Insulin Sensitivity Improvement

Meaning

Insulin sensitivity improvement is the physiological process of enhancing the responsiveness of key target tissues, particularly muscle, fat, and liver cells, to the circulating hormone insulin. Increased sensitivity allows a lower concentration of insulin to effectively promote glucose uptake and utilization, maintaining optimal blood glucose homeostasis and reducing pancreatic strain. This clinical goal is paramount in metabolic health and longevity protocols, as improved sensitivity directly mitigates the risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
