DIABETIC
SUPPORT FORMULA
(Formulated By: Dr. Hengameh Allen)
DESCRIPTION
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)
• Increased the integrity of the blood vessels.
• Improve the rheology of the red blood cells and
preventing tissue hypoxia (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.
