The Claim
Daily supplementation with 5g of TOTUM-63 for 8 weeks in adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk (BMI 31.3±4.1 kg/m², fasting glucose 5.5±0.4 mmol/L) resulted in a statistically significant reduction in HbA1c from 5.5% to 5.3% (p=0.005).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk, taking 5 grams of TOTUM-63 daily for 8 weeks lowered HbA1c from 5.5% to 5.3%.
See the scientific wording
In a group of 19 adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk (BMI 31.3±4.1 kg/m², fasting glucose 5.5±0.4 mmol/L), daily supplementation with 5g of TOTUM-63 for 8 weeks was followed by a statistically significant reduction in HbA1c from 5.5% to 5.3% (p=0.005), suggesting a potential association between this polyphenol-rich supplement and improved long-term glucose control in this population.
Plant compounds in the supplement feed beneficial gut bacteria, which produce substances that strengthen the gut lining and reduce inflammation. This allows the gut to release hormones that signal the pancreas to release more insulin and the liver to make less sugar, leading to lower average blood sugar levels over time.
What the research says
1 studyIn a small study, people with prediabetes and extra weight took a plant-based supplement every day for two months, and their average blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1c) went down a little—but it was a real change, not just luck. This suggests the supplement might help control blood sugar.
