Yeast-Free Chromium Chromium is a trace element which may work closely with insulin to help facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells. It is an essential nutrient required for normal sugar and fat metabolism and works primarily by potentiating the action of insulin. KEY FEATURES -
Required for normal sugar and fat metabolism. -
Potentiates the action of insulin. -
Needed for energy – maintains stable blood sugar levels. -
Regulates the cholesterol in the blood. -
May assist in preventing coronary artery disease. -
Required in synthesis of fats, protein and carbohydrates. Chromium is needed for energy, maintains stable blood sugar levels. In cooperation with other substances, it controls insulin as well as certain enzymes. It works with GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) when this hormone-affiliated agent enters the bloodstream because of an increase of insulin in the bloodstream. GTF (containing niacin, vitamin B3, glycine, cysteine, glutamic acid etc.) enhances insulin, which results in the sugars passing quicker into the cells and in that way they are removed from the bloodstream. By stabilizing the blood sugar level it also assists in regulating the cholesterol in the blood. Natural chromium levels decline with age and so with the action of the GTF. Although chromium picolinate is readily absorbed by the body, and is one of the best types of chromium when it comes to absorption, it will only be absorbed, if there is a shortage. Chromium picolinate has been used as a carbohydrate-burning supplement for some time and has proved very successful. (Chromium picolinate is chromium chelated with picolinate - a natural amino acid metabolite). It is also required in synthesis of fats, protein and carbohydrates, and may assist in preventing coronary artery disease.
