Great Feedback from the Field

We are excited to share some great feedback from Jonathan, a Heath Professional from Washington, DC. Jonathan started off as a Preferred Customer; however, after trying nutraMetrix products himself, he began offering nutraMetrix products to his patients.

Since becoming a distributor for nutraMetrix, Jonathan says he was struck by two things: first, that he can offer alternatives to prescription drugs when clinically appropriate, and second, other health professionals are very interested in his findings.



Many of my patients had expressed a desire for a natural alternative to
their prescription medications, and before nutraMetrix, I never had an option
for them.

Jonathan’s story is an example of how nutraMetrix products can be beneficial to every type of health professional. nutraMetrix is getting more exposure each day and proving to be a leader in advanced nutraceuticals.

We encourage everyone to write in and tell us about your success stories. Email us at nutraMetrix@nutraMetrix.com or comment below!

Resveratrol improves insulin sensitivity in type-2 diabetics.

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found in a variety of vegetation such as grapes (skins) and Japanese knotweed, has been the focus of many studies over the last several years. Believed to affect a wide variety of processes within the body, resveratrol has been shown to produce many health related benefits. A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition (April 2011) reported a positive affect on insulin resistance and oxidative stress in humans.. Researchers recruited 19 (male) type-2 diabetics to receive a supplement containing 10 mg of resveratrol or placebo daily, for 4 weeks. When compared with the placebo group, those receiving resveratrol showed significant improvements in insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels, as well as delayed appearances of glucose peaks after test meals. Though more research is necessary to solidify resveratrol’s importance in combating high blood glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity, this is the first study in humans to demonstrate that it does have some application this effect.
