Is your waistline expanding against your will?
If your waist line is expanding against your will, Chromium might rein it back in, because Chromium improves insulin sensitivity. In the February issue of the Journal of Nutrition a new study showed that chromium picolinate improved insulin resistance in obese rats by increasing glucose uptake by muscle tissue. Insulin resistance occurs when the tissues respond poorly to insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that facilitates glucose going from the blood into muscle and fat tissue.
When this does not occur, blood sugar levels rise and a prediabetes or diabetic state occurs. Chromium is essential to this process and improves it by making the insulin receptor on muscle work more efficiently. Sometimes obesity may be linked to low chromium levels leading to insulin resistance.
A few words about chromium...
Inorganic chromium is poorly absorbed at less than 1%. The best and most usable form of chromium, is called chromium GTF (glucose tolerance factor). It has an absorption of 10-25%. The GTF is a complex composed of chromium, nicotinic acid, and possibly amino acids glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid. This is the form of chromium found in the body.
Plants are able to take raw minerals and put them into organic forms that are well absorbed and utilized by humans. This is what occurs in Chromium GTF. It is a food derived product and is the preferred form of getting chromium.
BodyHealth Complete and BodyHealth Complete+Detox have 200 mcg of Chromium GTF in each daily serving.
