Action:
The regulation of sugar levels in the body corresponds to the hormone: insulin. Insulin acts on the cells of the body by activating them in their respective metabolic eg. The conversion of glucose into fat in fat cells or muscle glycogen in the cells. This leads to lower blood sugar levels. Insulin activates cells via insulin receptor (insulin-sensitive receptors).
People with type I diabetes do not produce sufficient amounts of the hormone. However, most common type II diabetes, in which the body produces insulin is true, but the cells do not have adequate sensitivity to the hormone. Reduced insulin sensitivity may also occur in people who are overweight.
It has been found that the components contained in cinnamon improve glucose control and blood lipids - particularly in the case of type II diabetes and overweight persons. For this effect corresponds to the active bioflavonoid - MHCP, which activates insulin receptors and thus stimulates cells to take up glucose from the blood and its transformation, eg. In fat or glycogen.
The product also complements the diet with vitamins and minerals, especially important for people with impaired tolerance carbohydrates (diabetes):
B vitamins: B1, B2, B6 - important for proper metabolism of carbohydrates in the body.
folic acid and vitamin B12 - regulating metabolism and blood levels of homocysteine.
minerals zinc and chromium - play an important role m. al. in the synthesis and release of the insulin and to affect its effectiveness.
