People with diabetes are at risk of various health complications, including muscle atrophy. A new study suggests taking tocotrienols can help increase skeletal muscle weight and prevent muscle atrophy. For this study, which was published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, researchers looked at tocotrienols (vitamin E) derived from the red-orange tropical fruit known as annatto. Researchers … Continue reading Preventing muscle atrophy in those with diabetes: Animal study reveals tocotrienols can increase skeletal muscle weight
The hepatoprotective, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-diabetic properties of spirulina
A study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that spirulina is beneficial to people with diabetes. In this study, researchers from the University of Western Brittany in France explored the hepatoprotective, antihyperglycemic, and antidiabetic properties of spirulina. The researchers looked at the effects of spirulina supplementation on diabetic rats. They hypothesized that supplementation with spirulina could help treat diabetes and … Continue reading The hepatoprotective, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-diabetic properties of spirulina
