case, each component performs a different function and plays a mutually complementary role within the mixed composition.

[0071] First, Green Tea Extract Powder is manufactured by adjusting the catechin content to over 30% to enhance body fat reduction and antioxidant effects. Catechin, the main functional component of Green Tea Extract Powder, plays a role in suppressing blood sugar spikes and can aid in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar management by increasing insulin sensitivity. Catechin also contributes to body fat reduction by regulating lipid metabolism, and through its powerful antioxidant action, it prevents the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body and provides cell protection. To manufacture Green Tea Extract Powder, green tea leaves are extracted at a low temperature of 30–60°C to prevent damage to key components. Subsequently, after undergoing filtration and concentration steps, the powder is processed into a fine powder using spray drying or freeze drying methods. The manufactured powder undergoes moisture control to ensure uniform particle size, and storage stability is enhanced by adding anti-humidity agents and protecting the moisture-sensitive catechin component.

[0072] Mixed Fruits and Vegetables Extract Powder is included as a functional ingredient that helps regulate blood sugar and maintain overall health by providing polyphenols and various antioxidant components. This mixed powder consists of extracts from a total of 27 fruits and vegetables, including apples, blueberries, cranberries, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, beets, grapes, tangerines, lemons, and spinach; in particular, it maximizes antioxidant effects by controlling the polyphenol content to over 10%. Polyphenols play a role in improving vascular endothelial function, regulating sugar absorption, and suppressing inflammatory responses. Additionally, containing various vitamins and minerals, it can activate metabolism and contribute to energy production within the body. In the manufacturing process of the Mixed Fruits and Vegetables Extract Powder, each raw material is individually washed, dried at a temperature of 50–60°C, and extracted using low-temperature extraction to protect the active ingredients. Subsequently, the mixture is concentrated through centrifugation and filtration, and finally freeze-dried to produce a mixed powder with fine particle sizes.

[0073] Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) plays a role in facilitating uniform mixing during the manufacturing process by maintaining the stability of the mixture and improving the fluidity of the powder. As a naturally occurring inorganic compound with excellent hygroscopic properties, silicon dioxide absorbs moisture during the long-term storage of powder mixtures, thereby preventing the deterioration of the ingredients. Additionally, it prevents aggregation during the solidification process and maintains the homogeneity of the mixture. Silicon dioxide used as a food additive is manufactured as an ultrafine powder of nanometer (nm) size, ensuring optimal dispersibility by maintaining a consistent particle size.

[0074] Magnesium stearate plays a role in improving the compressibility and fluidity of mixed compositions and is an ingredient that performs an important function when processed into tablet or capsule forms. As a widely used lubricant in food and pharmaceuticals, magnesium stearate prevents powder from sticking to machine surfaces during tablet manufacturing and helps ensure the even distribution of raw materials during capsule filling. Additionally, due to the inclusion of magnesium, it supports nerve and muscle functions and may contribute to metabolic regulation.

[0075] The 22-strain Probiotic Blend is a functional microorganism that supports gut health and contributes to blood sugar regulation. Probiotics play a role in reducing insulin resistance by regulating sugar absorption in the small intestine and improving the balance of intestinal microorganisms. This composition contains various beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Enterococcus, and is blended in optimal proportions to maximize the functionality of each strain. During the manufacturing process, the microbial culture is freeze-dried to maintain the number of viable bacteria, and an acid-resistant coating is applied to enhance storage stability. This ensures that the probiotics remain stable until they reach the intestines.

[0076] In addition, once green tea extract powder, a mixed powder of 27 types of fruits and vegetables, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), magnesium stearate, and a mixed 22 types of lactic acid bacteria are prepared, each component is uniformly mixed in optimal proportions to maximize the effects of blood sugar management and overall health improvement. At this stage, a high-speed mixer is used to uniformly mix all components, and humidity is maintained at 30–50% or lower during mixing to minimize alteration of functional ingredients. Furthermore, to verify the uniformity of the mixture, mixed samples are collected and analyzed at regular intervals, and the content of key active ingredients (catechins, polyphenols, probiotics, etc.) is quantitatively evaluated through HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The mixed composition undergoes a pretreatment process to be finally sealed in powder form or processed into tablets or capsules.

[0077] In this way, by producing a mixed composition through a manufacturing process that considers the characteristics of each component, it is possible to manufacture a multifunctional health food that maximizes blood sugar control effects and provides overall support for antioxidant and metabolic health.

[0078] In step S106, the ingredients prepared in the above step can be uniformly mixed to manufacture a health food effective for blood sugar management.

[0079] Specifically, a process is performed to manufacture a health food effective for blood sugar management by combining a previously prepared mixture of banaba leaf extract powder, White Brows F90 (chicory root extract), corn silk extract powder, 5 types of food mixed extract powder, green tea extract powder, 27 types of fruit and vegetable mixed powder, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and 22 types of mixed lactic acid bacteria in an optimal ratio and mixing them uniformly.

[0080] The first step of the mixing process is to adjust the proportion of each ingredient. Each raw material must be combined in an optimal ratio to maximize interactions while maintaining the content of functional ingredients. For example, Banaba leaf extract powder is blended in the range of 5–20% to maintain the corosolic acid content above a certain level, thereby maximizing the blood sugar control effect. Additionally, White Brows F90 is blended in a ratio of 3–15%, with the inulin content adjusted to over 40% to promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria while inhibiting blood sugar elevation. Corn silk extract powder is included in a ratio of 5–20% to provide diuretic and blood sugar stabilization functions. The mixed five-food extract powder is adjusted within the range of 3–10%, ensuring that each plant-based ingredient (honeysuckle, turmeric, motherwort, Citrus aurantium, and hemp seeds) performs functions that improve blood sugar control and metabolic health.

[0081] During the mixing process, precise mixing techniques must be applied to ensure that all components are uniformly dispersed. To achieve this, a high-speed mixer or a fluidized bed mixer is used to ensure that all raw materials are evenly mixed. It is important to properly control humidity and temperature during this process; humidity must be maintained within the range of 30–50% to prevent functional components from absorbing moisture and deteriorating. Additionally, to prevent powder agglomeration that may occur during mixing, silicon dioxide (SiO₂) is added at a ratio of 0.5–2% to improve fluidity and ensure that the mixture maintains consistent homogeneity.

[0082] After uniform mixing is achieved, a process to process the product into a final form is carried out. The processing form is determined based on consumer preference and convenience, such as tablets, capsules, granules, or powder. When manufactured as tablets, the mixed powder is press-formed to form tablets of a consistent density, and magnesium stearate is included at a ratio of 0.2–1% to maintain the durability of the tablets. When processed into capsules, they are filled using a hard capsule or soft gel capsule method, and a high-speed capsule filler is used to ensure that a precise amount of powder is consistently filled into the capsules. When manufactured as granules, the mixed raw materials undergo a wet granulation or dry granulation process by spraying to finely granulate them; this serves to improve the fluidity and solubility of the powder.

[0083] A coating process may also be performed to maintain the quality of manufactured health foods. For example, a humidity-resistant coating can be applied to the surface of tablets to prevent hygroscopicity and maintain the stability of active ingredients. Additionally, in the case of capsules, an enteric coating may be added to regulate the release of active ingredients in the small intestine.

[0084] After the final product is completed, a quality inspection step is included. Quality inspection encompasses micro-homogenization testing, moisture content analysis, dissolution testing, microbial contamination testing, and active ingredient content analysis (HPLC, LC-MS, etc.), which verify whether the product meets specific quality standards. Micro-homogenization testing evaluates whether the mixed ingredients are uniformly distributed, while moisture content analysis ensures the long-term storage stability of the product. Dissolution testing assesses whether the active ingredient is properly released during digestion and plays a crucial role in optimizing bioavailability.

[0085] The finished product undergoes an appropriate packaging process before final shipment. Packaging is generally performed in the form of individual press-through packages (PTP) or bottle packaging, and may be stored with aluminum foil or silica gel to protect against external moisture and oxidation. The product is stored at a temperature of 15–25°C and a relative humidity of 30–60%, and nitrogen flushing may be applied to extend the shelf life.

[0086] In this way, by uniformly mixing ingredients while considering their functional characteristics and applying optimal processing and quality control procedures, a health food effective for blood sugar management can be ultimately manufactured. The final product is a health functional food capable of performing functions such as blood sugar control, improvement of gut health, antioxidant effects, and reduction of body fat, thereby providing a solution for promoting consumer health.

[0087] The health food product effective for blood sugar management, manufactured through this process, maximizes blood sugar control by combining scientifically verified ingredients in optimal proportions, such as banaba leaf extract powder, White Brows F90 (chicory root extract), corn silk extract powder, 5-food mixed extract powder, green tea extract powder, 27-fruit and vegetable mixed powder, and probiotics. This composition is effective for the prevention and management of diabetes by helping to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate blood sugar absorption, and optimize metabolic balance within the body.
