Why does the formula contain three components at once, cinnamon, chromium and magnesium? Isn't cinnamon alone enough? — Fortex Diabekan 490 mg, 30 capsules

Single-ingredient cinnamon supplements are popular, but the Diabekan formula is built differently, on a combination of three substances, each of which takes part in its own link of the metabolic processes.

• Ceylon cinnamon contains polyphenols, which are studied in relation to how cells respond to insulin and draw glucose into metabolism.
• Chromium in the form of picolinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of chromium. This trace element is involved in mechanisms linked to the action of insulin at the cellular level. The picolinate form was not chosen by chance: it is better absorbed compared with inorganic chromium salts.
• Magnesium is necessary for hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body, including those that support energy metabolism. Magnesium deficiency is widespread, especially in people who restrict carbohydrates or experience chronic stress.

This combination covers several aspects of carbohydrate metabolism at once, which makes the formula more complex than supplements containing cinnamon alone. At the same time, it is important to understand that Diabekan is a food supplement, an addition to the diet, not a substitute for a balanced diet or prescribed treatment.
