Who should consult a doctor before taking Diabekan? — Fortex Diabekan 490 mg, 30 capsules

Fortex Diabekan is a food supplement, not a medicine, but its components are biologically active, and in a number of situations taking it without consulting a specialist is not advisable.

• Taking blood-sugar-lowering medicines. Chromium and cinnamon influence processes related to carbohydrate metabolism. If you already take medicines prescribed by a doctor, adding a food supplement on your own may require adjusting the regimen, and only a doctor can decide this.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding. The safety of concentrated plant extracts during these periods has not been studied sufficiently, so taking it is not recommended without a specialist's approval.
• Chronic diseases, especially of the liver and kidneys, since these organs take part in the metabolism of both chromium and plant extracts.
• Allergy to cinnamon or sensitivity to any of the components of the formula.

If none of the situations listed applies to you, and you are considering Diabekan as an addition to a balanced diet and an active lifestyle, the supplement may fit well into your routine. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts, a short consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is a sensible step.
