Vitamins To Take

Supplements to Heal Diabesity

We are overfed and undernourished. It may seem paradoxical that the most obese are also the most malnourished. It has been said that diabetes is starvation in the midst of plenty.  When sugar and vital nutrients to your health can’t get into your cells, metabolism slows and becomes sluggish.   Without this nutrition, cells don’t communicate as a finely tuned team and you feel sick and lousy.

Nutrients are an essential part of getting back into balance and correcting the core problem – insulin resistance, when cells become numb to the effects of insulin.  There are two ways in which these supplements work:

1. They make your cells more sensitive to insulin.
2. They increase your cells ability to metabolize sugar and fats.  Also, special fibers can slow the absorption of sugars and fats into the bloodstream leading to faster metabolism, more balanced blood sugars, improved cholesterol, less inflammation, less cravings, more weight loss, and more energy.

While I strongly discourage you from going off any medication without your doctor’s supervision, you can integrate the following in your regimen to help overcome diabesity.

(no fillers - no stearates - no titanium dioxide - read the ingredients - companies care about money - not you)

I take:

• A high-quality multi-vitamin and mineral.
• 1,000 to 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day with breakfast.
• 500 to 1,000 mg of omega-3 fats, (should contain a ratio of approximately 300/200 EPA/DHA), once with breakfast and once with dinner.(chia seeds, please. )
• 100 to 200 mg of magnesium, once with breakfast and once with dinner.
• 300 to 600 mg alpha lipoic acid a day, once with breakfast and once with dinner.
• 200 to 600 mcg chromium GTF day (up to 1,200 mcg a day can be helpful).
• 0.5 to 1 mg biotin, once with breakfast and once with dinner.
• 125 to 250 mg cinnamon, once with breakfast and once with dinner.
• 25 to 50 mg green tea catechins, once with breakfast and once with dinner.
• 2 to 5 grams of Acacia Powder or miracle fiber
• Gymnema 1 pill twice a day 150 mg
• Resverteral 400 mg 2 times a day
• CoQ10

Magnesium - for enzyme systems and PH balance. Magnesium deficiency is very common in diabetics and magnesium may prevent some of the complication of diabetes such as retinopathy and heart disease.

Vitamin B6 - as the vitamin B6 levels inside the cells of the body appear to be intricately linked to the magnesium content of the cell. In other words, without the vitamin B6, magnesium will not get inside the cell and will, therefore, be useless.

Manganese - helps repair the pancreas and is a co-factor in key enzymes of glucose metabolism. Diabetics have been shown to have only one-half the manganese of healthy individuals.

Vitamin C - helps maintain vascular health and strengthen the immune system. And since the transport of vitamin C is facilitated by insulin, many diabetics are deficient of this crucial vitamin.

Vitamin E - helps improve circulation and insulin action and helps prevent the long-term complications of the disease.

Zinc - zinc deficiency has been associated with diabetes.

Omega-3 - diabetics are generally deficient of essential fatty acids or have an imbalance. Omega-3 has been shown to lower triglycerides.

Vitamin B12 - is necessary in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy.

Coenzyme Q10 - stimulates the production of insulin.

Digestive Enzymes - especially helpful when the pancreas is not functioning optimally.

Chelation Therapy - effective in preventing complications association with diabetes.
