Abstract
A method whereby the glucose metabolism in an individual showing evidence of dysregulation, as is found in insulin resistance, reactive hyperglycemia and/or elevated blood sugar levels and/or diabetes, is improved when that person receives an appropriate oral administration of (−)-hydroxycitric acid. The potassium salt of (−)-hydroxycitric acid is the preferred form of the compound, followed by the sodium salt. The regulation of glucose levels over any given period of time may be improved with a controlled release form of (−)-hydroxycitric acid. Controlled release can be used to provide a sustained and modulated amount of the active to the body as desired and therefore regulate the use of the compound as a hypoglycemic agent.
