Diabetics benefit from taking Vitamin C

It is very important to maintain a healthy blood sugar level, rather than an elevated one. Elevated blood sugar can damage the blood vessels. Therefore, maintaining a healthy blood sugar level can help maintain healthy blood vessels.


Diabetics can benefit from Vitamin C intake. In a recent diabetic study, normalizing the blood sugar with insulin therapy was not enough to repair the damage that was done to the blood vessels. However, when Vitamin C was given in addition to the therapy, the blood vessels were better!

Since high-sugar foods like fruits contain Vitamin C, ensuring that diabetics receive enough Vitamin C daily to promote heart health can be challenging when maintaining a healthy blood sugar level with diet. Since elevated blood sugar and not getting enough Vitamin C can jeopardize the health of the arteries, getting enough Vitamin C and lowering the blood sugar may be one of the most important things that diabetics can do to help their arteries.

Res-Q products can help maintain arterial health. When used as part of the diet, Res-Q 105 Max is an all-natural supplement that can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.
