A condition called insulin resistance is very common today. Processed food, physical inactivity, too many snacks, and stress can be the main cause of it. If you are one of the people who struggle with this and want to make your health better you should learn a few things about it. So you can find more about this condition at this link: What is insulin resistance? But what about the main supplements for insulin resistance? Here’s some advice!
Supplements that are good if you have insulin resistance:
- Omega-3 fatty acids – improve insulin sensitivity (benefit mitochondrial activity by increasing oxidation, reducing lipid accumulation and ROS)
- Berberine– reduces insulin resistance (proliferates insulin β cells, reduces fat storage, reduces blood glucose and HbA1c-hemoglobin that combine glucose)
- Chromium– regulates glucose, reduces insulin, and free testosterone so it’s a perfect fit for PCOS too
- Magnesium – Magnesium deficiency increases insulin resistance (involved in the process with insulin receptors and deficiency can cause inflammation)
- Zinc – a lot of studies have shown that a lack of zinc can affect insulin resistance symptoms
- Inositol – reduces hyperinsulinemia and glycemia, an awesome product for PCOS too
- Turmeric – reduces inflammation in the body that can cause insulin resistance
- Apple cider vinegar – manages glucose spikes, detoxifies the liver, and brings back insulin sensitivity
- Probiotics – help with the microbiome in the intestine and benefit all absorption, regulate glycemia and HbA1c
Those are some main supplements you should consider when you want to reverse many symptoms of insulin resistance. Of course, you should consult your medical doctor about using these things and choose some of them. Always think about using food that is very rich in these things. Choose low glycemic index food and try to be active as much as you can.
