Multi-Guard® Control has been formulated specially to help
the body maintain a more even balance of its energy reserves between
meals.
The formula provides 26 nutrients at relevant levels including, per
daily dose, 200µg of GTF chromium which is probably the better known
of all the blood sugar (glucose) control nutrients. Lamberts
have included 300mg of magnesium since it is a component of many
enzymes involved in the breakdown of blood sugar and acts as a
‘secondary messenger’ for the activity of insulin at the cellular
membrane level.
There is also 150mg of alpha lipoic acid as research has shown it
can activate the insulin signalling cascade in cells, thus having
implications for blood sugar control. Indeed studies in individuals
with blood sugar imbalance have demonstrated that alpha lipoic acid
may improve glucose uptake by enhancing insulin sensitivity.
Studies have confirmed that cinnamon has a positive effect on
glucose metabolism in individuals with blood sugar imbalance. Tests
on cinnamon have indicated that it may work by helping to activate
the insulin receptor, increasing insulin sensitivity. In one study
of subjects with blood sugar imbalance, cinnamon lowered levels of
LDL and total cholesterol as well as blood sugar levels. This
suggests that cinnamon may additionally hold promise for helping to
reduce the risk factors associated with blood sugar disorders. So
Lamberts have incorporated a full 2000mg of cinnamon into our
product, reflecting their policy to formulate products with relevant
potencies.
Other nutrients that have also been shown to help support glucose
utilisation include: zinc, vitamin C and in particular the vitamins
B1, B3 and B6. And these nutrients are all included at significant
levels.
