T.J. Clark Liquid Chromium Picolinate
The trace-mineral Chromium is a necessary
factor in carbohydrate (and sugar) metabolism and plays a major role in
the sensitivity of cells to insulin.
Insulin helps cells absorb and use glucose
effectively. Considerable evidence indicates that chromium functions as a
co-factor in all insulin-regulating activities.
There is some evidence that marginal chromium
deficiency may be important in other areas of health and disease. These include
some of the most common and significant illnesses of industrialized nations;
recent studies have shown liquid Chromium Picolinate to be helpful in
Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Obesity and Depression.
Insulin is the "Master Hormone" of our
metabolism; it not only controls blood sugar levels and many other aspects of
carbohydrate breakdown and storage, but also directs much of the metabolism
involving fat, protein and energy (calories).
Several studies of male runners indicated that
urinary chromium loss was increased by endurance exercise, suggesting that
chromium needs may be greater in individuals who exercise regularly.
Supplementing the diet with chromium has been
shown to significantly improve insulin action; decrease fasting glucose and
triglyceride levels; and increase the HDL-cholesterol level by enhancing insulin
sensitivity.
Chromium Picolinate is a highly bioactive form of
chromium developed and patented by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Chromium Picolinate has been shown to cross biological membranes and to be
assimilated by the body far more readily than other inorganic forms of Chromium.
In a major turn around, last year the FDA
recognized Chromium Picolinate as a totally safe nutritional supplement that may
reduce the risk of insulin resistance and possible type 2 diabetes.
