Friend, if you’ve got type 2 diabetes on your radar…

You’d better BRACE yourself.

Because you’ve got an incoming SUGAR ATTACK!

This SILENT ASSASSIN can DESTROY your delicate tissues – like your nerves, kidneys, eyes, and even brain.

That’s right – what tastes SWEET on your lips has a SOUR aftertaste.

But you don’t need to let a little too much sugar WRECK your health.

Here’s how you can “put up your shields”… with a humble vitamin.

The only problem is… most folks are doing it WRONG!

The vitamin victor

I’m talking about vitamin B6 – but not just any ol’ version you’ll find in the vitamin aisle.

You see, when you take a B6 vitamin, it’s in its INACTIVE form – and your liver has to convert it into something else in order for your body to use it.

The ACTIVE form of B6 (a.k.a. pyridoxine) is pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (or P5P for short).

It’s the BEST version of vitamin B6 there is.

And when you take P5P directly… your body can SKIP that conversion process!

You could get MORE benefit from the vitamin… and more QUICKLY… than if you had taken it in its INFERIOR form.

The scientific community has known about these benefits for FOUR DECADES… and yet most folks are STILL taking the WRONG version of vitamin B6!

Now, why should you worry at all about your B6 levels when you’ve got diabetes?

Sugar can DRAIN your body of its supply of B6… and specifically of P5P!

That’s a HUGE problem for diabetics, as P5P has shown to help support pancreatic health…

Specifically SHIELDING beta cells from dysfunction…

And promoting the healthy secretion of insulin… which is CRUCIAL to maintaining BALANCED blood sugar levels.

But that’s not all.

Maintaining healthy levels of P5P has been linked to LOWER clinical markers of inflammation…

And excess inflammation is a MAJOR culprit behind type 2 diabetes!

There’s even more to this story. LOTS more.

You’ve read before right here in eAlert how P5P could help BEAT BACK sugar-induced damage… which comes in the form of advanced glycation end products.

When glucose in your blood reacts with proteins and lipids in your body, that reaction forms AGEs.

AGEs have been associated with cognitive deficits…

And with diabetic complications.

P5P literally traps AGEs… and SWEEPS them out of cells.

P5P’s anti-glycation action has shown potential in helping conditions like… diabetic nephropathy

diabetic retinopathy

peripheral neuropathy, and

cancer (caused by AGE-induced DNA damage).

And, as I suggested earlier, it could even help with Alzheimer’s disease… which has been nicknamed “type 3 diabetes” because of its connections to elevated sugar!

In fact, using an active form of vitamin B6 has been shown to be SO effective… Big Pharma claimed “dibs” on another one, called pyridoxamine!

Pyridoxamine WAS available without a prescription as a dietary supplement… until pharma execs caught wind of it and got it RECLASSIFIED as an investigational drug in 2009.

Fortunately, we still have ANOTHER active form of B6 – P5P.

But for how long?

In the meantime, look for a P5P supplement (a.k.a. “activated” vitamin B6) from a quality maker at your local health food store or online.

P.S. Diabetics sometimes LOSE too much magnesium when they pee. Fortunately, P5P can also help “escort” magnesium into your cells and increase your body’s absorption of this mighty diabetes-fighting mineral!

You can sometimes find these two nutrients together in one formula.
