Glucozene-Rx
With the introduction of Glucozene-Rx™, the public now has a nutraceutical alternative for glucose management healthcare. Bodybuilders have also discovered that Glucozent-Rr™s glucose transport effect pair a beneficiaI role in developing muscular size and strength.

Glucozene-Rx has added eight synergistic compounds to its active component Corosolic Acid, to help maintain overall glucose health, with chlorogenic acid as the most potent. It is this comprehensive and unique formulation that sets Glucozene-Rx™ apart from other like nutraceuticals!
Another area of concern to consumers is achieving healthy blood sugar levels. While diet modification is generally the first step, several exciting dietary supplements have also demonstrated relevance. The U.S. diabetes market sales surpassed $8 billion in 2004. This included both oral and insulin products, with Actos® leading the oral market in sales. Generic Glucophage® (metformin HCL) leads in prescriptions dispensed by a strong margin. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce, or properly use, insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar. starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is unknown, although both genetics and environmental factors, such as obesity and lack of exercise, appear to play roles. There are three major types of diabetes:
Type I is a disease in which the body does not produce any insulin, most often occurring in children and young adults. People with Type 1 Diabetes must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Type 1 Diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 percent ot diabetes.
Type 2 is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough, or properly use, insulin. It is the most common form of the disease. Type 2 Diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes is nearing epidemic proportions, due to an increased number of older Americans and a greater prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
Pre-diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2. Approximately 16 million Americans have pre-diabetes (this in addition to the 17 million who have been diagnosed with Type 1 or 2).
Gestational Diabetes is a disease that affects women in the later stages of pregnancy. Approximately 135,000 American women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes each year.
With so many people affected by diabetes, the dietary supplement market has a huge potential of category growth. Currently, this category has been relatively nonexistent for retailers in our industry. GIucozene-Rx™, by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc,. is a complete glucose transporter and insulin mimicker. Glucozene-Rx™, can provide a natural and non-invasive mode of balancing blood sugar levels, which makes it a one-of-a-kind product for insulin-mimetic activity in the nutraceutical field. Nutrition 21 recently launched a nutritional raw material called Diachromer™ for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. It is a combination of chromium picolinate and biotin that can be used to reduce glycemic response in moderately obese individuals. Cinnulin PF™, an herbal extract from Integrity Nutraceuticals International, takes another approach to blood sugar. Cinnulin PF contains Type A polymers that increase insulin dependent in vitro glucose metabolism. Retailers should take notice of this category and should also realize six million people are still not aware they have diabetes. Diabetes is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. With so much potential to help consumers with normalizing glucose levels of people with Type 2 Diabetes and pre-diabetes, retailers should focus more on this explosive market.
