What is it and what is it used for? El Naturalista Naturbetes is a nutritional supplement based on natural extracts of walnut and nettle. The leaves of these plants contain varying amounts of tannins, flavonoids, essential oils and mineral salts that promote general well-being and help regulate blood sugar levels. Tannins are compounds that act directly on alpha-glucosidase (the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of D-glucose terminals) and inhibit it, thus reducing the absorption of carbohydrates by the digestive system. Similarly, the flavonoids in these plants help control blood glucose levels by increasing cellular sensitivity to insulin, thus enhancing the hormones ability to absorb and regulate blood sugar. Due to the properties of these natural ingredients, they have been traditionally used as a supplement in blood sugar control diets for people with type 2 diabetes. It is emphasized that maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and a controlled diet is essential before, during and after taking these capsules to favorably regulate glucose metabolism.
