Key Nutrients to Support Blood Sugar Balance
It’s no wonder that in today’s fast-paced and under-nourished society, blood sugar imbalance is up there among the most common health problems affecting a large number of the UK population. Stress, alcohol, caffeine, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, sugary foods and drinks, and refined and processed foods all contribute to consistently elevated blood sugar levels. The key to bringing levels back into balance involves addressing each of these factors individually. In addition, supplementation with key supportive nutrients can provide added support.
Blood Sugar Support Nutrients
Chromium – A key constituent of glucose tolerance factor – a compound that works with insulin to support the cellular uptake of glucose. Studies have reported beneficial effects of chromium on post-meal blood glucose and insulin levels and on overall food intake and satiety too. In a 2008 study, chromium picolinate reduced food intake, hunger levels and fat cravings and tended to reduce body weight compared to placebo.
Alpha Lipoic Acid – A highly effective natural antioxidant with direct antioxidant activity and an ability to regenerate other antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin E and vitamin C. In a recent trial, oral supplementation with alpha lipoic acid was shown to improve insulin sensitivity in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Cinnamon – This culinary spice has a long history of traditional use in supporting blood sugar balance. In a 2012 trial, cinnamon demonstrated positive effects on glycaemic status, lipid profiles and body composition in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
