Page 22 - BIO REX PAPAYA English

Nutritional recommendations for the prevention of diabetes

have included modest weight loss, increased fiber intake, the

incorporation of functional foods in the diet, such as green tea

catechins, pycnogenols, legumes, fruits, vegetables, spices,

condiments that impact insulin action. In addition,

supplementation with Fermented Papaya has been suggested.

Indeed, research have shown that that oral supplementation

of Bio Rex Papaya may cause a significant decrease in plasma

sugar levels in both healthy subjects and type-2 diabetic

patients (Danese et al., 2006). In a study conducted in 2

diabetic patients (Danese et al., 2006). In a study conducted in

the laboratory of Professor Sen and reported in Collard and

Roy (2010), it was sought to establish if there is improved

function of diabetic wound-site macrophages and

accelerated wound closure in response to oral

supplementation of fermented papaya to diabetic mice. It was

found that fermented papaya attenuated the gain in blood

glucose (confirming the results of Danese et al., 2006) and

improved the lipid profile after 8 weeks of oral

supplementation but there was no influential weight gain

during the supplementation period.
