Psyllium and Type 2 Diabetes
A double-blind placebo-controlled study revealed that type 2 diabetic men receiving five grams of psyllium seed husks twice a day, along with a diabetic diet inclusive of carbohydrates, experienced a reduction in the after-meal blood sugar levels.
Psyllium is a safe and effective fiber supplement. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “The addition of psyllium to a traditional diet for persons with diabetes is safe, is well tolerated, and improves glycemic and lipid control in men with type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.”
The placebo group received a fiber (cellulose) placebo and did not experience results. Therefore, the study revealed that psyllium seed husks are a safe and effective supplement.
As reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “Two doses of psyllium taken immediately before breakfast and dinner resulted in significantly lower metabolic ward measurements of all-day postprandial glucose and postlunch serum glucose concentrations in the psyllium than in the placebo group. All-day and postlunch postprandial glucose concentrations were 11.0% and 19.2% lower, respectively, in the psyllium than in the placebo group.”
Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER, an all-natural dietary supplement, provides approximately five grams of psyllium seed husks per tablespoon. A small amount of kelp, a beneficial sea plant, is blended into the psyllium seed husk.
Mix Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER powder with your favorite beverage and stir briskly. Take Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER with food, preferably 20-30 minutes prior to each meal, in order to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet.
Unlike other psyllium supplements, Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER is all-natural; it does not contain any artificial flavorings or colors.
Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER supplement is also available in capsules.
Use Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER, a supportive supplement for blood-sugar health, with Res-Q 105MAX, Res-Q’s primary product for blood sugar health.
