This is due to their inhibitory effect on inflammation, which is a key factor in insulin sensitivity. Based on these findings, the present study investigated the combined effect of vitamin C and E on insulin activity. 13 elderly men with increased blood sugars levels (a common feature of insulin resistance) were administered vitamin E (1000 mg\/day) and vitamin C (1000 UI\/day) for 4 weeks. The results showed that the combined administration of vitamin C and E lowered inflammation and improved insulin action. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Maria Rosaria Rizzo,\u00a0Angela Marie Abbatecola,\u00a0Michelangela Barbieri,\u00a0Maria Teresa Vietri,\u00a0Michele Cioffi,\u00a0Rodolfo Grella,\u00a0AnnaMaria Molinari,\u00a0Rosalyn Forsey,\u00a0Jonathan Powell,\u00a0Giuseppe Paolisso<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18978171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary According to research, vitamin C and E \u2013 given separately \u2013 improve insulin sensitivity, i.e. the body\u00b4s ability to respond to the action of the hormone insulin in decreasing blood sugars.
