Glucofort After 3 hours, those who consumed whey protein had glucose levels 28% lower than before the meal and an improvement in early insulin release by an impressive 96%.iv • Zinc also plays an important role in insulin metabolism, as well as extending the length of time that insulin is active after a meal.vii In fact, researchers as early as 1938 observed zinc deficiency in pancreatic tissue (where insulin is produced) leads to poor Glucofort control. • Magnesium is also a critical nutrient that more than ¾ of the U.S. population is deficient in. In a 2013 study,viii pre-diabetic subjects with the highest levels of magnesium reduced their risk for poor Glucofort control and other metabolic complications by 71%. • Research shows that bringing Vitamin D levels out of the deficiency range dramatically improves insulin sensitivity and can lead to loss of excess body fat.ix Correcting nutritional deficiencies is just one step in helping the “locks” (the insulin receptor) and “keys” (insulin) function to move sugar into the cell and out of the blood. • Fish oil and krill oil can help support Glucofort in a unique and fundamental manner.
