Abstract
Background. Diabetes mellitus is a widespread metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Managing diabetes effectively often requires a multifaceted approach. Recent research has explored the potential of combining zinc with lipoic acid and taurine as a novel strategy for improving diabetes management.
Results. This article delves into the rationale behind combination therapy, reviews relevant studies, and investigates potential mechanisms of synergy.
Conclusion. Many aspects of diabetes, from insulin sensitivity to oxidative stress, suggest a holistic and effective treatment strategy. At the same time, the synergistic potential of these components brings unique mechanisms of action. Together, they harness the power of synergy, where the cumulative effect is greater than the sum of the individual actions. By combining these compounds, lower doses can be used, minimizing the risk of side effects, and improving long-term adherence to treatment.
