The role of selected nutraceuticals in management of prediabetes and diabetes: An updated review of the literature. Part II

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 38, Issue 11, Page 5490-5532, November 2024.
Abstract We have already published a review about the results of clinical trials evaluating the effects of selected nutraceuticals on glycemia in humans. In this second part, we describe the role of other nutraceuticals involved in dysglycemia. The available evidence showed promising hypoglycemic effects of the nutraceuticals reviewed both for their ...
