MitoQ Ltd, the company behind the antioxidant MitoQ, has just launched MitoQ Blood Sugar, a highly targeted variation of MitoQ's original molecule that is designed to support balanced blood sugar and insulin levels. Mitoquinol, the novel ingredient in MitoQ, was developed at Otago University, Dunedin. It is a third generation, patented, scientifically-proven form of CoQ10 antioxidant that targets mitochondria - also known as the body's cellular batteries.
These cellular batteries are responsible for providing the body with the chemical energy required to fight fatigue, ensure peak organ function and promote healthy aging. Blood Sugar imbalances are more prevalent in the aging population, but can also be caused by poor diet and lifestyle at any age, and can result in a multitude of significant complications and health issues down the track.
The breakthrough formula of the original MitoQ supplement is proven to be up to 847 times more powerful than regular CoQ10 supplements. More than a decade has been spent researching and developing the MitoQ range, which works by attaching a positive charge to CoQ10 - which is also the mitochondria's own natural antioxidant. This small change causes positively charged MitoQ to literally flood negatively charged mitochondria, thus restoring antioxidant capacity. Other sources of CoQ10 are unable to infiltrate the mitochondria and thus make a tangible difference. To-date, there are over 200 published research papers globally that detail MitoQ's effect.
Unbalanced blood sugar levels create oxidative stress on organs and cells, in turn causing mitochondrial damage, and thus a drop in energy levels and reduction in effective organ function. MitoQ Blood Sugar has been specifically developed to support blood sugar balance, and reduce the impact of oxidative stress on mitochondrial health, through a powerful, comprehensive formulation that combines the science and benefits of original MitoQ with blood sugar balancing nutrients Chromium, Cinnamon and Zinc. Chromium is needed to regulate blood glucose and help reduce sugar cravings. Research studies support intervention with chromium supplements to support healthy glucose metabolism. Chromium also supports energy production and weight management, and supports cardiovascular health and healthy cholesterol levels. Chromium is a commonly deficient mineral due to the high intake of refined and sugary foods in modern diets. Chromium Picolinate is the most effective form of Chromium to support blood sugar levels and is absorbed better than other forms. Zinc plays an important role in blood sugar metabolism. Zinc is involved in the production, storage and release of insulin from the pancreas. Zinc Amino Acid Chelate is a very good source of bioavailable zinc.
Recent studies have shown that cinnamon supports glucose metabolism at the cell receptor site. Supplementing the diet with concentrated, standardised cinnamon may support healthy blood sugar balance. Other studies show cinnamon helps support healthy cholesterol levels. Cinnamon is also a powerful antioxidant to help protect against the damaging effects of glucose on the cardiovascular and other body systems.
By supporting normal blood sugar balance and natural sugar metabolism, MitoQ Blood Sugar targets and protects the affected organs including the pancreas, kidneys, liver, eyes, brain and heart, and also supports macro and micro-vascular peripheral nerve and circulatory health.
