At the recent American Diabetes Association Science Conference in Orlando Florida, Albert Einstein Medical College presented the results of two human trials using resveratrol, a compound isolated from red grapes, called Biotivia Transmax, in place of Avandia.
Transmax, the particular type of resveratrol used in a number of human clinical trials over the past three years, performed extraordinarily well in lowering blood glucose, improving glucose tolerance, increasing insulin sensitivity and enhancing mitochondrial function in pre-diabetic patients, all with no adverse effects or toxicity.
Albert Einstein Medical College was recently awarded a grant by the NIH to expand the trial with a larger subject base over a longer period of treatment in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. It may be time this safe and reasonably cheap natural compound be taken seriously by all type 2 diabetes sufferers.
