DIABETONE CAP 30/CAP

Benefits & Uses

Primary Benefit

Provides comprehensive micronutrient support specifically formulated to address the increased nutritional needs and metabolic demands of individuals with diabetes

Health Claims

Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Thiamin (B1) contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Common Deficiency Symptoms

Fatigue, impaired wound healing, peripheral neuropathy (B vitamins), poor glycemic control (chromium/magnesium), increased infection susceptibility (zinc/selenium/vitamin C), anemia (iron/B12/folate), muscle cramps (magnesium)

Target Population

Individuals with diabetes or pre-diabetes who wish to safeguard their daily diet with key vitamins and minerals.

Scientific Evidence Level

Moderate

Onset Timeline

Correction of acute deficiencies may begin within 2-4 weeks; metabolic and energy benefits typically observed after 4-8 weeks of consistent use

Best Time to Take

With meals

Recommended Daily Intake

1 capsule daily as per formulation; individual nutrient RDAs met at varying percentages - Chromium 25 μg (adequate intake), Magnesium 100 mg (partial of 300-400 mg/day adult RDA), Zinc 9 mg (~82-100% adult RDA)

Upper Tolerable Limit

Vitamin A 3000 μg/day, Vitamin D 100 μg/day, Vitamin E 1000 mg/day, Vitamin C 2000 mg/day, Niacin 35 mg/day, Vitamin B6 100 mg/day, Folic Acid 1000 μg/day, Iron 45 mg/day, Magnesium (supplemental) 350 mg/day, Zinc 40 mg/day, Chromium ND, Selenium 400 μg/day

Absorption Enhancers

Take with a fat-containing meal to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E; Vitamin C in the formula enhances iron absorption; adequate stomach acid improves mineral absorption

Absorption Inhibitors

Phytates, polyphenols (tea, coffee), calcium, high fiber inhibit iron/zinc absorption; Iron and zinc compete for absorption

Side Effects

Possible Side Effects

Generally well-tolerated at recommended doses; high iron intake may cause nausea, constipation, or dark stools; excess niacin may cause flushing; excess zinc may cause nausea; excess selenium may cause selenosis with long-term overuse

Toxicity Risk

Low

Upper Tolerable Limit

Vitamin A 3000 μg/day, Vitamin D 100 μg/day, Vitamin E 1000 mg/day, Vitamin C 2000 mg/day, Niacin 35 mg/day, Vitamin B6 100 mg/day, Folic Acid 1000 μg/day, Iron 45 mg/day, Magnesium (supplemental) 350 mg/day, Zinc 40 mg/day, Chromium ND, Selenium 400 μg/day

Safety & Warnings

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any component (including soya, if present in the excipients); iron overload disorders such as haemochromatosis.

Children Suitability

Not recommended for children; formulated for adults with diabetes

Interactions

Medication Interactions

Chromium may enhance insulin and oral hypoglycemic effects requiring glucose monitoring; Folic acid may mask B12 deficiency; Magnesium may reduce absorption of some antibiotics (fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines); Iron may reduce absorption of levodopa, levothyroxine, and some antibiotics

Supplement Interactions

Iron and zinc compete for absorption - avoid concurrent high-dose supplementation of either; calcium supplements reduce iron and zinc absorption; separate from high-dose calcium supplements by 2 hours

Synergistic Nutrients

Vitamin C enhances iron absorption; Vitamin D and Magnesium work synergistically for glucose metabolism; B6, B12, and Folate together reduce homocysteine; Chromium and Biotin together support insulin signaling; Zinc and Selenium support antioxidant defense

Special Populations

Target Population

Individuals with diabetes or pre-diabetes who wish to safeguard their daily diet with key vitamins and minerals.

Storage & Patient Advice

SFDA Storage Conditions

store below 25°c

Storage Conditions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Patient Counseling

Take 1 capsule orally once daily with (or immediately after) a main meal; do not exceed the recommended dose. Taking with food (ideally a meal containing some fat) improves tolerability and absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D, E). This product is a nutritional supplement and does not replace prescribed diabetes medicines, diet, or lifestyle measures. If you use insulin or oral antidiabetic drugs, monitor glucose as usual and seek advice if you notice increased hypoglycemia (chromium may modestly enhance glucose‑lowering in some patients). Separate from levothyroxine and from tetracycline/quinolone antibiotics by at least 4 hours due to iron/magnesium/zinc reducing absorption. Store below 25°C.
