Description
Blood Glucose Support is an excellent multi-mineral formula with added Ceylon cinnamon. The key active ingredients are chromium GTF, zinc, magnesium and cinnamon.
- Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and normal macronutrient (protein, fat, carbohydrate) metabolism
- When levels of chromium in the body, and therefore glucose tolerance factor (GTF), are too low, the activity of insulin is blocked; blood glucose levels therefore remain elevated
- Diets high in refined carbohydrates are usually low in zinc, so this mineral has been added to our Blood Glucose Support formulation
- Zinc has many roles in the body; of particular relevance here are its roles in contributing to carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis and protecting cells from oxidative stress
- Copper is combined with zinc to prevent a possible risk of copper deficiency during long-term usage as they compete for the same absorption sites
- Cinnamon has a history of traditional use throughout the world and there is now some research available
- This supplement uses pure, real Ceylon cinnamon with no detectable levels of coumarin
- This supplement also contains manganese and selenium. Manganese, selenium and zinc protect cells from oxidative stress. We have also included molybdenum within the formulation
- This supplement can also be used as a multi-mineral formula
