Product Description: alpha betic is the multi-vitamin supplement designed by doctors for people with diabetes. In addition to chromium and other diabetes specific nutrients, alpha betic contains something unique - a naturally occurring co-enzyme called Alpha Lipoic Acid. With more than 40 years of research behind it, this Alpha Lipoic Acid has the unique ability to promote glucose metabolism, healthy nerve function and optimum antioxidant protection. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID For the promotion of glucose metabolism, optimum antioxidant protection and healthy nerve function. LUTEIN Lutein is an antioxidant and the primary carotenoid found in the central area of the retina called the macula, the tiny portion of the eye responsible for 20/20 vision. Lutein appears to prevent free radical damage in the macula and retina, both of which are highly oxidant-sensitive areas susceptible to age-related macular degeneration(ARMD) and cataracts. ANTIOXIDANTS Vitamin A: For the maintenance of a healthy, strong immune system. Also, for the maintenance of healthy eyes. Vitamin C: An important antioxidant, Vitamin C slows the conversion of glucose to sorbitol which can cause free radical damage. Vitamin E: Supports healthy heart function as the body ages. Reduces free radical damage to lipids and triglycerides in the blood. Data suggests that people with diabetes may be particularly deficient in Vitamin E. Selenium: A powerful antioxidant, selenium aids in the reduction of free radical damage. Zinc: Promotes healthy skin. B-VITAMINS Thiamin (Vitamin B1): An important component of an enzyme system which is essential for the production of energy, this vitamin provides for proper metabolism of carbohydrates and proper nerve cell function. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Important for both protein and lipid metabolism, this vitamin is essential for tissue repair in the body. Conditions which place stress on the body, such as diabetes, increase the requirement for B2. Niacin (Vitamin B3): Important for maintaining the function of beta pancreatic cells which secrete insulin. Promotes glucose metabolism. Vitamin B6: This vitamin is involved in the production of neurotransmitters, fat and protein metabolism and proper secretion of insulin and glucagon. Also necessary for the proper cell utilization of magnesium. Folic Acid: Important in the process of cell division, this vitamin also reduces homocysteine levels in the body. Vitamin B12: Important in the maintenance of healthy nerve cells and the proper function of the immune system. MINERALS Iodine: Data suggest that people with diabetes and those on weight-reducing diets may be particularly deficient in Iodine, which is essential for thyroid function.* Manganese: Important in the key enzyme involved in glucose metabolism, this mineral is reported to be low in people with diabetes. Chromium: Important for glucose metabolism. Also important in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Magnesium: Important in maintaining eye health and in the proper maintenance of blood sugar levels. Vanadium: Important for proper glucose metabolism. Calcium: the most abundant cation in the body (about 1200 g). About 99% of calcium is present in the skeleton and the remaining 1% is present in the intra- and extra-cellular structures and cell membranes. Calcium is a major component of bones and teeth. The calcium content in bones is continuously undergoing a process of resorption and formation. Additionally, calcium is necessary for the functional integrity of many cells, especially those of the neuromuscular and cardiovascular system.
