Integrative Therapeutics, Green Bay, WI, has added Glycation Manager to its portfolio of natural therapies. This unique formulation was designed to slow the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) associated with normal metabolism and aging.
Glycation is a common enzymatic reaction where simple sugars interact with proteins or fats to produce AGEs. While glycation is a normal part of the aging process, hereditary factors, health status and dietary choices can accelerate AGE accumulation. Reducing glycation can help support glucose metabolism and cellular aging.
According to the company, Glycation Manager features clinically-studied levels of benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, chromium and biotin, which has been shown to help support healthy levels of HbA1c and fructosamine, two important indicators of glycation.
