Doctors’ DiscoveryHelps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doc-

tors has found that a new formulation ofexotic sounding ingredients gives newhope to diabetic patients. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ pro-motes healthy blood sugar levels byeffectively metabolizing glucose intoenergy. In a research study, all patientstaking just one capful of the liquid (oneounce) daily, dramatically lowered theirblood sugar levels compared to a pla-cebo group. Another scientific studyfound that an ingredient in Cinnatrolmade insulin 20 times more capable ofconverting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, onepatient in the study lowered his bloodsugar from 220-245 to the 100-130range in only 28 days, despite beinginstructed not to change his dietaryhabits or physical activity. Some pa-tients, under their doctors care, havebeen able to reduce or eliminate theirneed for diabetic drugs. Scientists saythat Cinnatrol helps diabetic drugs towork more efficiently. Cinnatrol is available without a pre-scription at pharmacies and nutritionstores or call 1-877-581-1502.Now at select:
