Blood Sugar Control – Powered by Diachrome®

Diachrome potentiates the uptake of glucose in the muscle cells, increases glycogen production, stimulates the activity of glucokinase in the liver and improves pancreatic cell function to enhance insulin regulation.

Research illustrates that the effects these two individual ingredients have, respectively, on both glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in human skeletal muscle cells is modest when compared to that of the patented combination of biotin and chromium picolinate (Diachrome):

  • Biotin (alone) – very little effect
  • Chromium Picolinate (alone) – almost 20% increase in glucose uptake
  • The combination of the two (Diachrome) – shows the most impact on glucose uptake - by more than 60%.

In head-to-head comparison studies of people taking commercially available chromium supplements, chromium picolinate was found to be the most highly-absorbable form. This is important to note because other forms are not absorbed by the body to the same extent as
chromium picolinate and therefore do not render the same health benefits as chromium picolinate.

Additionally, research conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins University has suggested that there is a direct correlation between low chromium tissue levels and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes. Studies published in medical journals such as The American Journal of Medical Science and Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics support the benefits of this combination in the regimen of people with type 2 diabetes. By simply adding Diachrome to your patients' standard of care you can help improve their blood sugar metabolism and promote healthy cholesterol safely and effectively.*

Diachrome Promotes Better Blood Sugar and Fat Metabolism

Diachrome works by helping the body more effectively utilize the insulin it produces and to better metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Diachrome targets both the pancreatic beta cells and muscle cells. The addition of Diachrome to
oral diabetes regimens provides improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced insulin regulation resulting in a unique, dual effect: improved glucose and lipid metabolism.

Diachrome is affordable, convenient (with simple QD dosing) and will enhance your patients'
existing diabetes therapy.
