Clinicians InsulBalance Tablets

Clinicians InsulBalance is indicated as nutrient support for disorders of glucose and insulin metabolism.

Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy. Once broken down into simple sugars and absorbed, they enter the bloodstream where they are taken up into cells for use in the metabolic processes important for cell energy production.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It binds to the cell walls of certain types of cells, allowing them to take up sugars and glucose from the bloodstream. These cells are called “insulin sensitive” cells. We all rely on this insulin sensitivity for our cells to utilise energy sources.
In many individuals, this insulin sensitivity may decrease. Cells stop responding to the presence of insulin, which results in a continuous over-production of insulin but very little sugar or glucose can be taken up into the cells. Blood insulin levels increase together with blood sugar levels. This is known as “insulin resistance”. It is also referred to as glucose intolerance/syndrome X/metabolic syndrome.

Chronic insulin resistance can lead to diabetes. Causes of insulin resistance include high consumption of carbohydrates and sugars over an extended period of time, hormonal changes (especially in women), excessive alcohol consumption, high consumption of saturated fats (red meat, butter etc.).
In some individuals, this can lead to diabetes. Chronic insulin resistance has been linked to the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), cardiovascular disease, accelerated aging, male pattern baldness, polycystic ovary syndrome, high cholesterol and fatigue.

One can prevent insulin resistance naturally through:

Diet: reduce the amount of carbohydrates (especially refined carbohydrates and simple sugars). Reduce intake of fried fatty foods replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats (omega 3 fish oils, flaxseed oil and olive oil).

Exercise: Regular exercise (both aerobic and isotonic) may prevent and reduce insulin resistance.

A nutritional supplement designed to assist the way the body uses insulin may also benefit those with signs and symptoms of insulin resistance.
