French Tarragon

Why You Need It

• Blood Sugar Regulation: Helps improve how your body processes glucose.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Reduces oxidative stress in the body.
• Digestive Aid: Traditionally used to stimulate appetite and soothe stomach upset.

Deep Dive

The primary active compound in Tarragon is a phytochemical called ocimene, along with other volatile oils. Research suggests that these compounds mimic the action of insulin by increasing glucose uptake into cells, effectively lowering blood sugar levels naturally. This makes it a powerful ally for those managing insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. Additionally, its bitter compounds stimulate bile production, aiding in the digestion of fats and maintaining a healthy gut environment.

Natural Food Sources

Tarragon is best consumed fresh or dried as a culinary herb. While it is not found in high quantities in standard food groups, it can be easily incorporated into meals.

Supplementation

Tarragon is available as a dietary supplement in the following forms:

• Dried Powder/Capsules: Standardized extracts are often used for blood sugar management.
• Tinctures: Liquid extracts for rapid absorption.

Note: Since Tarragon is a culinary herb, strict dosing is less critical than with concentrated supplements. However, for therapeutic use, follow product labeling specifically.
