Re: can i save my diabetic mom's vision??
had some great suggestions. I prefer GTF Chromium myself
"GTF" is not a singular chromium. It is actually a term for several forms of chromium including the chromium polynicotinate I recommended.
, and I would strongly urge consideration of Pycnogenol - Pycnogenol is a powerful antioxidant derived from French maritime pine tree bark
It is actually a flavonoid found in numerous plants including ginkgo biloba.
and the subject of more than 180 studies over 35 years which has been shown to reduce high blood pressure, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose without affecting insulin levels. Of particular note is its ability to reduce leakage into the retina by repairing capillaries in the eyes.
Many flavonoids, particularly rutin, have this property.
While still largely unknown to American doctors, Pycnogenol is the leading prescription for diabetic retinopathy in France.
