Can America's 24 million diabetics look forward to some good news during National Diabetes Month this November?

Yes, says Salba Smart, which produces food products made from - Salba® - "Nature's Perfect Whole Food".





Recent clinical research has revealed the health potential of Salba grain in the dietary management of Type 2 diabetes. While there is no cure for diabetes, clinical trials show that the dietary addition of Salba can assist in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in Type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Vladimir Vuksan, Professor of Endocrinology and Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine , investigated Salba in randomized, acute and long-term studies.

In the studies, Salba reduced after-meal blood glucose and plasma insulin levels, compared to controls. In a long term trial (12 weeks), - Supplementation of Conventional Therapy With the Novel Grain Salba (Salvia hispanica L.) Improves Major and Emerging Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetes[2]- Salba reduced blood pressure, the major cardiovascular risk factor in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and proved to be effective with respect to reduction in inflammation and coagulation factors.

"Due to its extremely high content of Omega-3 fatty acids, a nutrient rich composition, and results of preliminary clinical trials, Salba creates exceptional possibilities for the improvement of human health and nutrition. Salba can be considered the perfect functional food," said Dr. Vuksan, chief investigator of clinical studies on Salba.
