Chromium GTF

$21.98

Chromium has been reported to reduce sugar cravings and is sometimes advised to help with weight loss. There is an exceedingly small amount of chromium in white sugar, but that small amount can cause cravings if the body is otherwise deficient in chromium. However, since some chromium is needed by the body to fully digest white sugar, this sometimes leads to a cycle of repeated sugar cravings. Supplemental chromium can help break this sugar craving cycle.

Chromium is found in Food with accompanying Food factors which include protein chaperones. which aid in absorption of chromium (chromium mineral salts are chemical compounds which are rocks or synthetically produced). Chromium rocks are poorly absorbed by humans (some are less than 1% absorbed). Plants convert soil constituents including chromium into Food. Humans are supposed to consume Food, not soil. Yet most chromium-containing supplements do not contain chromium as found in Foods; instead they contain various acid-processed rocks or other mineral salts. Consuming mineral salts poses at least two problems. The first is that the body has to attempt to breakdown the rock into its elemental forms, which it is not really designed to do (plants are supposed to do that , which is why they are considered to be lower down on the food chain than humans). The second is that the body has to discard the non-chromium portion somehow as it may not be of any use to the body (if undesirable elements accumulate, they can contribute to toxic accumulations and/or reactions in the body, including free radicals). Because it is a Food and not ground up rock, 100% Food Chromium GTF is easier on the digestive system than other chromium supplements and can often be better tolerated by sensitive individuals.

Food Chromium GTF naturally contains this glucose tolerance factor chromium. “Chromium is generally accepted as an essential nutrient that potentiates insulin action, and thus influences carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism” . One small study found that Food Chromium GTF reduced blood glucose levels by 16.8% versus 6.0% for inorganic chromium, thus it was 2.80 times more effective. Another study found that Food Chromium GTF benefited certain diabetics by improving blood glucose control, lowering serum lipids, and decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Chromium has been reported to reduce sugar cravings and is sometimes advised to help with weight loss. Because it is a Food and not ground up rock, 100% Food Chromium GTF is easier on the digestive system than other chromium supplements and can often be better tolerated by sensitive individuals.

Since Food Chromium GTF is so much better than other forms, why would anyone want to take something else?

Contains naturally occurring carbohydrates, lipids, proteins (including all ten essential amino acids), superoxide dismutase, and truly organic bioflavonoids as found in enzymatically processed Saccharomyces cervisiae, Rice bran Oryza sativa, Mixed vegetable fiber Cellula vegetabalis, Kelp thallus Ascophyllum nodesum, Dulse plant Rhodymenia palmatta, and Buckwheat rutin Fagopyrum esculentum --all the nutrients shown above are contained in these foods. Unlike many so-called “natural” chromium formulas, this Chromium GTF is a food chromium (not a mineral salt) contains no synthetic USP nutrients or mineral salts, but only contains foods, food complexes, and food concentrates.

Numerous university studies have concluded that supplements containing food nutrients are better than USP isolates. Food nutrients are better because they contain important enzymes, peptides, and phytonutrients CRITICAL to the UTILIZATION of vitamins and minerals which are not present in isolated USP nutrients. Published research has concluded that food vitamins are superior synthetic/USP vitamins.

Suggested use: 1-3 tablets per day or as recommended by your health care professional. Adjust usage according to nutritional lifestyle requirements.
