BLUTZUCKER Complex - Capsules

What is a normal blood sugar level?

Before we introduce you to the ingredients in our BLUTZUCKER complex, we will provide you with information on what a normal blood sugar level is.

Blood sugar refers to the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Our body uses (and needs) glucose as an energy source for all its processes. Blood glucose levels fluctuate constantly throughout the day. It is usually at its lowest in the morning after getting up, as we have not supplied the body with any new sugar in the form of carbohydrates overnight. It rises rapidly shortly after a meal. However, other factors, such as exercise (walking, sport), cause the level to fall again. In this way, the blood glucose concentration always levels out again - as long as everything is within a healthy range.

You should ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you often feel tired and lacking in energy, especially after meals?
• Do you often have cravings, especially for sweets?
• Do you have a family history of blood sugar problems or diabetes?

If you can answer "yes" to these questions, then it may make sense to measure your sugar levels regularly before serious illnesses develop. The values are given either in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or millimoles per liter (mmol/l). The following normal values apply for adults:

• On an empty stomach: < 100 mg/dl or 3.6 - 5.6 mmol/l
• 2 hours after eating: < 140 mg/dl or 4.5 - 7.0 mmol/l

Type 2 diabetes - a widespread health problem

The causes of persistently high blood sugar levels are usually a combination of various factors such as

• the long-term nature of the diet
• the regularity of exercise
• being overweight,
• genetic predisposition.

The consequences can be Diabetes mellitus a collective term for various types of diabetes. In the most common type 2 diabetes, the hormone insulin does not work properly - the body builds up a kind of resistance to insulin.

The thing about insulin resistance ...

The hormone insulin is needed to absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood into the cells and use it as energy. In people with reduced insulin sensitivity or even insulin resistance, the cells are less able to use insulin effectively, resulting in too much glucose remaining in the blood.

This condition not only triggers a lack of energy, but also a constant feeling of hunger. In turn, overeating, especially of carbohydrate-rich foods, causes blood sugar levels to shoot up even higher. This is a cycle that needs to be broken before the next stage is reached: Diabetes - because this can no longer be reversed.

BLUTZUCKER complex with myo-inositol

Inositols, formerly known as "vitamin B8", are the precursors of the secondary messenger substances of insulin.

Myo-inositol, found in Vitactiv's BLUTZUCKER Complex, has been well studied for its potential benefits in improving insulin resistance in people with impaired glucose tolerance. Among other things, it was found that a lack of inositol worsens insulin sensitivity and thereby increases oxidative glycation stress.

Conversely, this means that When glucose levels are elevated, the need for inositol is also higher.¹

If insulin sensitivity is improved, body cells can react better to insulin and absorb glucose more effectively. This helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Capsules with real Ceylon cinnamon

Cinnamon capsules have now established themselves on the market as natural blood sugar level reducers.* The spice contains bioactive compounds that facilitate the uptake of glucose into the cells and can therefore contribute to normal blood sugar levels - in particular to a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar.²

Cassia cinnamon, which mostly comes from China, contains a high proportion of the critical ingredient coumarin. When buying cinnamon supplements, you should therefore make sure that they contain high-quality Ceylon cinnamon - as in our BLUTZUCKER capsules. This naturally has such a low coumarin content that, according to experts, it is negligible. It goes without saying that each product batch is also subjected to comprehensive quality control.

Positive studies on the dietary fiber beta-glucan

Beta-glucans (also known as ß-glucans) are also contained in the blood sugar complex. These are soluble dietary fibers that occur naturally in the cell walls of cereals such as oats. Data from studies show that they can improve the glycaemic index of meals and thus have a positive effect on glucose metabolism^.3

They achieve this by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates - more precisely, the enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose molecules. As a result, glucose only enters the bloodstream gradually, which should reduce blood sugar spikes after eating.

Other ingredients: olive leaf, zinc and chromium

Do you also like olives? Or do you prefer olive oil to other vegetable oils? Olives are not only delicious, but also healthy. They contain polyphenols such as oleuropein. However, the highest amounts of oleuropein, which is considered an antioxidant, are found in the leaves of the olive tree. Although they are available in the form of tea, they are not particularly popular due to their strong, bitter taste.

In the BLUTZUCKER complex from Vitactiv, on the other hand, you cannot taste the olive leaf extract. And thanks to its gentle processing, it contains a very high oleuropein content of 40 %.

To support the normalization of blood sugar levels, the two trace elements chromium and zinc are also included. As chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels,* the chromium content of one capsule corresponds to 100% of the recommended daily dose.

In addition, both chromium and zinc perform another crucial task in the body: they help to ensure that macronutrients are metabolized normally.* In addition to fats and proteins, the three macronutrients include carbohydrates.
