Chromium is an ingredient featured in Res-Q 105MAX, Res-Q’s primary product for blood sugar metabolism.

Res-Q 105MAX may be used as nutritional support, as part of the diet, in order to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Nutrition can play an important role in blood sugar metabolism. For example, chromium is a trace mineral and an important element of the diet that helps blood sugar metabolism. Chromium deficiency could impair blood sugar metabolism.

Chromium helps blood sugar metabolism by encouraging the entry of blood sugar into the cell. Clinical studies show that chromium promotes the cells’ response to insulin. Chromium may help blood sugar pass into the cell by encouraging a greater number of cell receptors, promoting cell receptor binding and by enhancing the effect of insulin. (more…)

How Does Resveratrol Help Blood Sugar Metabolism?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Resveratrol’s unique ability to affect specific sirtuins, referred to as a “class of proteins”1 is the reason for resveratrol’s anti-aging health benefits. However, according to a new study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and published in Endocrinology,  resveratrol’s stimulation of sirutins located in the brain of overweight and diabetic mice helps regulate excess blood levels of sugar and insulin. This research reveals insight into exactly how resveratrol behaves.

This is not the first study to help elucidate the mechanism behind how resveratrol may help improve blood sugar metabolism. Scientists believe that resveratrol, a natural component of the red grape skins and red wine, which is also made from the red grapes, may be beneficial for the health of those with Type II diabetes.

Res-Q Resveratrol is a high-quality resveratrol supplement containing resveratrol in its most biological active form.

November is American Diabetes Month

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

November is American Diabetes Month. Testing your blood sugar would be a good thing to do this month. If you have never had your blood sugar tested, it is a good idea to get tested.

If your fasting blood sugar is greater than 100, you are already prediabetic.1You may be familiar with the term borderline diabetic. However, it is important to know what the blood sugar number means to know exactly where you stand. In fact, did you know that if your fasting blood sugar is greater than 125, you are already a diabetic? The fasting blood sugar test can be done in the morning prior to breakfast.

57 million Americans are at risk for type II diabetes.1 Type II diabetes accounts for 95% of all cases of diabetes. Type II diabetes can suddenly develop due to old age in people that did not have diabetes prior. This is another reason why it is important to know your blood sugar number.

Res-Q 105MAX promotes blood sugar metabolism.

Res-Q 105MAX promotes blood sugar metabolism.

Recent news: Elevated levels of sugar in the blood can cause poor mental performance.

Could this be the “sugar fog” that I have always heard of?

According to a recent article in The Washington Post, “Researchers found that patients with higher levels of hemoglobin A1C (a measure of average blood glucose levels over 2 to 3 months) had significantly worse results while doing cognitive tasks that tested memory, speed and the ability to manage multiple tasks at the same time. Higher A1C levels were also associated with lower scores on a test of global cognitive function.”

“Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of risk factors for diabetes and heart disease — including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides (another type of blood fat). The syndrome is typically diagnosed when a person has three or more of these conditions.”1

Recently, it was reported that having metabolic syndrome increases the risk of future kidney problems. Metabolic syndrome also increases your risk of cardiovascular health problems.
