- Another study showed that methanol extract of root of Sophora flavescens Aiton and its active flavonoid antioxidants like Kuwarinone, Sophorafalvanone G, Kushenol K, and Kushenol N, inhibited SGLT2 by 99.7% in hSGLT2- COS1 cells (Sato et al., 2007)
- Furthermore, Qu and his groups demonstrated that 1 mg/ml concentration of ethanolic extract of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz) Baill. resulted in 89% of SGLT1 and 73% of SGLT2 inhibition in hSGLT1/2-COS-7 cells (Qu et al., 2015).

A very low cost method of suppressing sglt2 is the Chinese herb schisandra. All parts of the plant.

It looks to me like these herbal supplements have only been studied in vitro. And even if they do work, how do you determine a dose?
-
Karl bottle schisandra recommends 2 pills a day, or about one full teaspoon

Karl plant sources vary with sunlight, soil, etc. but aravedic and Chinese herb medicine have always been less exact than western drug companies, but in this sglt2 case, plants are vastly cheaper than sglt2 drug prices. That is the trade off.
However if you have a glucose test kit, you can monitor blood glucose before and after over several days, and then average to get a best dose and strength estimate
