Prediabetes is increasingly common, affecting millions of adults who may not yet show symptoms but already experience subtle changes in how their body manages glucose. This early stage of metabolic imbalance is an opportunity — a moment when lifestyle and nutrition can make a meaningful difference.
Prediabetes is diagnosed when glucose levels are above the normal range but not high enough to indicate diabetes. Having prediabetes increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as heart and stroke-related conditions.
Good news: Prediabetes can often be improved or managed through healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and quality sleep.
Prediabetes is not simply about glucose levels — it reflects a broader metabolic imbalance. Research shows that oxidative stress and inflammation can influence insulin sensitivity and the body’s natural response to glucose.
Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals — unstable molecules produced during metabolism and respiration — outnumber the body’s antioxidant defenses. While free radicals play important roles in signaling and defense, excessive amounts can damage lipids, proteins, and DNA, disrupting normal cellular function.
By supporting oxidative balance, antioxidant compounds may help the body maintain normal glucose metabolism after meals and promote a more stable energy response throughout the day.
Maqui Berry (Aristotelia chilensis), native to southern Chile and Argentina, is one of nature’s richest sources of anthocyanins, particularly delphinidins — powerful antioxidants that have attracted scientific interest for their potential to support glycemic health and overall metabolic wellness.
Delphinol®, a standardized Maqui Berry extract, contains well-characterized levels of these antioxidant compounds and has been studied for its potential to support metabolic wellness.
For consumers seeking Delphinol®-based products, formulations such as Glycemic Guard® and Dr. Sears' Zone MaquiRx® feature this extract within their metabolic support blends.
In short: Delphinol® may support your body’s natural mechanisms for oxidative balance and healthy glucose metabolism — key factors for individuals in a prediabetic state.
Prediabetes doesn’t have to define your future. Small, consistent changes can help you get back on track and support your body’s natural balance. Here are simple, science-aligned habits that can make a difference — and naturally integrate the “how to reverse prediabetes” approach into daily life:
Delphinol® is featured in nutraceutical products designed to promote metabolic wellness and oxidative protection, including Glycemic Guard® (Life Extension) and Dr. Sears’ Zone MaquiRx®. Availability may vary by market.
By focusing on oxidative balance and supporting the body’s natural glucose metabolism, you can help maintain steady energy and overall wellness.
