Stabilizing Blood Glucose--

It's Good for Everyone

 

Greetings!  

 

While the stabilization of fasting blood glucose levels typically brings to mind the diabetic condition and the complications therein, even non-diabetic persons can benefit from stabilization of glucose levels. 

Wild swings in glucose blood levels can cause sugar cravings, sleeplessness, promotes AGE products and causes general damage to the cells, even in "normal" persons.  In diabetic persons, the very high levels of glucose and very low levels of glucose are the biggest risk factors for health. 

A protein that helps to stabilize blood glucose levels is manufactured by activating the Foxo3a gene.  Increasing the activity of the Foxo3a gene in the liver tissue leads to more of this important protein and better glucose stabilization. 

Our studies show that a calorie restricted diet can increase the activity of the Foxo3a gene by 100% in the liver tissues of mice.  Calorie restriction also has many beneficial health effects, including the elimination of Type II diabetes (primate studies), a reduction in cancer incidence, and increases in average and maximal lifespan.  Unfortunately, calorie restriction is very difficult to maintain over a lifetime.   Interestingly, benaGene-- a calorie restriction mimetic-- also increases the activity of the Foxo3a gene by nearly the same amount as calorie restriction. 

The result of this gene activation is a marked reduction in the "swing" in glucose levels.  In both non-diabetic patients, with no glucose issues and diabetic patients, the amplitude of the "swing" in glucose levels -- the distance from the lowest point to the highest point as seen on a graph of their daily glucose levels-- is reduced in both types of persons by over 50%.  This is substantial !

Here is what one benaGene user reported:

"I recorded my blood glucose and it appears to me that benaGene helps eliminate dips and caps the peaks.  Even on a guy who has no issues - it just feels better, less hunger and less snacking.  I normally eat a low carb diet (holidays excepted), but with the benaGene and my normal diet blood glucose just would not rise much at all.  For the non-DM crowd I believe the real benefit is avoidance of the dips, which cause snacking and guilt and weight gain.  break the cycles- that's key.....This is a great product".  ---- Carl Henderson

 

In short, stabilizing glucose levels is a good thing for all of us.

 

benaGene brand oxaloacetate provides 100 times the normal amount of oxaloacetate that is received in a typical diet.  Supplementation with this natural human metabolite provides a mechanism to positively modify enzyme response to mimic a calorie restricted metabolic state.

About benaGene

benaGene BottlebenaGene is a new concept in nutritional supplements.  Composed of Vitamin C and the natural human metabolite oxaloacetate in order to mimic a calorie restricted state, benaGene positively affects gene expression. benaGene has been proven to increase the lifespan of laboratory animals by  25%  (p << 0.001).

You can benefit with benaGene by providing glucose system support in addition to receiving the anti-aging benefits.  A powerful natural AMPK activator, oxaloacetate has been shown to lower fasting glucose levels in a clinical trial.  Additionally, benaGene is an excellent choice after a diet in order to reduce weight rebound as benaGene down-regulates the genes that produce and store fat (by approximately 50%, animal studies).

benaGene is available from your anti-aging doctor or from our website store at www.benaGene.com
Thank you for your interest in benaGene.  For more information, go to our information web site at www.benaGene.com.  If you have any questions concerning this dietary supplement, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.  Whereas we do not provide medical advice, we can provide you with the references and research we have done in regards to oxaloacetic acid supplementation.  We have tremendous science behind benaGene, but the science will not help anyone if benaGene is not used. Please help us to spread the word about this unique dietary supplement.
