1. Hypoglycemic mechanism: Modern pharmacological experiments have proved that flavonoids contained in tartary buckwheat can inhibit glycosidase activity, thus delaying the absorption of carbohydrates, lowering postprandial blood sugar and achieving the purpose of lowering blood sugar.
2. Hypolipidemic mechanism: Tartary buckwheat flavonoids can obviously activate the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α, promote lipid metabolism, and significantly reduce triglyceride level and cholesterol level, thus achieving the effect of hypolipidemic.
3. Hypotensive mechanism: Studies show that bioflavonoids such as rutin have a synergistic effect on vitamin C, that is, they reduce the fragility and permeability of capillaries. When the permeability and brittleness of the capillary wall increase, blood cells can enter the intercellular fluid through the capillary wall to maintain the stability of the capillary, thus achieving the effect of regulating blood pressure.

1, and the glucose in blood is called blood glucose (Glu). Glucose is an important part of human body and an important energy source. A normal human body needs a lot of sugar every day to provide energy and power for the normal operation of various tissues and organs.
2, so blood sugar must be maintained at a certain level to maintain the needs of various organs and tissues in the body. The production and utilization of blood sugar in normal people are in a state of dynamic balance and remain at a relatively stable level, because the sources and ways of blood sugar are roughly the same.
3. The sources of blood sugar include: ① food digestion and absorption; ② glycogen stored in the liver is decomposed; ③ Transformation of fat and protein. The ways of blood sugar include: ① oxidation to energy; ② Converted into glycogen and stored in liver, kidney and muscle; (3) It is converted into nutrients such as fat and protein for storage.
4. Islet is the main organ for regulating blood sugar concentration in the body, and liver stores glycogen. In addition, blood sugar concentration is also regulated by nerve and endocrine hormones.
