Insulin Resistance - Treatments
These Substances may Decrease Insulin Resistance (i.e. Increase Insulin Sensitivity)
Alkaloids
Berberine may reduce Insulin Resistance. [1]
Long-term use of Ephedrine may reduce Insulin Resistance (i.e. it increases the sensitivity of Insulin Receptors to the effects of Insulin).
Amino Acids
Arginine may reduce Insulin Resistance. [2]
Leucine may be useful for increasing Insulin sensitivity in persons with Insulin Resistance. [3]
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) may help to reduce Insulin Resistance. [4]
Taurine may reduce Insulin Resistance. [5]
Carbohydrates
Dietary Fiber may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [6]
Guar Gum may reduce Insulin Resistance. [7]
Glucomannan may reduce Insulin Resistance. [8]
Carotenoids
Crocetin may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [9]
Hormones
Low levels of Adiponectin are associated with increased Insulin Resistance (increased levels of Adiponectin may increase Insulin sensitivity). [10]
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) may reduce Insulin Resistance (by increasing the sensitivity of Cells to Insulin). [11]
Melatonin may increase Insulin sensitivity in persons with Insulin Resistance. [12]
Testosterone may prevent/treat Insulin Resistance in men. [13]
Lipids
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [14]
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) helps to prevent Insulin Resistance. [15]
Gamma Oryzanol may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [16]
Guggulipid may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [17]
Omega-3 Fatty Acids may help to prevent Insulin Resistance (by improving the actions of Insulin). [18]
Alpha-Linolenic Acid (LNA) may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [19]
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [20]
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [21]
Minerals
Calcium may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [22]
Chromium (especially the Chromium Picolinate or Polynicotinate forms of Chromium) (400 - 800 mcg per day) may decrease Insulin Resistance. [23]
Insulin Resistance may occur as a result of Magnesium deficiency. [24]
Potassium may help to prevent Insulin Resistance (it increases Insulin sensitivity). [25]
Selenium may help to prevent Insulin Resistance. [26]
Vanadium (especially the Vanadyl Sulfate form of Vanadium) may decrease Insulin Resistance. [27]
Zinc deficiency may increase the risk of Insulin Resistance. [28]
Neurotransmitters
Impaired Nitric Oxide production may cause Insulin Resistance. [29]
Organic Acids
Pyruvic Acid may decrease Insulin Resistance. [30]
Salicylic Acid (1,000 mg per day) may help to prevent fat-induced Insulin Resistance in Skeletal Muscle. [31]
Peptides
Carnitine (2,000 mg per day) may decrease Insulin Resistance. [32]
Prescribed Medications
Metformin (a Pharmaceutical Drug utilized in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus) may decrease Insulin Resistance. [33]
Polyphenols
Curcumin may decrease Insulin Resistance. [34]
MHCP may help to prevent and treat Insulin Resistance (by mimicking the function of Insulin and enhancing the effects of Insulin). [35]
