Thorne Diabenil

Diabenil contains a comprehensive blend of botanicals and nutrients to support healthy blood sugar levels and help protect nerves, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys.

Gymnema sylvestre supports already normal blood sugar levels.

Momordica charantia (bitter melon) appears to enhance glucose utilization and depress glucose synthesis in the liver.

Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) contains flavonoids that appear to support ocular tissue.

 These flavonoids and quercetin strengthen blood vessels and help maintain healthy connective tissues.

Quercetin – in a Thorne-exclusive phytosome for optimal absorption – also inhibits the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, which can otherwise accumulate in the lens of the eye and in the kidneys and nerves.

Lipoic acid can significantly reduce lipid peroxidation of nerve tissue.

Chromium picolinate and vanadyl sulfate are included to help maintain already normal hemoglobin A1C levels.

Gymnema sylvestre, a plant native to India, has been used medicinally for more than 2,000 years. Its effect on supporting blood glucose levels has been widely studied since the 1930s.* It can also help maintain already normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Momordica charantia (bitter melon) is a botanical commonly grown in China, India, and Africa. Its active ingredients include charantin and a substance known as p-insulin (plant insulin), which resembles bovine insulin in its structure and function.

In supporting eye health, the anthocyanoside flavonoids in Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) are particularly supportive of retina health.

Lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant in both water-soluble and fat-soluble mediums. Like quercetin, lipoic acid has been shown to inhibit the conversion of glucose to sorbitol.

Quercetin Phytosome
An antioxidant flavonoid that supports balanced immune function, inflammatory response, and histamine release*
Quercetin is a flavonoid found in many plant-based foods – onions having the highest amount. Other fruits and vegetables that contain significant amounts of quercetin include apples, berries, grapes, and green leafy vegetables. As ubiquitous as quercetin is in nature, it also has wide-ranging benefits in the body. One important actions is to strengthen mast cell membranes (a type of white blood cell), which down-regulates the release of histamine, providing nutritional support for skin sensitivity (like hives) and seasonal allergies.* Quercetin also has important antioxidant activities and supports balanced immune function and inflammatory response – all of which provide benefit for respiratory health, athletic performance, healthy aging, and more.

New research is emerging that supports quercetin’s role in healthy aging.* Quercetin is the first natural substance to be identified as a senolytic – a substance that clears worn out, dysfunctional cells (senescent cells) from the body.*Senescent cells have been identified as a major contributor to the aging process.
