Metformin tackling age-related diabetes
Metformin is a classic type II diabetes medicine. It helps to resensitize receptors to insulin, which helps restore normal glu-
cose and insulin levels. This loss of insulin sensitivity occurs with aging and may be one of the reasons why losing weight is
so difficult past a certain age.

“As a nutritionist I normally don’t recommend medicines but metformin is an exception. Most people don’t realize that
they are often pre-diabetic, that is to say, not medically diagnosed but still suffering from many of the effects such as low
energy, mood swings and weight gain. Low doses of metformin can help to address these issues and doesn’t interfere
with insulin levels, but rather helps to make what we have work more effectively.” Karen Kaufmann Kappa
Benfotiamine blocking those effects of sugar
Benfotiamine is a synthetic version of B1. Researchers have reported that it can block sugar path-
ways in the body, thus helping to control glucose and insulin levels.

Krill a saviour from the sea
Krill has a unique blend of omega 3, 6 and 9, as well as phospholipids. In studies, regular use of krill
at 500 mg twice daily has been shown to lower glucose levels on average by 6%. Apart from its many
other beneficial properties, it is a useful adjunct to help control sugar levels and alleviate the symptoms
of fatigue and depression associated with excessive sugar consumption.

Aminoguanidine
reducing the damaging reactions of diabetes
Aminoguanidine helps to prevent some proteins from cross-linking. It is an exciting
new weapon in the fight against aging, because it has the potential to slow the
aging process by protecting the proteins that make up our bodies. Diabetes
is often seen as a form of accelerated aging, and research into diabetes has
provided support for the idea that cross-linking causes aging. Aminoguanidine
is especially useful for alleviating the symptoms associated with diabetes.

Pyridoxamine the B6 anti-glycosylation agent
Pyridoxamine is the rarest form of vitamin B6 and is a potent natural substance to
inhibit late stage glycosylation. This process (also known as cross-linking) inhibits the
actions of proteins, preventing them from performing their functions. Cross-linking
leads to aging disorders, and this process is commonly seen in diabetics. In animal
models, pyridoxamine has inhibited both development and progression of diabetic
nephropathy for both types I and II.
