The components of the complex provide nutritional support for the body during a restricted diet and contribute to:
• regulation of blood sugar and cholesterol levels
• support of normal metabolism
• increased sensitivity of cells to insulin
• reduction of fatigue

Disruption of carbohydrate metabolism occurring in diabetes is characterized not only by elevated blood glucose levels.
It is also accompanied by an increased need for certain vitamins and minerals.
This arises from the accelerated excretion of nutrients caused by frequent urination - one of the possible signs of high blood sugar levels.
Additionally, due to a significantly restricted diet, the body does not receive sufficient amounts of minerals and vitamins.
For these reasons, the risk of developing a deficiency of these biocomponents increases, which is dangerous due to the development of serious complications affecting the nervous and cardiovascular systems, vision, as well as many other organs and functions.

INFORMATION ON BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES AND THEIR PROPERTIES

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - a water-soluble compound, whose presence in the body is an important condition for the realization of its various biological functions. It is a powerful antioxidant with an action aimed at reducing the severity of oxidative damage to cells. The immunostimulating effect of vitamin C is manifested, in particular, by increasing the ability of neutrophils (one of the cellular components of innate immunity) to recognize and destroy foreign agents3. In addition, ascorbic acid participates in the complex multi-stage synthesis of collagen - the basis of connective tissue. With age, the intensity of vitamin C metabolism significantly decreases, which can lead to skin damage and fragility of blood vessels.4

Vitamin E (tocopherol) contributes to the implementation of full antioxidant protection. The substance inhibits the oxidation of selenium as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Under the influence of tocopherol, the activity of cholesterol synthesis decreases, preventing its excessive formation and accumulation. In addition, vitamin E helps normalize the functioning of the immune system and positively affects the condition of the heart and blood vessels.5

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is an essential link in almost all metabolic processes, necessary, in particular, for the breakdown of carbohydrates. It is involved in the biosynthesis reactions of acetylcholine - a substance responsible for the transmission of impulses in the central nervous system (CNS). In addition, the bioelement ensures the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system and supports the tone of the digestive organs.6

Vitamin B3 (PP) (niacin) is also known as nicotinic acid or nicotinamide. Its biological role lies in the construction of coenzymes - molecules necessary for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and cholesterol, as well as the synthesis of certain hormones. In addition, the vitamin participates in the regulation of blood glucose and cholesterol levels, serving as a component of antioxidant protection.5

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is involved in the reactions of carbohydrate and fat breakdown, contributes to the formation of several important hormones, as well as the detoxification of various toxins.5

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) acts as a cofactor (a compound participating in the biological activity of proteins) in several dozen enzymatic reactions, facilitating the optimal absorption of amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates.5,7

Vitamin B7 (biotin) is also necessary for the action of many enzymes that control the metabolism of glucose, fats, and amino acids. Its role in energy metabolism and cell growth is quite significant.5

Vitamin B9 (folic acid) is an essential participant in protein metabolism reactions, having great importance for cell growth and division, as well as the transmission of hereditary information.5

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) helps other B vitamins perform their functions. The nutrient is involved in energy metabolism processes, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as stabilizing cholesterol levels.5

Chromium (Cr) - an essential trace element necessary for metabolic reactions involving proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.6 The mineral is a constant structural part of all organs and tissues. The special role of chromium lies in regulating carbohydrate metabolism, maintaining normal blood glucose levels, and ensuring adequate activity of the pancreatic hormone insulin.7

Selenium (Se) - one of the vital ultra-trace elements for humans, having numerous functions. It is part of several enzymes, in particular glutathione peroxidase, which prevents the destruction of cell membranes under the influence of free radicals.8,9

Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound, acting similarly to B vitamins.10 One of its effects is to increase the efficiency of carbohydrate utilization, which in turn leads to improved energy metabolism.5 By acting on specific transporter proteins, this substance helps reduce the degradation (breakdown) of insulin. As a result, the absorption and utilization of glucose by cells for energy production occur more efficiently.11
