antioxidants to promote balanced blood sugar levels and optimal health throughout the day in people
with diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Specially formulated with our Aminokel• ® Minerals, which offer
higher absorption and easier digestion by the body when
compared to other mineral forms.
200 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid a day has been shown to •
improve glucose transport and metabolism.
Contains a very complete dosage of key B Vitamins including •
Biotin (Vitamin B7) which has been used to improve blood
sugar control and treat neuropathy in diabetics.
Welcome to Wellness!
Ingredient Amount Benefi ts
Vitamin A 3,500 IU Prevents or fi ghts off infections. Essential in maintaining healthy eyesight and bones.
Vitamin C 90 mgStudies have shown that vitamin C supplementation improved glycemic control, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides. Acts as an effective antioxidant to help prevent disease. Essential for proper wound healing. Vitamin C reduces sorbitol in the accumulating within the cell and the risk of diabetic complications, including cataracts.
Calcium Aminokel® 100 mg Essential for healthy bones and teeth. Promotes a healthy heart and nervous system.
Vitamin D3 400IU Plays a role in the secretion of insulin by the pancreas, thus aiding in the regulation of blood sugar. Involved in the regulation of the immune system.
Vitamin E 30 IU A powerful antioxidant which protects cells against free radicals.
Thiamin 1.5 mg Restoring normal thiamin levels in diabetics who are defi cient leads to improvements in blood sugar metabolism. Thiamin is essential for a healthy brain and nervous system.
Ribofl avin 1.7 mg Plays a key role in the production of energy from food. Necessary for a healthy immune system. Essential for a healthy nervous system and brain.
Niacin 20 mg Nicotinic acid is part of the glucose tolerance factor, a compound which enhances the body’s response to insulin.
Vitamin B6 2 mg Used to treat diabetic neuropathy and low blood sugar.
Folate (Folic Acid) 400 mcg Essential for healthy red blood cells, immune and digestive system.
Vitamin B12 6 mcg Maintains healthy nerve cells, blood cells, skin and hair.
Biotin 100 mcgBiotin supplements may help to improve blood glucose control in diabetics by enhancing insulin sensitivity. Biotin aids in metabolism of macronutrients and glucose utilization and is benefi cial in diabetic neuropathy.
Pantothenic Acid 10 mg Breaks down fats and carbohydrates for energy
Iodine 150 mcg Essential for normal metabolism, growth and development.
Magnesium Aminokel® 100 mg Magnesium plays a role in the insulin mediated uptake of glucose into cells, and defi ciency may worsen control of diabetes.
Zinc Aminokel® 11 mg Zinc supplementation improves glucose tolerance. Essential for detoxifi cation of chemicals.
Selenium Aminokel® 55 mcg A selenium defi ciency may reduce insulin secretion. Selenium is a trace mineral with antioxidant properties.
Manganese Aminokel® 2.3 mg Diabetics often have low manganese levels which may contribute to abnormal blood sugar regulation.
Chromium Aminokel® 120 mcgEssential for normal sugar and fat metabolism. Chromium defi ciency is common in people with diabetes and can lead to low blood sugar levels.
Potassium 80 mg Supports a healthy heart and blood vessels. Essential for protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
Alpha Lipoic Acid 200 mgALA is an important coenzyme with antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Lowers blood glucose and insulin levels, reduces insulin resistance, and improves insulin sensitivity.
Lutein 2 mg An antioxidant that helps to protect the body against heart disease, cancer, eye damage and other disorders.
Vanadium 50 mcg Has been shown in studies, to mimic the effects of insulin and reduce blood sugar levels from high to normal.
2-A-Day Multivitamin Formula Ingredient Breakdown
Packed with 600 mg of the key antioxidant Alpha
Lipoic Acid, and 120 mg of our highly absorbable
Chromium Aminokel®, this once a day capsule, is
designed to help promote and maintain healthy
blood glucose levels in people with diabetes and
pre-diabetes. Research shows that Chromium may
aid in lowering blood sugar levels, while, Alpha Lipoic
Acid is an important coenzyme with antioxidant and
antidiabetic properties that speeds up the body’s
ability to burn glucose.
Ingredient Amount Benefi ts
Chromium Aminokel® 120 mcgEssential for normal sugar and fat metabolism. Chromium defi ciency is common in people with diabetes and can lead to low blood sugar levels.
Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mgALA is an important coenzyme with antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Lowers blood glucose and insulin levels, reduces insulin resistance, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Ingredient Breakdown
Blood Sugar Care
Blood Sugar Care contains a blend of high quality extracts – Gymnema and Bitter Melon – along with our amino acid chelated Chromium Aminokel®. This convenient once daily tablet is designed to help promote and maintain healthy blood sugar levels in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes.
• Bitter Melon, while best known for its link to lower blood sugar levels, may also have antiviral, anticancer and cholesterol lowering properties.
• Studies suggest that Gymnema Sylvestre may help in blood sugar control by improving insulin production.
• Our highly absorbable Chromium Aminokel® is an essential mineral for normal sugar metabolism and has been linked with lower insulin, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels.
Ingredient Amount Benefi ts
Chromium Aminokel® 120 mcg Essential for normal sugar and fat metabolism. Chromium defi ciency is common in people with diabetes and can lead to low blood sugar levels.
Gymnema Sylvestre 600 mgLong used in traditional Indian medicine as a treatment for diabetes, Gymnema has been shown to help in blood sugar control, possibly by improving insulin production.
Bitter Melon 200 mg
Bitter melon, also known as balsam pear, is a tropical vegetable widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and South America, and has been used extensively in folk medicine as a remedy for diabetes. The blood sugar lowering action of the fresh juice or extract of the unripe fruit has been clearly established in both experimental and clinical studies.
Chelation is a chemical process in which amino acid molecules are bonded to a mineral ion, creating a
stable and more soluble mineral ingredient. Aminokel® Chelated Minerals are able to travel through the
digestive system into the bloodstream with greater ease, resulting in a higher rate of absorption.
“Chelation is simply the process whereby an organic free form amino acid picks up a molecule of a mineral, wraps it within its structure, making it easier for organic organisms then to absorb it. Chelated minerals are far superior in bioavailability than the salts which have low absorption.”
By Dr. Neil D. Ross, Ph D in Pharmacy
A) The WellnessChoice® supplement tablets containing Aminokel® chelated minerals are ingested.
B) Aminokel® minerals pass through the digestive tract and are practically unaffected by the acidic pH of the stomach because they are less reactive than traditional mineral salts, which are typically poorly absorbed by the body.
C) Once past the intestinal wall, the Aminokel® mineral reaches the point of absorption located in the small intestine. Here it is effi ciently broken down and the nutrients are carried throughout the body by the bloodstream.

Chelated Mineral Non-Chelated Mineral
Absorption of Iron
According to laboratory studies using iron
marked with radioactive isotopes, part
of the iron is hydrolyzed upon entering
the intestinal wall and part is absorbed
unchanged by the mucosa cells in the
jejunum. Inside the intestinal wall, the
chelate is effi ciently hydrolyzed and used
in a similar way to inorganic iron salts.
Regulation is the same as for iron from
other inorganic sources, so that body iron
reserves regulate the absorption. In other
words, depending how much iron the body
needs determines how much it will absorb.
The limiting step in absorption is passing
through the membrane of the intestinal
wall, which is more effective for the iron
amino acid chelate, than for any other type of iron known to date.
