Diabetes Supplement

Studies have shown that supplements like chromium, alpha lipoic acid & vanadium
plays an important role in the management of diabetes

Optimum Diabetics is scientifically formulated supplement to
provide nutritional support for people with diabetes.

Each supplement includes a complete, full-potency
formulation of vitamins, minerals and standardized herbal
extracts.

If you are not taking a proper balanced diet, Optimum Diabetics Health Supplement
provides the nutrients that you may be missing.

It contains chromium, alpha lipoic acid, evening primrose oil,vanadium & herbs like
fenugreek.

Chromium:

Increases insulin receptor numbers & insulin binding to cells.
Increases insulin efficiency - so lower amount of insulin is required in presence
of chromium.
Reduction in blood sugar & improvement in insulin sensitivity with chromium
results in decrease risk for diabetes complications.

Vanadium:

Trace mineral required by the body in small quantities.
Vanadium has insulin-like effects in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
It may improve glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Alpha lipoic acid:

Powerful antioxidant.
High blood sugar in diabetes causes increase free radical formation in body,
which leads to complications of diabetes like atherosclerosis, heart problems,
nerve damage & cataract.
Alpha lipoic acid (antioxidant) decreases free radicals in body & decreases the
risk of complications.
Also maintain blood glucose metabolism

Diabetes is associated with low concentrations of chromium in blood, so, an
early, long-term addition of chromium to the standard therapy has been
recommended in several studies. Some latest clinical reports also support the
safety and therapeutic value of chromium supplementation for the management
of high cholesterol and sugar in subjects with diabetes.

A clinical study published
in Diabetes Care. (2006
Aug) has shown that
chromium supplementation
in subjects with type 2
diabetes significantly
improves insulin sensitivity
and glucose control.
Chromium
supplementation also
reduced body weight gain
and fat accumulation.(1)

A latest review article published in Diabetes Technol Ther. 2006 December has
mentioned that 13 of 15 clinical studies involving a total of 1,690 subjects
reported significant improvement at least one outcome of glycemic control.
(Glycemic control is a medical term used for blood sugar levels in a person with
diabetes mellitus) Beneficial effects of chromium supplementation included
reduced blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels and reduced
requirements for drugs for diabetes.(2)

Reduction in blood sugar & improvement in insulin sensitivity with chromium
results in decrease risk for diabetes complications.

Diabetic health supplement

There are number of publications confirming beneficial effect of lipoic acid in
therapy of many diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, degenerative
processes in neurons, diseases of joints,

A recent clinical study on diabetic patients treated with alpha lipoic acid was
published in ‘hormones (Athens). 2006 Oct-Dec 5(4)’. The result of the study
has proved that short-term oral alpha-lipoic acid treatment increases peripheral
insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.(3)

Improvement in insulin sensitivity could improve both blood sugar control and
cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Peripheral insulin sensitivity gives an idea about how body cells respond to
insulin. In diabetes, because of decrease response to insulin by body cells,
blood sugar cannot enter into cells causing high blood glucose.

It also enhances glucose uptake by cells in type 2 (adult onset or non-insulin-
dependent) diabetes. Alpha lipoic acid improves diabetic nerve damage and
reduces pain associated with that nerve damage.
