General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello and thank you for your question.
She really should stop both of these supplements. The first ingredient in Brain NRG is fuctose, a sugar. In addition the glucosamine in the instaflex can also raise her glucose. She will probably not be able to get her sugars in control while taking these products. Please urge her to stop them. Once her sugars are well controlled she can try adding them back slowly.
Regards.
