Diabetics have a higher requirement for certain nutrients because of the increased excretion of water soluble vitamins, minerals, and poor dietary habits. The purpose of formulating DIABETIC SUPPORT FORMULA is to provide the best amount of each nutrient based on the needs of a diabetic individual (based on the published nutritional research data). The goal is to prevent, delay, or in some cases reverse the harmful effects of diabetes and improve the quality of life for diabetics.
The following changes have been documented to be beneficial to diabetics:
- Decreasing the oxidative stress
- Induce appropriate response to low oxygen levels in the blood and tissue (regenerating capillaries).
- Improving the lipid profile (decrease triglycerides, VLDL, LDL and increase HDL levels)
- Increasing the integrity of the blood vessels.
- Improve the rheology of the red blood cells and preventing oxygen deficiency in the tissues.
Some beneficial effects are listed below:
- Alpha-lipoic acid (aLA) to reduce oxidative damage.
- Proanthocyanidins such as grape seed-skin extract.
- Vitamin E, to protect prostacyclin.
- Vitamin C, another effective antioxidant.
- Coenzyme Q10, to boost the immune system and aid the cardiovascular system.
- L-Carnitine, an important nutrient in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and improving fat metabolism.
- L-acetyl Cysteine, which acts as an antioxidant, may prevent liver diseases, and can help to thicken the individual diameters of existing hair if taken regularly.
- Borage seed oil containing gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which promotes the release of prostacyclin, nourishing nerves, and regenerating capillaries.
- Vanadium, because it mimics the effects of insulin (Type II diabetics should be aware of possible reduction in medication).
- Niacin, to dilate peripheral blood vessels and reduce cholesterol levels.
- Chromium, to enhance cellular absorption.
- Magnesium, deficiencies of which cause severe vascular damage and neuropathy
- Catechins, to protect the DNA from damage.
- Nettles Leaf, to reduce inflammation.
- The other water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals to provide complete metabolic support the body.
