Strong bones, bone density, optimal bone mass, bone growth, and bone rejuvenation are all topics vital to the quality of your health. Premium-quality minerals, vitamin D, vitamin K, and other important bone-building nutrients are essential to provide adequate nutrition for the ongoing process of bone rejuvenation.*New science shows that managing the...

Cinnamon Plus™ contains cinnamon extract, coffee berry extract (decaffeinated), and banaba extract for healthy glucose metabolism. Cinnamon has been found to positively influence various health parameters often associated with proper insulin function, including natural support for healthy blood pressure and healthy metabolism of lipids (cholesterol and...

Your body maintains a relatively small amount of blood sugar in your circulation on a fasting basis (about one teaspoon per five quarts of blood). Following a meal your blood sugar levels naturally rise, as sugar, which is fuel for energy, is distributed around your body. This activity requires proper function of the hormones insulin and leptin. Once the...

Leptin is the single most important hormone that regulates your body weight. It is the boss of thyroid hormone, insulin, growth hormone, and adrenal hormones (like cortisol). Understanding leptin and working in harmony with it opens an entire new world of possibilities to maintain and attain optimal metabolic function. Leptin is known as the fat hormone...

Overweight individuals struggling to maintain healthy insulin function need high amounts of protein that is rich in branch chain amino acids, as well as higher amounts of soluble fiber. Both nutrients are needed beyond common levels of dietary recommendation, to prop up and stabilize the healthy function of insulin. High quality whey protein is the...

Adiponectin, like leptin, is a hormone made in your white adipose tissue. It has several properties that support healthy blood sugar metabolism. It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory in white adipose tissue to help keep white adipose tissue in a good state of fitness. It also signals your liver in a way that supports healthy insulin function. Adequate...

There is nothing quite like an autopsy to help prove a point. Japanese researchers have provided clear evidence that the common problem of insulin resistance leads to increased levels of plaque brain tangles in Alzheimer's patients.

First the researchers prove that insulin drugs used by type II diabetic patients increase the risk for cancer. Then the researchers try to explain why what they proved is no big deal – an apparent effort to escape the wrath of the insulin-prescribing medical profession.

Type 2 diabetes is a difficult metabolic problem. It is a national embarrassment that so many of our young people are becoming type 2 diabetic. It is a national disgrace that millions of type 2 diabetic patients are being injured with commonly used diabetic medications that are known to make their metabolic situation worse.

The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that was supposed to prove what drug strategy for diabetics works the best. The study participants took several common diabetes drugs along with varied insulin treatments (once, twice, or three times per day). The researchers were disappointed to find out that none of their strategies worked. The...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that insulin helps play a protective role against the toxicity of bacterial infection. This new angle on insulin function suggests that many people with insulin resistance may have elevated insulin due, at least in part, to fighting low-grade bacterial infections in their digestive tract or mouth. In...

The plot thickens. How simple it once was for endocrinologists to identify a few organs, like the thyroid, measure their hormones, and then prescribe hormone replacement when seemingly lacking in them. While this method may have been easier, it was often not very helpful in solving the obvious thyroid problems that many experience. In 1994 that simplicity...
