Low levels of Magnesium (Mg) and Vitamin B12 are extremely common in people with Type 2 Diabetes. These deficiencies can aggravate insulin resistance and contribute to heart risk, kidney damage, and nerve pain from diabetes. We include potent doses of both nutrients to replenish blood levels and minimize risk.

People who take Metformin are also more likely to experience vitamin B12 deficiency, specifically, due to malabsorption. We use methylcobalamin for our Vitamin B12 source, which is absorbed and used more efficiently by the body than cyanocobalamin, the more common form of vitamin B12 found in most supplements.

To help promote the health of these vital organs, we include milk thistle - an herb with anti-inflammatory properties. Milk thistle works to combat oxidative stress that can cause diabetic complications and pancreas damage. In addition to showing benefits for blood sugars, milk thistle has also been shown to promote healthy liver and kidney function in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. 

Retinopathy, or eye damage, is one of the serious risks of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. While there are various natural ingredients used for eye health (such as Lutein and Vitamin A), these are based on studies showing benefits in Age Related Macular Degeneration.... not diabetic retinopathy. Our new formulation includes Bilberry which has demonstrated effectiveness specifically in diabetic eye health and retinopathy.

Insulin resistance means that your pancreas is still able to produce insulin, but it is becoming less and less effective at removing sugar from the bloodstream. Without intervention, this insulin resistance can worsen until medications or insulin injections are needed. This powerful blend of Cinnamon, Banaba, Magnesium, and Chromium help naturally promote healthy insulin function and decrease insulin resistance.
