GlucoTrust Reviews: Negative Customer Complaints
Insulin, a hormone prepared by the alpha cells of Langerhans in the pancreas, is responsible for maintaining the blood glucose level. When you eat carbs, your digestive system breaks down the food and converts the starch into glucose. After glucose is released in the ileum (small intestine), it gets absorbed into the bloodstream. It remains in the blood as glucose is the main source of energy.
Your body utilizes glucose molecules and ensures energy production through cellular respiration. The excess glucose is converted into glycogen and stored in the hepatic and muscular cells. The insulin hormone acts as a catalyst. When your body is deficient in glucose, glucagon, a hormone secreted by the beta cells of Langerhans, will convert the stored glycogen into glucose.
