Diabetichron®

Diabetichron^®, with its wide array of effective nutrients, helps support healthy glucose metabolism in a number of ways. The individual effects of the ingredients in Diabetichron^® can be summarized as follows:

Banaba leaf extract (Lagerstroemia speciosa): Extracts like that of the banaba leaf help facilitate the healthy flow of sugar from the bloodstream into cells. In combination with plant extracts of bitter melon and gymnema sylvestre, which act to help reduce the absorption of sugar molecules from the intestines, the overall absorption of sugar is reduced and the utilization of sugar is optimized, resulting in maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels within normal ranges.

In order to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, especially in type 2 diabetes, the sensitivity of the insulin receptors must be preserved. Supplementing with chromium, especially in its most active biological form (chromium polynicotinate), has been shown to help promote the beneficial effects of insulin once it is deposited at the receptor site, while also supporting the functionality and efficiency of healthy insulin receptors.

L-carnitine: Healthy utilization of blood sugar in the body is necessary for healthy fat metabolism and utilization. L-carnitine supports healthy fat metabolism, while enzymes like lipases, proteases and amylases help support better digestion and utilization of nutrients; processes which are also supported by extracts of fennel or other plants rich in bioflavonoids.

Alpha lipoic acid: When blood sugar levels are not optimal, oxidative processes begin to produce large quantities of free radicals. Free radicals are the degenerative products of many metabolic processes and are highly reactive, causing general destruction of cells and tissue structures. For these reasons, adequate levels of antioxidants are an essential complement for anyone desiring to maintain healthy blood sugar levels already within normal ranges.

One of the most well-known antioxidants is alpha lipoic acid, which is frequently dubbed the «universal antioxidant» because of its ability to regenerate vitamin C and coenzyme Q10, two other important antioxidants.

Bilberry fruit extract: Bilberries contain special pigments called anthocyanins, which also act as antioxidants. Bilberry fruit extract provides anthocyanins to support healthy vision and help protect against eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration.

Vitamin C, vitamin E (as D-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate) and biotin (also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7) are three substances also known for their antioxidant effects. Biotin also plays a special role in supporting healthy metabolic processes, including the metabolism of fatty acids.

Magnesium: Numerous enzymes that are necessary for healthy blood sugar metabolism only function well if there are sufficient levels of magnesium in the body. Magnesium can also promote healthy insulin uptake, facilitating optimum flow of sugar into the cells.

Coral calcium^®: This ingredient helps to maintain optimal pH levels, encouraging greater absorption and utilization of active ingredients.

Fenugreek seed extract: One of the most interesting of Europe’s medicinal plants, fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) has been found to help slow the body’s absorption of glucose, protecting against sudden increases in blood sugar levels.
