American Dietetic Association Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo 2009 — Booth # 1104 –

DENVER -- OCTOBER 18, 2009 —  While research shows that diet and exercise are beneficial to people living with diabetes, it may not be enough; and therefore additional nutritional support from specially formulated supplements may be needed.  According to Frederic Vagnini, MD, technical advisor to Enzymatic Therapy^®, medical director of The Heart Diabetes & Weight Loss Centers of New York in New York City and author of the new book The Weight Loss Plan for Beating Diabetes (Fair Winds Press, October 2009), “I cannot stress enough the importance of complete and balanced nutrition to my patients with diabetes and how even by just taking the right multi-vitamin, a person’s entire nutritional picture can be dramatically improved.”  

Enzymatic Therapy has developed the alpha betic family of supplements, formulated for the specific dietary needs of people with diabetes. With alpha betic, balanced and optimized nutritional support can be achieved easily and effectively.^† These supplements provide nutrients to help restore deficiencies often experienced by people with diabetes. ^† The alpha betic family of products comes in four formulas, each specifically designed to address nutritional needs in several important categories of health. ^†

Clinical evidence supports the fact that people with diabetes have strict and unique nutritional needs and should take a multivitamin to help supplement their normal dietary intake of essential nutrients. Research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine concludes that regular use of a multivitamin helps patients with diabetes maintain good health. ^{† 1}
