Best Natural Diabetes Supplements
NUTRITION AND DIGESTION
The primary source of energy for the human body is food. However, cells cannot make use of food in the form that it is ingested. The digestion process takes whole foods and breaks them down into components which the cells can easily absorb and use as energy. A crucial source of energy is glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar and is a component of many carbohydrates. Almost every food contains glucose in some form, including fruits, vegetables, proteins, and even sugar-free foods. Once sugar enters the body, it is usually converted to glucose, the form the body most readily uses as energy. The pancreas is alerted to the rush of sugar and produces a hormone, insulin, which directs the body in the absorption of glucose, using some as energy, storing some as fat, and getting rid of the rest. When one has diabetes, this function is compromised.
WHAT IS DIABETES?
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. In both forms, there is a problem with insulin production and glucose processing. Diabetes in any form cannot be cured once it has become a full-fledged condition. However, diabetes can be maintained. Careful diet, lifestyle changes, doctor’s care and key nutrients, as we will discuss further, can help keep diabetes under control.
WHAT’S INCLUDED, AND WHY:
Chlorella, an important component in Diabetter, is widely known as a superfood with several health benefits. Recently, three separate studies conducted in Korea, South Korea and Taiwan showed that chlorella also has properties that can help lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
Fenugreek Seed also has medicinal qualities and in recent years has been used to help control blood sugar. The seeds contain fiber and other chemicals which may slow digestion. This can help the body absorb carbohydrates and sugar. In one study, foods baked with fenugreek flour have helped reduce insulin resistance. Gymnema Sylvestre has similar qualities and also blocks the taste of sugar, reducing cravings.
Cinnamon is much more than a spice. One study had volunteers eat 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon for 40 days. (One gram of ground cinnamon is about half a teaspoon.) The researchers found that cinnamon cut cholesterol by about 18% and blood sugar levels by 24%.
Bitter Melon Research in Australia and other countries found four compounds in bitter melon that activate an enzyme responsible for carrying glucose from the blood into the cells.
Using only the purest natural ingredients Manufactured to the highest standards Diabetes can cause diuresis. Therefore, many diabetics are deficient in water-soluble vitamins like B vitamins. As such, it is important to ingest them on a regular basis. Furthermore, several B vitamins can have positive effects on the nervous system, which is often damaged as a result of diabetes. Other B vitamins aid in metabolism. Diabetter contains an important spectrum of these and other vitamins. Alpha Lipoic Acid, as well as the B vitamins, also address neuropathy caused by diabetes.
Other ingredients in Diabetter, such as CoQ10 and Chromium, also aid in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Manganese and Vanadium can make the body more sensitive to insulin, and therefore more receptive. Magnesium does both of these and can also help with nerve pain associated with diabetes. A diagnosis of Diabetes, whether type 1 or 2, is definitely life altering. By supplementing with the necessary nutrients, some to support a deficiency and others for their desirable qualities, one has a fighting chance in winning this battle and leading a long and productive life.
Inasmuch as diabetes is a medical condition which cannot be cured, the natural world has much to offer. Advanced Nutrition by Zahler’s unique formula, Diabetter, includes a blend of nutrients which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Since diabetes impacts the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream and glucose metabolism, the ingredients in Diabetter help promote and support healthy glucose levels.
