Yea,

 

Top 3 natural supplements for these that are sustainable long term?

 

How does this sound?

 

1-Carnosine-Glycation

2-Berberine-Blood Sugar

3-Bergamot-Cholesterol (with a cycling of Niacin as well)

 

Okay????

Personally I take Carnosine and Berberine.  I have only tried testing Berberine on blood sugar levels.  It didn't seem to reduce them and may have increased them.  However, my blood sugar levels are quite low.  I intend to do some more tests whilst running CGM, but I have not flagged up carnosine to test in those.

Carnosine is for Glycation and I take that also.

 

But Berberine has been extensively shown to mimic the effects of Metformin and in some cases, doing an even better job of it.

This is where the question of bioavailability comes in.  All I can say is that it did not appear to benefit my own blood sugar, but I only really had about 6 days comparative data to go on.  Hence I need really to test it again for a longer period 3 days on and 3 days off.  I also need to be more consistent with my alcohol drinking as that does have some effects on blood sugar.

 

My lunches and breakfasts tend to be quite consistent, but I need to look at the sugar profile of dinner.  To be fair I should be reducing the number of meals as well.

Try it for a few months then get tested.
