<p><a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX </a>contains alpha-lipoic acid for blood-sugar metabolism. Although <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX </a>contains a combination of various all-natural ingredients that work together to support blood-sugar metabolism, this specific article will focus on the benefits of the all-natural ingredient alpha-lipoic acid and how it promotes blood-sugar metabolism.</p>
<p>Alpha-lipoic acid promotes blood-sugar metabolism by encouraging blood-sugar entry into the cells. Therefore, when used as part of the diet, alpha-lipoic acid helps maintain a healthy blood-sugar level.<span id="more-1047"></span></p>
<p>First of all, it is important to understand that high blood-sugar levels are a sign of diabetes. When blood sugar does not enter into the cells, the result is blood-sugar levels higher than normal: prediabetes or diabetes. Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy blood sugar level in order to remain healthy.</p>
<p>Next, it is important to understand that in order for blood sugar to leave the blood and enter the cells, insulin is needed. Insulin is like an escort, taking blood sugar where it needs to go. Diabetics have trouble with this process not functioning as it should.</p>
<p>Alpha-lipoic acid helps blood sugar enter into the cells and get used for energy.  Human studies show that alpha-lipoic acid helps blood sugar to be utilized as measured by the glucose disposal rate and insulin sensitivity. Alpha-lipoic acid supports the function of cellular responsiveness to the blood sugar, helps blood-sugar transport into the cells, and may even help insulin to do its job better. In fact, research suggests that alpha-lipoic acid may promote blood-sugar metabolism so well that the results can mirror those with normal blood-sugar metabolism.</p>

<p>Chromium is an ingredient featured in <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX</a>, Res-Q’s primary product for blood sugar metabolism.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<span id="more-1004"></span></p>
<p>Type 2 diabetics may experience difficulty with blood sugar metabolism due to the cells not responding to insulin as they should. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, enables blood sugar metabolism. Therefore, the cells’ ability to respond to insulin is a critical function of blood sugar metabolism.</p>
<p>Additionally, chromium may help balance the body’s need for excessive insulin production. Chromium decreased the amount of insulin when blood sugar levels were normal but insulin levels were high. The pancreas will naturally keep making more insulin in an effort to lower blood sugar levels and improve blood sugar metabolism. This is often referred to as the over-production of insulin. Therefore, chromium is a beneficial mineral that helps balance insulin production.</p>

<p>Bitter melon is an ingredient found in <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX</a>, Res-Q’s primary product for blood sugar metabolism. Res-Q 105MAX contains a combination of all-natural ingredients clinically shown to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet.  </p>
<p>Individuals with diabetes have problems metabolizing blood sugar. Therefore, it is important to improve blood sugar metabolism before problems occur. The fruit of bitter melon may help maintain blood sugar levels. It is important to test your blood sugar levels every day while on any program to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. <span id="more-1002"></span></p>
<h4>How the fruit of bitter melon helps blood sugar metabolism: </h4>
<p>First of all, bitter melon helps blood sugar to enter into the cell. This is an important aspect of blood sugar metabolism. Bitter melon encourages the release of insulin and promotes the health of the pancreatic cells that produce insulin, known as the beta cells. Insulin is necessary for blood sugar metabolism because it allows the blood sugar to enter the cell. </p>
<p>Secondly, as the blood sugar enters the cells, the blood sugar is exiting the bloodstream which accounts for a healthy, rather than elevated, blood sugar level. </p>
<p>Last but not least, bitter melon encourages the use of sugar for energy which is known as glucose oxidation. </p>
<p>This is how bitter melon helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet. Natural products can have a beneficial effect on blood-sugar metabolism and blood-sugar utilization. </p>

<p>Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract is an all-natural herb found in <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX</a>, a Res-Q product that promotes the normal function of <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/category/blood-sugar/">blood sugar</a> metabolism. <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX </a>is a dietary supplement that contains a combination of various all-natural ingredients that have been shown in clinical studies to support blood sugar metabolism.</p>
<p> Gymnema sylvestre, an all-natural herbal extract, was used successfully in long-term clinical studies conducted on type 2 and type 1 diabetic people in order to evaluate the effect of gymnema sylvestre on blood sugar and insulin levels. Gymnema sylvestre was taken along with oral medications and insulin therapy. Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract helped support blood sugar and A1C levels, a test used to evaluate blood sugar metabolism. The use of gymnema sylvestre may promote the normal function of <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/category/blood-sugar/">blood sugar</a> and insulin function common to everyone, thus reducing the treatment requirements of the patient.<span id="more-996"></span></p>
<p>Gymnema sylvestre helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level by promoting blood sugar metabolism. Gymnema sylvestre promotes blood sugar metabolism by inhibiting the intestinal absorption of sugar, promoting cell responsiveness to insulin, and by promoting insulin release from the pancreas.</p>
<p>Gymnema sylvestre promotes the release of insulin, a hormone necessary for blood sugar metabolism, by supporting the health of the pancreas, an organ or gland that releases insulin. The pancreas, part of the digestive system, produces enzymes and hormones necessary for metabolism. Gymnema sylvestre promotes pancreatic function by encouraging the health of the pancreas islet cells.</p>
<p>Always consult your physician regarding any questions about your <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/category/blood-sugar/">blood sugar</a>, medications, a medical condition, and before using a new supplement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/LS_combo.JPG" rel="shadowbox[post-809];player=img;"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-415" title="Res-Q Land 'n' Sea Fiber: Capsules and Powder" src="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/LS_combo-150x150.jpg" alt="Res-Q Land 'n' Sea Fiber: Capsules and Powder" width="150" height="150" /></a>   Psyllium and Type 2 Diabetes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-809"></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Psyllium is a safe and effective fiber supplement. According to the <em>American Journal of Clinical Nutrition</em>, “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.”</p>
<p>The placebo group received a fiber (cellulose) placebo and did not experience results. Therefore, the study revealed that <em>psyllium seed husks</em> are a safe and effective supplement.</p>
<p>As reported in the <em>American Journal of Clinical Nutrition</em>, “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.”</p>
<p>Unlike other psyllium supplements, Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER is all-natural; it does not contain any artificial flavorings or colors.</p>
<p>Res-Q LAND ‘n’ SEA FIBER supplement is also available in capsules.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We recommend that you review all supplements with your physician prior to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Resveratrol’s unique ability to affect specific <em>sirtuins, </em>referred to as a “class of proteins”<sup>1<em> </em></sup>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 <em>Endocrinology</em>,  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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Res-Q Resveratrol is a high-quality resveratrol supplement containing resveratrol in its most biological active form.</p>
<p><span id="more-781"></span></p>
<p>The results of many research studies suggest that resveratrol could help promote blood sugar metabolism.  Many studies have been conducted to find out <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">how</span> </em>resveratrol promotes blood sugar health. The studies have revealed various information about how resveratrol affects insulin and blood sugar, of which the most impressive and well-known factor may be resveratrol’s ability to affect Sirt1. Sirtuin 1, referred to as both a gene and an enzyme, works on a cellular level to promote the basic survival mechanism of many living things and is attributed with the expansion of the lifespan or what is more commonly referred to as living longer.</p>
<p>Since resveratrol activates Sirt1 (Sirtuin 1), which is less active in cells that are not responding to insulin, resveratrol can improve blood sugar metabolism.<sup>2 </sup>Sirutins are found throughout the body<sup>1</sup>, including the liver, brain, pancreas, and body fat. Resveratrol’s activation of sirtuins can benefit our health in more ways than just living longer.</p>
<p>Resveratrol’s activation of Sirtuin 1 can  promote the normal function of blood sugar metabolism common to everyone.  The activation of Sirt1 has been shown to help regulate the action of insulin and encourage blood sugar metabolism.<sup>3</sup></p>
<p>Resveratrol is only present in red wine and red grapes in very small quantities.  The amounts used in research are potent amounts of resveratrol.  Therefore, resveratrol supplements are used to help provide a concentrated extract of resveratrol and supplement the diet.</p>
<p> For the health benefits of blood sugar metabolism, we recommend our primary product Res-Q 105MAX, designed specifically to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet. Res-Q Resveratrol may also be used as a supportive product to help maintain blood sugar metabolism and encourage longevity. Res-Q Resveratrol has many health benefits: longevity, good health, cardiovascular health and brain health.  Call 1-800-26-ALIVE to learn how you can get the best price on Res-Q Resveratrol, a high quality resveratrol supplement.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>If your fasting blood sugar is greater than 100, you are already prediabetic.<sup>1</sup>You 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.</p>
<p>57 million Americans are at risk for type II diabetes.<sup>1</sup> 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-748"></span></p>
<p>As published in the medical journal Diabetes Metabolism, “Prevention of type 2 diabetes has been a major issue for healthcare providers because of the high incidence and the high cost of diabetes.” In 2007, 174 billion dollars was spent on diabetes-related health care costs. <sup>1</sup></p>
<p>Type II diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body does not produce enough insulin or make proper use of the insulin produced. Insulin is like the key that unlocks the door, allowing glucose (blood sugar) to pass through and enter the cells.  Blood sugar commonly referred to as glucose, is used to produce energy for our bodies much like gasoline is what makes our car run. With Type 2 diabetes, either the cells ignore insulin, or there is not enough insulin, causing elevated blood sugar.</p>
<p>Type I diabetes is an auto-immune disease in which the body does not produce any insulin. This means that people with type I diabetes will need to take insulin in order to metabolize their blood sugar. Type I diabetes occurs most frequently in children and young adults.</p>
<p>It is important to know your blood sugar number and take steps to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Put the focus on prevention before diabetes develops. There are 5.7 million people who have diabetes and are not even aware that they have it.<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>Even if you are only prediabetic, it is important to talk to your doctor about dietary modifications and other natural steps that you can take to help maintain a normal blood sugar level. It is better to put the focus on prevention and maintain a normal blood sugar level than to wait until it becomes diabetes or the blood sugar becomes worse.</p>
<p>If you are trying to maintain a healthy blood sugar level, dietary supplements can help the normal function of blood sugar metabolism. Res-Q 105MAX can help support blood sugar metabolism, a normal function that is common to everyone.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/tag/res-q-105max/">Res-Q 105MAX </a>contains all-natural ingredients that help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet. We recommend that you discuss taking Res-Q 105MAX with your doctor and get your blood sugar tested prior to starting Res-Q 105MAX. It is important to test your blood sugar levels every day while on any program to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.</p>

<div id="attachment_522" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/custom-Res-Q-105MAX.JPG" rel="shadowbox[post-145];player=img;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-522" title="Res-Q 105MAX" src="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/custom-Res-Q-105MAX-150x150.jpg" alt="Res-Q 105MAX promotes blood sugar metabolism." width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Res-Q 105MAX promotes blood sugar metabolism.</p></div>
<p>Recent news: Elevated levels of sugar in the blood can cause poor mental performance. </span></div>
<p><strong>Could this be the “sugar fog” that I have always heard of?<br />
</strong><br />
According to a recent article in <em>The Washington Post</em>, “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.”</p>
<p><span id="more-145"></span><br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Zwkl_7Dgoto/SSWmwX6JA8I/AAAAAAAAAUk/SmpPuvnIa5Q/s512/custom%20Res-Q%20105MAX.JPG" rel="shadowbox[post-145];player=img;"></a><br />
The connection between mental performance and high <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/category/blood-sugar/">blood sugar </a>is yet another good reason to get blood sugar levels tested.</p>
<p>Elevated AIC levels, common in diabetics, is the result of having too much sugar in the bloodstream due to poor <a href="http://www.n3inc.com/blog/category/blood-sugar/">blood sugar</a> management. People with diabetes have problems metabolizing carbohydrates.</p>
<p>The AIC test is a very good test to take to determine how well your body can metabolize sugar. The danger of high blood sugar is a good reason for people with elevated blood sugar levels to start to do something about it. Diabetics should talk to their physician about regular blood sugar testing and a diabetic diet!</p>
<p>Res-Q 105 MAX, a dietary supplement containing natural ingredients may be used as part of the diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.  Res-Q 105 MAX is a dietary supplement that contains a combination of all-natural active ingredients that promote blood sugar metabolism, a normal function of the body common to everyone. </p>
<p>Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level can be a challenge even when on a healthy diet plan. <a href="https://n3prod.n3inc.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=10060"><span style="font-size:85%;">Res-Q 105 MAX</span></a> can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet.</p>
<p>Res-Q 105 MAX contains pumpkin pentose, a fairly exclusive ingredient that is getting recognized for its ability to support a healthy AIC level when used as part of the diet. Discuss use of Res-Q 105 MAX and the AIC test with your physician.</p>
