The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition Publishes a New Study on Salba

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition published research provides a possible explanation for Salba’s cardio protective effects observed in subject diabetics.

A recent study (Jan. 2010), lead by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan of St. Michael’s Hospital at the University of Toronto, assessed whether Salba® (Salvia hispanica L.) reduces postprandial glycemia in healthy subjects. The journal’s results demonstrated decrease in appetite and glycemic index and further provided a potential explanation for improvements in blood pressure, coagulation and inflammatory markers.

Research Shows Improvement for Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease

Long-term supplementation with Salba attenuated a major cardiovascular risk factor (SBP) and emerging factors (hs-CRP and vWF) safely beyond conventional therapy, while maintaining good glycemic and lipid control in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes.
