Diabetes is a serious and dangerous disease, so do not perform any treatment without consulting your doctor. However, there are dietary supplements that can help cure or alleviate the symptoms of this disease.
Chromium is one of the trace elements necessary to maintain health. It is also helpful in diabetes. This element is present in medicinal preparations as chromium picolinate or chromium polynicotinate. Chrome is difficult to supplement by providing it in food, but several supplements containing this element are available. Chrome participates in the management of insulin and maintenance of the proper level of glucose in the blood. According to Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics, taking 200 micrograms of chromium picolinate three times a day can improve insulin sensitivity, lower cholesterol and triglycerides and lower the requirements for hypoglycaemic agents.
Cinnamon is known for its ability to lower blood sugar levels. Cinnamon also improves insulin sensitivity. According to a study conducted at the Western University of Health Sciences, the supply of cinnamon as part of food causes a decrease in plasma glucose concentration and a decrease in the level of “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides. The same cinnamon affects the increase in the level of “good” cholesterol. To experience the therapeutic properties of cinnamon, just add a teaspoon of powder to your meals during the day. You can also use concentrated cinnamon oil, adding a few drops of tea.
Fish oil can help relieve diabetes by raising HDL cholesterol and lowering triglyceride levels. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the proper functioning of insulin, and also prevent insulin intolerance and have anti-inflammatory properties. The therapeutic dose of fish oil is 1000 milligrams a day. OMEGA+++ is an excellent source of fatty acids derived from fish oil.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that participates in the processing of glucose into fuel for the body. It effectively improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy: weakness, pain and numbness. Alpha-lipoic acid is produced in the body and can also be supplied in food (broccoli, spinach, tomatoes). However, to achieve a therapeutic effect, larger amounts are needed that can be delivered through the use of supplements.
Bitter melon extract helps reduce blood sugar levels and regulates insulin management. Studies confirm that bitter melon, used in the form of extract, can help reduce the symptoms of diabetes and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications, protects the kidneys and prevents eye disorders and hormonal abnormalities.
The recommended dose of LAMININE in diabetes and hyperglycaemia is 1-3 capsules in light ailments and 4-6 capsules in severe ailments.
