Gluco Minus capsules

Gluco Minus capsules contain polyphenols from silver fir branches and chromium. This synergistic formula inhibits carbohydrate breakdown, accelerates glucose uptake, and converts it into energy. It is an ideal dietary supplement for carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium plays a role in the metabolism of macronutrients and helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.

Diabetes – Alarming Facts

Approximately seven percent of the adult global population in the developed world suffers from the effects of diabetes. Each year, this number increases, leading to what can be described as a true diabetes pandemic.

Equally concerning are the data on the prevalence of risk factors that accelerate the development of the disease. These include smoking, poor diet, and insufficient physical activity, leading to a predicted obesity pandemic. Obesity, defined as a chronic disease characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body, is the most widespread risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.

We often do not realize how much sugar is in sugar-sweetened beverages. These include sodas, flavored waters, iced teas, energy drinks, and fruit syrups.

Which Foods Contain High Levels of Sugar?

In addition to high-calorie sodas, major sources of sugar in our diet include sweets and candies, pastries and cookies, desserts, and dairy products like yogurts and ice cream. Many foods, such as cereals, which are sometimes considered healthy, contain a lot of sugar. We recommend checking the amount of added sugar on food labels.

In recent years, flavored waters have become very popular. However, the problem is that all flavored waters contain a large amount of sugar. A half-liter bottle can contain up to 5-8 teaspoons of sugar.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease. The fundamental disorder is the inability of blood sugar (glucose) to move from the blood into the cells. This transfer is facilitated by the hormone insulin. If there is insufficient insulin in the blood or if cells do not respond to it, blood sugar levels increase.

Two Main Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes: This type most commonly occurs in children and adolescents. It develops when beta cells in the pancreas cannot produce insulin. Patients become dependent on external insulin, hence type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes: This is the most common type of diabetes, affecting 90% of diabetics. Previously associated with aging, it now also appears in younger individuals and adolescents. It is characterized by two defects: insulin resistance in cells, meaning cells do not respond to insulin and do not absorb glucose, and beta cell dysfunction in the pancreas, which does not release enough insulin. The result of both defects is elevated blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes develops slowly. Its likelihood increases with age, unhealthy lifestyle, and obesity.

How to Detect Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes can be identified with a simple blood test or a glucose meter used in the morning on an empty stomach. The threshold value for glucose is between 3.6 and 6.0 mmol/L. Values above 7.0 mmol/L indicate diabetes.

Managing Diabetes with Gluco Minus

Addressing the growing concern of diabetes requires proactive measures to maintain normal blood glucose levels and support metabolic health. Gluco Minus is specifically formulated to aid in this effort. By combining polyphenols from silver fir branches and chromium, Gluco Minus helps inhibit carbohydrate breakdown, enhance glucose uptake, and convert it into energy. This synergistic formula supports the management of blood glucose levels and assists in carbohydrate metabolism, making it an ideal dietary supplement for those at risk of or managing diabetes.

Key ingredients and their benefits

Chromium Picolinate: Contains chromium, an essential trace element linked to many vital functions in the body. Its role is mainly in supporting the metabolism of macronutrients and maintaining normal blood glucose levels. This is particularly beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance, as it can help regulate glucose and insulin levels.

Chromium Picolinate can also contribute to weight loss and heart health, affecting the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins and helping to regulate cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Belinal® – Silver Fir Branch Extract (Abies alba): Belinal is a Slovenian extract from silver fir branches. This extract is obtained from the highest quality parts of branches, hand-harvested in the pristine mountain forests of Kočevje. Scientists have identified as many as 36 different polyphenols in these branches, which have exceptional properties. A clinical study conducted at the Medical Faculty in Maribor showed that Belinal effectively inhibits digestive enzymes amylase, thereby reducing the glycemic index of carbohydrate-rich foods consumed!
