Hi,
Thanks for your question
Insulin resistance and systemic inflammation can improve with certain vitamins and supplements, but it’s important to treat these as supportive, not as a replacement for medical care, diet, or exercise.
✅ 1. Vitamin D3 Many people with inflammation or insulin resistance have low vitamin D.
Typical general wellness dose: 1,000–2,000 IU daily
Benefits: Supports insulin sensitivity Reduces inflammatory markers
✅ 2. Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin form preferred) Important if you feel tired or follow a vegetarian/low-meat diet.
General wellness dose: 500–1000 mcg once daily or 2000–2500 mcg weekly
Benefits: Improves energy Supports metabolism Reduces nerve-related issues
✅ 3. Magnesium (Glycinate or Citrate) Magnesium deficiency affects insulin sensitivity.
General wellness dose: 200–400 mg at night
Benefits: Improves insulin function Reduces inflammation Supports sleep
✅ 4. Omega-3 (Fish Oil or Algal Oil) One of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory supplements.
Typical general dose: 1000 mg EPA + DHA daily
Benefits: Lowers inflammation Supports heart health Helps metabolic markers
✅ 5. Vitamin E (only natural form: d-alpha-tocopherol) Helps reduce oxidative stress.
General wellness dose: 100–200 IU daily
Benefits: Lowers inflammation Supports cell repair
🔥 6. Additional Non-vitamin Supplements Helpful for Insulin Resistance These are not vitamins but are commonly used:
✔ Berberine Helps with blood sugar, insulin, weight Often compared to metformin in studies
Dose: 500 mg 1–2 times daily Avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on certain meds
✔ Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Improves insulin sensitivity Dose: 300–600 mg daily
✔ Curcumin (Turmeric Extract) Strong anti-inflammatory Dose: 500 mg daily with black pepper

Instead of isolated synthetic vitamins, Ayurveda recommends Whole Herb Supplements which have higher bioavailability. Most patients with Insulin Resistance are deficient in Vitamin D3 and Magnesium. I recommend getting 15 minutes of morning sun exposure daily or taking a supplement if levels are very low.
Medicines (Natural Supplements) 1 Nisha-Amalaki Vati: 2 tablets twice daily before food. 2 Shilajit (Purified Resin/Capsule): 1 capsule or pea-sized resin in warm water/milk once a day. 3 Chandraprabha Vati: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water.
Dietary Advice The Metabolic Drink: Soak 1 teaspoon of Fenugreek Seeds (Methi) and 1/2 inch of Cinnamon stick in water overnight. Drink this water first thing in the morning to lower insulin spikes. Healthy Fats: Focus on Good Fats like Ghee (1 tsp/day) and Olive Oil which reduce inflammation, rather than seed oils (sunflower/soybean) which increase it.
Inclusions: Bitter Gourd (Karela) and Turmeric in daily cooking.
Lifestyle Advice Brisk Walking: A 30-minute brisk walk after dinner is the most powerful tool to increase insulin sensitivity naturally. Fasting: Practice Intermittent Fasting (eat within an 8-10 hour window) to allow the body time to repair inflammation.

To address insulin resistance and inflammation through the lens of Ayurveda, though vitamin supplements are often discussed, the holistic view is more expansive and grounded in the balance of the body’s energies. However, keeping modern science in mind, Vitamin D is recognized for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation. It’s critical, though, to confirm any deficiency of Vitamin D via a blood test and consult with a healthcare provider for a suitable dosage.
Aside from supplements, Ayurveda emphasizes addressing these issues through lifestyle and dietary choices. Improving your digestion and metabolism, which we call agni, can be crucial. Consider incorporating digestive spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel into your meals, as these can enhance digestive fire without causing imbalances.
Pay attention to meal timings and regularity, as erratic eating patterns can disrupt the metabolic balance. Eat your largest meal during midday when the digestive fire is strongest.
As for inflammation, Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a renowned Ayurvedic herb that contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Adding it to your diet, perhaps in warm milk or with black pepper to enhance absorption, can be beneficial. A consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner to understand your specific dosha and suggest personalized herbs would also be advisable, as turmeric is generally cooling and might not suit everyone.
While focusing on vitamins, it’s critical not to overlook the role of stress management, regular physical activity, and sleep hygiene to support insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Simple practices like yoga, meditation, and adequate hydration can contribute significantly to achieving balance. Before making any significant changes, especially related to supplements and herbs, it is wise to discuss these with a professional to ensure they fit your unique health needs, considering any other medical conditions or medications you might be dealing with.
For supporting insulin resistance and inflammation, look at the potential benefits of vitamin D. A deficiency in vitamin D is often linked with insulin resistance, and adequate levels may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Aim to get vitamin D levels checked before starting supplementation to ensure you’re taking an appropriate dose. Natural sunlight exposure is also a good way to increase vitamin D levels.
Turning to the Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, addressing these issues holistically involves looking at dietary and lifestyle factors alongside supplementation. Turmeric, due to its active compound curcumin, is another option worth exploring for its anti-inflammatory properties. Consider incorporating turmeric in your daily diet, possibly in the form of golden milk—mixing it with warm milk and some black pepper to enhance its absorption.
Don’t forget about omega-3 fatty acids; they’re not a vitamin but can assist in controlling inflammation. Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and oily fish like salmon are rich sources. With respect to the doshas, reducing kapha accumulation could help manage insulin resistance. Keep meals warm, dry, and moderate, favoring bitter and astringent tastes which balance kapha as well as help enhance your digestive fire (agni).
Remember, these are complementary measures. For any underlying conditions, it’s crucial to consult a health professional. If uncontrolled, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation can lead to conditions demanding immediate medical attention. Keeping dosage guidelines and periodic reviews with a healthcare provider will ensure you’re maintaining the right balance and adjusting according to your unique body constitution (prakriti) and current condition.
