DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 12, 2026–
Virta Health, the leader in reversing metabolic disease, today announced new peer-reviewed research published in Endocrine Research demonstrating that its nutrition-based metabolic care model delivers broad and sustained reductions in inflammatory markers in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the study, 19 of 21 inflammatory and immune markers significantly improved after one year of treatment, with improvements largely maintained through two years. This nutrition-based therapy demonstrated broad anti-inflammatory effects across multiple markers, without the known risks of serious side effects associated with some medications. No currently FDA-approved medication targets such a broad spectrum of inflammatory markers.
