Can NMN or Resveratrol help with Type 2 Diabetes?
Before we look into how NMN and Resveratrol can help with Type 2 Diabetes, let’s first take a look at what it is.
Type 2 Diabetes, once called “adult-onset Diabetes”, is a condition that develops for a variety of reasons. Once thought to be exclusive to advanced aged adults, cases are rising at an alarming rate among young adults and even children due to lifestyle and increased prevalence of obesity among these age groups.
Insulin is produced in the pancreas. It regulates blood sugar levels and allows sugar to enter your cells to be used as energy.
When we become diabetic, the process by which the body turns glucose (a type of sugar) into energy does not work efficiently. It doesn’t enter the cells properly and builds up in the blood, causing the pancreas to over-produce insulin. After a time, these cells become damaged and the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to effectively pull glucose out of the bloodstream and into the cells to be converted to energy. If left unmanaged, high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance begins to adversely affect our circulatory, immune and nervous systems.
There is no cure for Type 2 Diabetes, but it can go into remission. This means that by aggressive lifestyle changes, the affects of Type 2 Diabetes can be managed, even reversed, but it will always be present.
Obvious changes are weightloss (if needed), diet and exercise. However, these aren’t the only things that may help avoid Type 2 Diabetes if you are pre-diabetic or at risk or help manage it once it’s been diagnosed.
Laboratory studies show that there was partial reversal in diet-induced insulin resistance with resveratrol supplementation, as well as pancreatic support in genetically predisposed subjects. There were measurable improvements in transporting glucose into skeletal muscle as well as insulin signaling in the liver.
There is also compelling evidence that nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN, can play a key role in slowing and even reversing Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes increases in severity with age, due to a decrease in NAD+, NMN helps support the pancreas and genetic expression by boosting NAD+ levels. These functions of NMN can in turn bolster impaired glucose tolerance and allows the body to convert glucose into energy more efficiently.
