Help maintain healthy glucose metabloism and cardiovascular health A placebo-controlled study provided the first evidence that berberine is a valuable supplement for diabetes and cardiovascular health. Berberine was shown to lower blood glucose, HbA1c (the best measure of long term blood sugar and diabetes control), triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol significantly better than a placebo in people with type 2 diabetes.When type 2 diabetics were given either berberine or the diabetes drug metformin, the berberine was equally effective for blood glucose, HbA1c and insulin. Berberine had an advantage over the drug, though, because it also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. The study also found that adding the same dose of berberine to the treatment of people whose type 2 diabetes was not being adequately managed by drugs significantly lowered blood glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, totalcholesterol and the harmful LDL cholesterol.A third study compared berberine to two drugs: metformin and rosiglitazone. Berberine’s effectiveness was similar to the drugs. It significantly lowered fasting blood glucose levels, insulin, triglycerides and HbA1c in type 2 diabetics. In vitro, berberine increased the number and responsiveness of insulin receptor cells.A meta-analysis of 27 controlled studies found that berberine was as effective as drugs for diabetes, equal to drugs for lowering total and LDL cholesterol and superior to drugs for lowering triglycerides and raising the heart healthy HDL cholesterol. It also found that berberine is superior to placebo for high blood pressure.Berberine has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure. Adding berberine to conventional treatment of congestive heart failure has been shown to significantly improve the results and significantly lower the number of deaths.

What You Can Expect from Selemethionine: L-selenomethionine Antioxidant for Good Health Easily absorbed and retained Selenium is required by the body as a trace element for the production of an important antioxidant called glutathione peroxidase. Selenium can prevent oxidization and thereby protect cells and tissues from free radicals.Selenium is concentrated in the kidneys, liver, muscles and the thyroid. It boosts and helps regulate the immune system and fights back infections, some harmful bacteria and viruses.Selenium deficiency reduces the activities of the selenium-dependent antioxidant enzymes, leading to anumber of functional disorders including skeletal muscle dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction, hepatic degradation, increased capillary permeability, and pancreatic degeneration.L-selenomethionine is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and is better absorbed and retained in the body than other forms including selenite or selenate. Organic forms of selenium, such asL-selenomethionine, are selenium bound to methionine, an essential amino acid. Medicinal Ingredients Selenium (L - selenomethionine)... 200 mcg Non-Medicinal IngredientsMicrocrystalline cellulose, vegetariane capsule (cellulose, purified water, silica), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).

The Role of Vitamin K2Vitamin K2 is essential to building strong bones. Vitamin K2 works by regulating the body’s metabolism of calcium, helping to guide calcium towards the areas of the body where it is needed, such as your skeleton and bones, and away from areas where it could have a negative effect, such as the arteries and cardiovascular system. There are two main forms of Vitamin K2: MK-4 and MK-7. While both forms are effective for improving bone health, MK-7 is the natural form of vitamin K2 used by the body. MK-7 is more easily absorbed and stays in the body longer – meaning that it is effective at a much lower dose than MK-4.Green leafy vegetables usually supply vitamin K for the majority of Canadians. However, many foods considered rich in vitamin K have proven to have much less than originally thought. Preferred Nutrition’s Vitamin K2 contains an optimal dose in the easily absorbed MK-7 form to support healthy bones.EACH CAPSULE CONTAINS Medicinal IngredientsVitamin K2 MK-7 (from natto bean) ... 100 mcgVegetarian capsule (cellulose, purified water), microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).
