hypoglycemia

I often speak about elevated blood glucose in the setting of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. Today, I want to talk a little bit about hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels. This is actually really, really common. Oftentimes, people are unaware of the fact that diabetes is the primary reason as to why people can experience low blood glucose.†
Hypoglycemia is also known as low blood glucose. This occurs when the level of sugar in your blood drops below what is actually healthy for you. For many people who have diabetes, this usually happens when their blood glucose drops below 70, but this can vary from one person to the next.†
We know that people who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are taking insulin or some other diabetic medications are very prone to these bouts of hypoglycemia. They can have a whole slew of different symptoms that can actually lead to them going to the emergency room. Maybe they feel tired, dizzy, jittery or shaky. Maybe they feel like their heart is beating too fast or has an abnormal rhythm to it. They may get a headache. Some people may even have a problem with speaking clearly. In very severe cases, people may even end up with seizures or loss of consciousness. This is really, really problematic.†
Hypoglycemia affects more than just diabetics. We can also look at people who have PCOS or advanced liver or kidney disease. There are many different causative reasons as to why your blood glucose can be thrown off. We can look at adrenal dysfunction. Certain medications can also contribute to this.†

We have to look at what we can be doing long-term to help support healthy levels of sugar in the blood. We can look at how we can slow the rate of sugar spiking in the blood. Fiber can help support this. Fiber is wonderful when it comes to slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption. It’s important to pick healthy foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber.†
We can also look at other nutrients that can be beneficial. White kidney bean extract, which is found in our Phase 2Ⓡ Starch & Carb Neutralizer formulation, helps to impede alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is the enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down those sugars, so it’s helping to slow that rate of glucose being spiked up.†

carnosine

Researchers have come a long way since the original discovery of the very unique amino acid carnosine. L-carnosine has long been known for helping with muscle recovery and energy production within the muscles. We are now seeing why this amino acid is so important to our overall health and wellness.†
L-carnosine is a dipeptide made up of beta alanine and L-histidine. Recent research has found high levels of this amino acid in neurons, showing that this nutrient may be important for the nervous system and brain. We find carnosine throughout the body wherever there are high energy demands, including the heart, brain and skeletal muscles. It helps support the metabolic demand and energy production within those regions.†
We also now recognize that this nutrient plays a role in the aging process. As carnosine levels begin to diminish, we start to see an acceleration of aging. We can see that the shortening of telomeres is associated with low levels of carnosine in the body. This can cause things to go haywire.†
Initial studies on L-carnosine looked at the role of the nutrient in skeletal muscle. It is integral to muscle recovery, so it is helpful after exercise, for example. But we also know that it seems to exert this multimodal activity, including being very important when it comes to targeting free radicals. It has its own antioxidant capabilities. It is very beneficial when it comes to easing inflammation.†
If we can supplement with L-carnosine and put this nutrient back into our body, we are actually helping to protect our telomeres, which are the end-caps of our cellular DNA.†
We have our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation, which is this powerful dipeptide that people can utilize for a variety of reasons. For people who are seeing early signs of the kidneys beginning to slow down, then taking carnosine can be advantageous for its antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to help with glycation. This can also be the case when it comes to diabetic neuropathy. There is so much research continuing to come out about how the antioxidants derived from carnosine can do so much to support the health of the brain, as well as the muscles.†
