Doppelherz® Active Vitamins for Diabetics + Mulberry to support normal carbohydrate metabolism in diabetics
An optimal combination of 15 vitamins and minerals plus white mulberry leaf extract – developed specifically for diabetics, as well as for people who are on a weight loss regimen to supplement their diet.
It has been proven that people with diabetes often have reduced amounts of vitamins and minerals in the body . The need to follow a strict diet can additionally lead to an insufficient supply of valuable nutrients . People with diabetes experience increased formation of free radicals ( so-called oxidative stress ). This leads to the need for additional intake of antioxidants to protect cells. The immune system is also subjected to the toxic effect of excessively high blood sugar. Adding the very favorable environment for the development of bacteria (due to the high glucose in the blood and other body fluids), as well as vascular damage , it becomes clear that diabetics are more prone to infections compared to other people. The inability to use glucose for energy creates difficulties for tissues that depend on insulin, including muscle tissue, which can lead to an increased feeling of weakness and fatigue. Most B vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin C can help alleviate the latter.
Since some vitamins and mineral salts have a significant impact on carbohydrate and energy metabolism, it is advisable to supplement the diet with these substances.
Antidiabetic properties of white mulberry leaves (Morus alba)
The white mulberry , in Latin Morus alba, is a broad-leaved deciduous plant that originates from East Asia. The leaves of the plant are different - ovate in shape, but are found whole and divided into 3 to 5 lobes. In the chemical composition of the leaves, it is important to note the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin) and polysaccharides.
Doppelherz® Active Vitamins for Diabetics + Mulberry - how it works
Standardized white mulberry leaf extract contains substances that may block the breakdown of polysaccharides (such as starch or sucrose) to simple sugars (such as glucose). This allows some of the carbohydrates to remain undigested and unabsorbed, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Numerous clinical studies have investigated the health effects of white mulberry leaf extract. In the course of such studies, the following benefits of white mulberry leaf extract have been identified:
- Helps reduce blood sugar levels after meals by blocking the breakdown of polysaccharides in the intestine and the reabsorption of sugars 1,2,3
- Improves insulin sensitivity 4
- Antihyperuricemic effect (reduces uric acid levels, respectively - the risk of developing gout ) 5
- Hypolipidemic, vascular protective, hypotensive effect 6. Improves blood lipid levels , helps maintain normal blood pressure and protects against damage to blood vessels .
- Antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, anti-atherosclerotic, cardioprotective properties, which are due to the flavonoids contained in the extract 7 . Some of the most serious chronic complications of diabetes mellitus are associated with damage to large and medium-sized arteries from the atherosclerosis process . As a result, functions are impaired, especially of the brain and heart . White mulberry leaf extract could slow the development of these complications .
Chromium helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Zinc plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, and vitamin B6 in glycogen metabolism (including the uptake of glucose by cells). Glycogen is the reserve form of glucose in cells.
Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid have a positive effect on blood homocysteine levels, which is important for diabetics. Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis.
People with diabetes experience increased free radical formation (so-called oxidative stress). Zinc, selenium, vitamins C and E protect cells from the increased levels of oxidative stress typical of diabetes.
Vitamin B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B12, biotin, vitamin C and magnesium contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism in the body. Vitamin D supports the immune system.
One tablet per day covers the body's increased needs for vitamins and minerals.
