Mangosteen Research For Diabetics

This is some research by Dr Kay Davies, who has a PhD in Physiology

ONE WAY MANGOSTEEN REDUCES BLOOD SUGAR FOR DIABETICS

SUMMARY:

Mangosteen has been shown, in a recent laboratory study, to slow the breakdown of starch (carbohydrates) to sugar in the same way as the Diabetic drug, Acarbose (Brand names – Prandase or Precose). Slower breakdown of starch results in less sugar (glucose) in the blood immediately following eating. Additional studies have shown that Mangosteen is retained in the blood for up to 6 hours – maximum effectiveness occurs 1-3 hours after taking Mangosteen.

Thus, Diabetics are recommended to take their Mangosteen 1-3 hours prior to their largest meal, or with this meal. Mangosteen, taken at the correct time will also help non-Diabetics by reducing the extra strain excess sugar puts on the Pancreas. This extra strain on the Pancreas, in time, can lead to Diabetes.

DETAILS:

The Diabetic medication, Acarbose*, works by inhibiting the enzyme (Amylase) that is primarily responsible for the breakdown of Starch to Sugar ( Glucose).

A study** has shown that the one of the Xanthones in the Mangosteen Pericarp works in exactly the same way in our body as Acarbose.

Starch consists of unbranched glucose molecules (Amylose) and branched glucose molecules (Amylopectin). One of the Xanthones in the pericarp of Mangosteen inhibits the enzyme, Amylase. Amylase is inhibited with both Acarbose and Mangosteen, so that the amount of Starch broken down to Sugar from eating is greatly reduced. This means that the sugar level of Diabetics is lessened immediately after a meal. The starch in what was consumed is broken down more slowly over time, after Acarbose and Mangosteen disappear from a person’s blood.

Mangosteen works exactly the same way as Acarbose without any drug side effects.
For Diabetics, the best time to take Mangosteen is to take it within 1-3 hrs prior to eating, or with a meal. If a Diabetic is only taking one dose of Mangosteen, they should take their Mangosteen prior to their largest meal.

Non-Diabetics also benefit from taking Mangosteen. This is because diets which contain excess sugar put an unnecessary strain on the Beta cells in the pancreas. Over time, this excess strain has been shown to result in insulin resistance, leading to full blown Diabetes. Taking Mangosteen on a regular basis reduces the amount of sugar in the blood following meals high in carbohydrates and sugars, and thus prevents this strain on the pancreas.

Additional studies have shown that Mangosteen is retained in the blood stream for at least 6 hours – maximum effectiveness occurs in the first 1-3 hours.CONCLUSION

Mangosteen and the drug, Acarbose, both result in the slower breakdown of starch to sugar. This leads to everyone having less sugar in their blood following a meal. Less sugar to deal with means it is easier for Diabetics (and non-Diabetics) to move the sugar present in the blood into their cells – less insulin needs to be released and the sugar level remains closer to normal. Another benefit of taking Mangosteen versus Acarbose is there are no drug side-effects.

Video Conference Call With Ambassador Leader Brad Alkazin

Dear Vemma Member,

I wanted to personally introduce myself and let you know about the future expansion of Vemma, especially now with the launch of Verve !

My name is Brad Alkazin, I'm 22 years old and I live in southern California.

Not only have I been blessed physically as an athlete by being on Vemma for the last 3 years, seeing great results in my health and body day in and day out, but have seen tremendous results for my family, friends, and people I've introduced to the product.

Ranging from blood pressure dropping, cholesterol dropping, migraine headaches relieved, IBS, chronic fatigue and so much more. Also, I put weekly time and effort into the concept of sharing the product (the business) and have been able to build an income up to 8 thousand (US) per week.

Now with the launch of Verve, especially in Europe building the business is even that much easier. People already drink energy drinks, therefore they're loving the taste, health benefits, and more energy Verve is giving them!

Also, they can get paid to drink energy drinks now once they share it with family and friends, ect. Being that the energy drink market does 5 billion per year in sales, that's BILLION, I hope you realize how much potential lies in Verve and how we all can take action and benefit by being at the right place at the right time.

I extend my support to each and every one of you, now with some recent changes in Team Europe, I am able to be more of a leader and assist you in building your business.

I remember at a young age what took me to the top:

Staying plugged in and doing something positive everyday to build my business. Specifically being on the calls, at the meetings, sticking to how the leaders told me to build the business.

Having the attitude and desire for change in my life, and making the decision on how big I wanted my business to be and never quiting !

I encourage you to take advantage of a new video conference I will be hosting on Mondays at 9:15pm Holland time, where you can bring people onto that your sharing the product or opportunity with, and also get great training and tips to build your business even better.

The video conference will be held at url:

I also will begin to reach out to you and your team and assist in conference calls and meetings and even will be coming back to your area on a more regular basis, beginning in September to do meetings and help build your business.

I look forward to not only meeting you but working with you to build your business and take you to the top!

Have a great day, begin to take massive action, and see you on the video conference!

Sincerely,
Brad Alkazin
Ambassador Leader
