摘要

Nutritional compositions that include a combination of Curcumin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) are provided. The nutritional compositions may be formulated as low glycemic index nutritional compositions. The nutritional compositions may be administered to an individual, particularly an insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, or diabetic individual, to preserve muscle mass and decrease fat deposition, thereby improving overall body composition leading to increased strength and functionality as well as improved blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity.
