Nutraceutical is a term that describes a number of biologically active phytochemical substances found naturally in living plant materials. When isolated and concentrated these phytochemicals (phytonutrients) have been found to help ameliorate certain specific disease conditions.

Current research has discovered that the health benefits of these natural bioactive nutraceutical isolates are largely due to their antioxidant capacity in helping protect the body’s cells against oxidation and free radical damage that reduces the body’s capacity to fight disease conditions.

Nutraceutical medical foods are those that contain naturally derived phytonutrient ingredients that have been clinically tested and scientifically documented to help reduce certain specific disease risks, and/or manage certain specific disease conditions.

The Food and Drug Administration considers these clinically documented products to be qualified for administration by physicians and certified health care professionals.

The use of nutraceuticals to achieve a desirable therapeutic result, without the side effects often associated with pharmaceuticals, has gained widespread acceptance in recent years.

Nearly two-thirds of all Americans now consume at least one nutraceutical product. Alternative therapy increasingly has become more mainstream among healthcare professionals in helping manage certain specific disease conditions like hyperglycemia (diabetes), hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia and obesity.

As healthcare costs have continued to rise, and insurance providers have become more restrictive in healthcare coverage, integrative health care practices have continued to gain acceptance.

Diabatrol®, by Diabco Life Sciences, is a proprietary nutraceutical formulation developed specifically for helping manage blood glucose levels (hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic) among individuals diagnosed with prediabetic or early stage type 2 diabetic condition.

The bioactive nutraceutical ingredients in Diabatrol® have been clinically tested and scientifically documented for compliance under the U.S. Dietary Supplements, Health and Education Act for all health claims made.
