Nutrients for a healthy metabolism
A healthy metabolism is vital for our general well-being. The body's ability to process foods efficiently helps us to keep in good shape, with high energy levels and healthy cells. Diets that contain high levels of sugar and refined carbohydrates can lead to a high blood sugar level, the production of free radicals that attack the body's cells and long-term health problems. A low glycemic diet (one that releases sugar slowly into the body) combined with exercise and the correct nutritional support can help you keep your metabolism in shape.
Some of the key nutrients contained in the unique X-Vite dietary supplement are:

Alpha Lipoic Acid
A natural cell constituent shown in studies to enhance insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism and stabilise glucose levels. The body's ability to produce alpha lipoic acid decreases with age so the body burns glucose less efficiently if it is not supplemented.
Vitamin E
An important antioxidant, vitamin E helps combat free radicals resulting from excess glucose and has been shown to dramatically reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Excess blood sugar can lead to higher insulin levels which deplete levels of vitamin E in the body.
Vitamin B Complex
The B-complex vitamins are co-enzymes involved in energy production. They aid the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and help to maintain healthy cell function.
Vitamin C
It is thought that when cells become insulin resistant they also develop some vitamin C resistance. Research shows that supplementation can improve glucose tolerance.
Chromium
Chromium is the most important mineral for maintaining insulin function and controlling blood glucose. It is a co-factor in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Eating excessive amounts of sugar and refined carbohydrates can deplete chromium levels, as can age.
Zinc
Zinc is also instrumental in healthy glucose regulation and weight control. Food processing and modern agricultural practices mean that zinc deficiencies are increasingly common.
Magnesium
Without adequate magnesium levels in the body, insulin becomes less effective at moving glucose from the blood into the cells. Studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can improve insulin response and glucose handling.
Magnesium
Without adequate magnesium levels in the body, insulin becomes less effective at moving glucose from the blood into the cells. Studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can improve insulin response and glucose handling.
Manganese
A co-factor in key enzyme systems that help the body utilise vitamin C and some B vitamins to facilitate glucose metabolism.
Selenium
An important antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin E to protect the cells from the excessive free radicals generated by elevated glucose levels.

| Coleen helps Syndrome X awareness |
|
Former member of the famous Nolan Sisters who had seven Top 20 hits between 1979 and 1982, Coleen says she´s "delighted to help raise the profile of this serious condition.
"I feel very strongly that this is a condition that must not be ignored, given the devastating implications to people´s health. Sufferers must be made aware that there are steps they can take to help recovery".
She adds: "When I recognised the Syndrome X symptoms in myself I starting taking the X-Vite supplement and following the diet plan to ensure I´m not one of the two million that will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes later in life".
"It is a great relief to me to finally understand why I couldn´t lose weight, and why I always felt so tired. Since I started following the X-Vite plan I have already lost 8lbs and have so much more energy - it really is a shame that so many people are not receiving the help they need."
