Pharmachem ~ Prenulin

KEARNY, N.J.Pharmachem introduced Prenulin, a new ingredient for healthy glucose support. The product combines L-arabinose with chromium, and can be included in dietary supplements, beverages and foods.

The ingredient lowers both circulating glucose and insulin levels, according to two human studies described in "A Combination of L-arabinose and Chromium Lowers Circulating Glucose and Insulin Levels After an Acute Oral Sucrose Challenge," in the May 2011 issue of Nutrition Journal.

 Normally, it's sugar in, sugar up," said Mitch Skop, senior director of new product development. The beauty of Prenulin is that when sugar is consumed, the resulting blood sugar levels have been shown not to spike as they would without the ingredient."

Prenulin can now be added to the arsenal of ingredients to support diabetics. For more information on controlling the disease naturally, view the INSIDER slide show, "Managing Diabetes."
