So you’re a diabetic looking for a safe and effective supplement, and are tired of going through the constant cycle of looking, researching, and testing. You’ve tried multiple supplements that just don’t seem like the right fit.
In this article, I did the research for you on the Cera Care blood sugar formula for diabetes. We’ll be going over:
● What is diabetes?
● What is Cera Care?
● Ingredients in Cera Care
● How it works
● Benefits and drawbacks of Cera Care
● Is it safe?
● Cera Care’s cost and refund policy
● An alternative to Cera Care

All in all, this is going to be a very comprehensive CeraCare review.
You might be wondering what qualifies me to talk about a diabetes supplement. So, before we start, I’d like to introduce myself. Hi.
I’m Igor.
I’m the proud CEO and owner of Fitness Solutions Plus, as well as a personal trainer with many diabetic clients whose diabetes my team and I help reverse. I am also the author of 7 books on fitness and nutrition, including the amazon bestseller Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Secrets, and High Blood Pressure Reversal Secrets.
Okay, enough about me. Let’s jump right in.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a health condition where your blood sugar/glucose levels are too high, due to your body (specifically your pancreas), being unable to make enough insulin (that’s type 1 diabetes) or being unable to use the insulin it produces properly, otherwise known as insulin resistance (that’s type 2 diabetes).
Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas that provides blood sugar support by lowering blood sugar when it’s high. So it helps control and maintain the amount of glucose/blood sugar in your bloodstream.
Many people with diabetes have high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol levels.
There are many supplements, such as CeraCare, that claim to have many health benefits and are meant to help lower blood sugar levels in addition to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
These supplements (in general, no Ceracare in particular) can also help lower blood pressure levels, as well as help improve your mental health, since having diabetes can be causing you more stress, depression, etc.
The normal range for a persons’ random blood sugar level (that doesn’t have diabetes) is less than 140 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/l for my non-American readers (when they’re not fasted), whereas for a person with prediabetes, the range is from 140 and 199 mg/dL (or 7.8-11.1 mmol/l). If it’s more than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours it suggests/implies diabetes. The CeraCare formula claims to lower blood sugar levels in attempt to help you get back to normal. Since having high blood sugar levels can lead to high cholesterol, the CeraCare diabetes supplements also claims to support healthy cholesterol levels.
What is Cera Care?
Cera Care is supposedly an all natural dietary supplement for diabetes with various different natural ingredients (which we’ll talk about in a later section) that are said to support blood sugar. It comes in the form of a capsule. Each bottle of Cera Care contains 30 capsules, one (up to 2 capsules) for each day.
On their website, they say that CeraCare helps treat diabetes by improving blood health, and supporting/lowering blood sugar. They also say it helps improve physical health, as it supposedly helps increase “vitality and energy levels”. Note that the CeraCare reviews on their website are only positive, and they only talk about the specific ingredients in the supplement, so it is quite possible they are fake.
Ingredients in Cera Care
There are a variety of ingredients in the Ceracare formula that we’ll look at, including vitamins, minerals, and a blend of plant and fruit extracts.
Vitamin C
There are 50 mg in Cera Care.
Multiple studies showed that vitamin C doesn’t have a very pronounced effect on healthy glucose metabolism. The few studies that showed an effect used a dose of 1000 mg or more. Compared to that, 50 mg is practically nothing and is unlikely to have any effect on HbA1C levels.
Vitamin E
There are 15 mg of vitamin E in Cera Care.
Vitamin E if one of 4 fat soluble vitamins (they are vitamins A, D, E and K). Most studies on vitamin E show no improvements in blood sugar. The few studies that did show effects used doses much higher than what’s in the Cera Care supplement. Their doses ranged from 6 mg/kg/day (that’s 900 mg for a 70-kg or 154-pound person), up to 1800 mg/day. So compared to these, yet again, vitamin E is unlikely to have a significant effect on HbA1C.
Biotin
There are 300 mcg of biotin in Cera Care.
In one study, biotin was combined with chromium. The combination of the two lowered HbA1C by 0.54% on average, but 1.76% in people who had an HbA1C of over 10%. However, the dose of biotin used in that study was 2000 mcg. So compared to that, the 300 mcg in Cera Care is next to nothing and most likely won’t have a very significant effect on HbA1C.
Chromium
There are 76 mcg of chromium in Cera Care.
In this meta analysis, chromium had no effect on blood sugar levels. Another meta analysis showed a small effect of chromium on blood sugar levels (0.33% reduction). But even there, the doses were above 200 mcg, so compared to that, 76 mcg won’t do much.
Magnesium
There are 125 mg of magnesium in Cera Care.
According to lots of studies, it doesn’t decrease blood sugar levels at all, so who knows if it has any effect when combined with the other ingredients.
Zinc, Manganese, and Vanadium
In Cera Care, there are 7.5 mg of zinc, 1 mg of manganese, and 200 mcg of vanadium. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no research on how these ingredients affect blood sugar levels.
Proprietary blend
The last thing in Cera Care is a proprietary blend of guggul, bitter melon, licorice root, cinnamon, gymnema, alpha lipoic acid, banaba leaf, yarrow, juniper berry, white mulberry, L-Taurine, and cayenne.
However, there a few problems with proprietary blends:
● You don’t know how much of each individual ingredient is in the blend
● Most of the ingredients in the blend have no research behind them. In this proprietary blend those are guggul, bitter melon, licorice root, banaba leaf, yarrow, juniper berry, white mulberry, taurine and cayenne.
● Those that do have research (like cinnamon, gymnema, and alpha lipoic acid) use doses of over 500 mg. We know that in the Ceracare diabetes supplement, it’s much lower because everything combined is only 415 mg. How much of that is made up of actual effective ingredients? We don’t know.
How Does Cera Care Work?
Most supplements that help with diabetes have a few anti diabetic properties:
● Decreasing absorption of carbohydrates by the small intestine
● Improving glucose absorption by the muscles, heart, etc.
● Improving glucose utilization (how much glucose is burned/used by the muscles/liver)
● Increasing insulin secretion
● Reducing sugar cravings (which can also help reduce obesity related metabolic stressors
and maybe even help you lose weight)
We don’t know exactly which of these mechanisms Cera Care uses, nor how effective they really are.
Benefits & Drawbacks Of Cera Care
Benefits:
● It might work to improve blood sugar control, blood vessel function, and other markers of metabolic health.
● Some people say it works
● Cera Care is approved by the FDA
● Said to include organic ingredients only
● Has a 60-day, 100% money-back guarantee
Drawbacks:
● There are some potential risks (I talk about them in the next section)
● Quite expensive
● Can only be purchased online
Is Cera Care Safe?
Overall, it is clear that there is a lack of information on many of the ingredients, as there is no clinical research on how safe they really are, nor how they interact with other ingredients and medications.
Additionally, from the studies and meta-analyses we talked about, none of the ingredients have a legitimate significant effect on HbA1C, and due to a lack of research and/or clinical trials, we don’t know how they work/interact with each other nor how safe they really are.
In theory, the general risks of blood sugar-lowering supplements are blood thinning, and dangerously low levels of blood sugar.
If you’re on medications that lower high blood sugar levels, and you take supplements that also lower blood sugar too, it can reduce your blood sugar levels too much, which can lead to hypoglycemia, along with all of its symptoms – dizziness, confusion, fatigue, etc. So, the ultimate answer to whether or not Cera Care is safe is that we don’t know.
Cera Care’s Cost & Refund Policy
Cera Care is pretty expensive, the lowest price for a bottle being $61, but only if you buy multiple bottles at once. Here are the costs depending on how many you buy:
● 1 bottle – $86 + shipping
● 3 bottles – $221 + shipping (free U.S shipping)
● 6 bottles – $367 + shipping (free U.S shipping)
On the other hand, Cera Care has a 60-day return policy/money-back guarantee, CeraCare reviews also show that it is a great deal, and gives you more than enough time, considering one bottle is good for 30 days (since it contains 30 capsules).
An Alternative to Cera Care
In closing, there is an inadequate amount of research on the ingredients in Cera Care as well as how they interact. Due to this, using the supplement can be risky, and could have negative effects. Of course, the decision of whether or not using Ceracare capsules will actually decrease blood sugar levels. The lack of research also shows that using using the Ceracare supplements can be risky, and could have negative effects. Of course, the decision of whether or not you accept the risks and use the supplement is yours. If yes, that’s your choice.
If you choose not to, in my diabetes book, I talk about 4 natural dietary supplements that lower HbA1C by 1% or more. They have much more research on them, and are cheaper, safer, and more effective alternatives to Cera Care that help lower and/or regulate glucose levels. Milk thistle is one of the 4, and in one meta-analysis, it lowered HbA1C levels by 1.07%. It did this by improving insulin sensitivity, which can result in lowered and/or regulated healthy fasting serum glucose levels.
