Description:
Blood Sugar Balance in a comprehensive blood glucose–regulating formula. The nutrients in Blood Sugar Balance fall into three related categories:
Substances found to exert an insulin-like effect or increase insulin receptivity;
Supplements which assist in the proper function of the pancreas (responsible for insulin production); and
Nutraceuticals for neuropathy support to protect from free-radical damage to nerves resulting from unregulated blood sugar levels.
Blood Sugar Balance aids in glucose metabolism and defends against the complications associated with diabetes (neuropathy, retinopathy, renal problems, high cholesterol, and hypertension). Blood Sugar Balance represents the state of the art in natural blood-glucose management.
The rate of diabetes in Canada is estimated to be 5% of the population and rising; there is no question that lifestyle habits and our environment are to blame. Our food supply, laden with high-glucose foods, contributes to the excessive stress we inflict on our pancreas in addition to other habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
Many people do not realize they have diabetes, nor do they seek medical advice until it has progressed to a serious stage. Early signs include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and excessive appetite; these symptoms should not be ignored. Genetic factors can play a major role in developing the disease, but as mentioned above, diet and lifestyle can also trigger actual development.
