Vitamin and mineral combinations for the treatment of syndrome X and non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM)

摘要

This invention relates to the use of novel combinations of vitamins and minerals to give a product which has the action of either a direct reaction with the insulin receptor in NIDDM patients to facilitate the receptor's interaction with the circulating insulin in the human body, or acts to increase the action of appropriate enzymes in the NIDDM patients to provide in vivo the ingredients required to restore the functioning of the insulin receptor site. The product of the invention, which is composed of mixtures of specific metallic cations and non-metallic elements to which certain vitamins may be added, not only acts to slow down the development of NIDDM when Syndrome X has started, but also can treat successfully those who have developed NIDDM and help those of more advanced NIDDM when the insulin production is deteriorating.
