THORNE RESEARCH – Diabenil

Diabenil contains a comprehensive blend of botanicals and nutrients to support healthy blood sugar levels and help protect nerves, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys.* Gymnema sylvestre supports already normal blood sugar levels.* Momordica charantia (bitter melon) appears to enhance glucose utilization and depress glucose synthesis in the liver.* Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) contains flavonoids that appear to support ocular tissue.* These flavonoids and quercetin strengthen blood vessels and help maintain healthy connective tissues.* Quercetin – in a Thorne-exclusive phytosome for optimal absorption – also inhibits the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, which can otherwise accumulate in the lens of the eye and in the kidneys and nerves.* Lipoic acid can significantly reduce lipid peroxidation of nerve tissue.* Chromium picolinate and vanadyl sulfate are included to help maintain already normal hemoglobin A1C levels.*
