Supplements to Reverse Prediabetes: What Works and Why

Prediabetes isn’t a permanent condition—it’s a red warning light.

…….and if you’re reading this, it means you’re serious about making a change before it becomes Type 2 diabetes. With nearly 1 in 3 adults in Singapore unknowingly prediabetic, early action isn’t optional—it’s urgent. The great news? Prediabetes is highly reversible with lifestyle shifts—and targeted, science-backed supplements can accelerate that reversal. These include natural compounds that improve insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation, support cell health, and reduce glucose spikes. If you’re looking for effective, natural supplements to reverse prediabetes, this is your evidence-based guide.

What Kind of Supplements Support Reversal?

Not all “diabetes support” products are created equal. Based on current research, supplements that target these five mechanisms show the most promise:

[ Supplement Categories for Prediabetes Support]

Supplement CategoryFunction
Blood Sugar Control (Berberine, Chromium)Stabilise glucose & insulin
Anti-inflammatory (Curcumin, Omega-3)Reduce insulin-blocking inflammation
Antioxidants (ALA, Carotenoids)Prevent cell and nerve damage
Fiber-based (Inulin, Psyllium)Slow digestion and glucose absorption
Insulin Sensitizers (Magnesium, Myo-Inositol)Help cells respond better to insulin

Top Supplements for Prediabetes Support

1. Berberine

Nature’s alternative to metformin—berberine helps lower fasting glucose, HbA1c, and improve gut bacteria diversity.

Use: 500mg, 2–3 times daily with meals.

2. Magnesium

Low magnesium is linked to insulin resistance and glucose spikes. It also helps reduce muscle cramps, stress, and fatigue.

Use: 300–400mg/day (glycinate or citrate form preferred)

3. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

A powerful antioxidant that helps reverse insulin resistance and reduce neuropathy symptoms common in diabetic progression.

Use: 300–600mg/day, with meals.

4. Psyllium Husk / Inulin

These soluble fibers slow sugar absorption and improve gut microbiota—critical for glucose regulation.

Use: 5–10g/day before meals (mix with water)

5. Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)

Reduces inflammation that blocks insulin receptors and supports heart health—a big concern for prediabetics.

Use: 1000–2000mg daily, fish oil or algae-based

How Super Lutein, Mirtoplus & Izumio Help Reverse Prediabetes Naturally

These Japanese-formulated supplements are used by thousands across Asia—not only for eye health but also for metabolic and cellular support.

Let’s break them down:

Super Lutein

Super Lutein contains 6 carotenoids (including lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene), DHA, vitamin E, and blueberry extract.

Why it helps:

Carotenoids are potent antioxidants that reduce inflammation in blood vessels and pancreatic beta cells

Supports healthy microvascular function (eye, kidney, and nerve protection)

Helps regulate oxidative stress, which worsens insulin resistance

Real-world benefit: May help slow progression to diabetes by reducing oxidative load on insulin-producing cells.

2. Super Lutein Mirtoplus

Mirtoplus is an advanced version of Super Lutein, including:

Mirtogenol® (French maritime pine + bilberry)

Blackcurrant extract

Vitamin E + DHA

Why it helps prediabetes:

Enhances vascular flexibility and blood flow (critical in glucose disposal)

Improves insulin transport across cell membranes

Protects retinal health, often impacted in early-stage diabetes

3. Izumio Hydrogen-Rich Water

Izumio delivers molecular hydrogen, shown in early clinical trials to:

Neutralise free radicals (ROS) at the cellular level

Reduce systemic inflammation and support blood pressure

Improve insulin sensitivity and antioxidant capacity

Bonus: Supports hydration without sugars or artificial ingredients—ideal for individuals managing blood sugar swings.

What the Science Says

A 2021 Japanese trial found that subjects consuming hydrogen-rich water showed improved insulin sensitivity, reduced oxidative stress markers, and improved glucose uptake in cells.

Separate studies on carotenoids (like lutein and beta-carotene) show a link between higher intake and lower incidence of metabolic syndrome.

What to Avoid

1. Skip “quick fix” pills with vague proprietary blends
2. Avoid mega-doses of B vitamins or chromium unless prescribed
3. Don’t replace medication without medical advice
