Medical Wellness GLYCEM X - To Control Blood Sugar
(MDW-GMC-F)
|
GLYCEM X is a powerful blend of minerals, biological extracts and natural supplements designed to help control the onset of diabetes and to effectively reduce the blood sugar levels of those classified as "diabetic".
|
Medical Wellness GLYCEM X contains significant amounts of key herbs such as Gymnema Sylvestre, and Banaba. Gymnema is an herb found in the tropical forests of India; studies have shown that Gymnema extract may stimulate the pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin in those with type 2 diabetes as well as improving their glucose tolerance. In Asia, Banaba leaf extract has been used for centuries as an aid for weight loss and blood sugar control, Banaba Leaf extract contains active levels of corosolic acid, clinically proven to activate cell glucose-transport and thus helping balance blood glucose levels.

| Ingredients in GLYCEM X act to: |
| |
 1) increase the sensitivity of the cellular receptor to insulin and reduce its resistance to insulin,
2) promote movement of sugar from the blood stream into the cell where it can be metabolized as energy, and
3) to help the pancreas to produce more insulin. These actions prevent the onset of diabetes and its secondary effects on major organ systems, as well as reduce the need for diabetic medication in those patients currently taking prescription medication.
GLYCEM X demonstrates its effective control of diabetes type 2 by its drop in blood sugar levels. Its unique combination of Chromium, Vandium, Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl Cysteine also help to support nutritional control of blood sugar levels.
Chromium is a nutritionally essential mineral that helps glucose metabolism by enhancing the effects of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate in the body. Chromium also influences fat and protein metabolism. Several studies have shown that chromium supplementation reduces blood sugar and insulin levels in Type I and Type II Diabetes patients.

Additional benefits:
Chromium supplementation also increases lean body mass and decreases body fat resulting in a reduction in body weight.
Chromium supplementation significantly reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and its transport protein, apolipoprotein B. Levels of HDL cholesterol and its transport protein, apolipoprotein A, were beneficially increased as well |
Vanadium plays a role in cellular metabolism and is believed to be a co-factor for a number of enzymatic processes. Studies have shown that Vanadium supplementation reduces insulin resistance and improves blood glucose balance in diabetic patients.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a potent lipophilic antioxidant, a factor in many multi-enzyme complexes as well as in glucose oxidation. Clinical studies have shown that supplementation with Alpha-Lipoic Acid inhibits nerve damage as well as diabetic neuropathy characteristic of diabetic patients. Alpha-Lipoic Acid also reduces insulin resistance as well as improving blood glucose balance in diabetic patients.
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radical damage in the body and improves insulin sensitivity. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) and Alpha-Lipoic Acid also enhance antioxidant power, protecting against the damaging effects of excess blood sugar.
