CardioGT: New Supplement for Improving Glucose Metabolism Diabetes or pre-diabetes is the most important health epidemic facing Americans today. This problem has been worsening dramatically over the past two decades and now is present in 40 percent of adults over age 45, and 70 percent of people who have a history of heart disease. These abnormalities in glucose metabolism are often associated with a cluster of risk factors including obesity, high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol. You can prevent or improve abnormalities of glucose metabolism and diabetes with exercise, weight loss (especially from around the waist) and a diet high in fresh, natural whole food, and low in simple carbohydrates and saturated and trans fats. Additionally, to help improve glucose metabolism, CardioTabs has developed an exciting new supplement, CardioGT (glucose tolerance), which when used along with diet and exercise, can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. CardioGT has been formulated to contain safe, natural ingredients that have been identified to have a positive impact on glucose metabolism. Among these are chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), magnesium, vanadium and cinnamon. Chromium, vanadium and magnesium are all minerals that have been shown to improve glucose levels in several studies. Alpha-lipoic acid is sometimes referred to as the "antioxidant of antioxidants" and appears to help improve carbohydrate metabolism. CoQ10 is another powerful antioxidant that may be especially important for the heart. CoQ10 levels are generally low in people with diabetes and those who are taking statins. The spice, cinnamon, has been shown in randomized placebo controlled trials to improve insulin activity and reduce glucose levels, especially after meals. The CardioGT formula contains Cinnulin PF, a concentration of the beneficial antioxidants derived from cinnamon. Diabetes, or pre-diabetes, significantly increases your risk for heart disease. CardioGT, when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, may help improve the long-term outlook for patients with abnormalities of glucose metabolism. CardioGT is available on the CardioTabs Web site (www.cardiotabs.com) or on your pharmacy shelf. Proceeds from CardioTabs support research and education at Cardiovascular Consultants. |
