From
Chromium is a mineral essential
to humans, yet as many as 90% of American diets are low in Chromium.
Chromium is at the heart of a biologically active complex called
Glucose Tolerance Factor or "GTF," which is responsible
for increasing the action of insulin in the body.
Insulin is a vital hormone responsible
for transporting glucose inside cells and maintaining proper blood
sugar and blood lipid (cholesterol) levels in the body. Chromium
helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert
sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increases
the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly
twenty-fold.
Backed By Clinical Studies
A lack of chromium can result in
Type-2 Diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Dr. Walter Mertz,
former director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human
Nutrition Research Center, established that GTF chromium consists
of chromium bound to the B-vitamin, niacin. ChromeMate® is
a unique form of oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium.
Protected by three U.S. patents,
four international patents and other worldwide patents pending,
ChromeMate® is the only niacin-bound chromium supplement with
proven biological activity.
Studies have shown that ChromeMate®
is 18 times more potent than other forms of niacin-bound chromium
and, in animal models used to evaluate bioavailability in humans,
is absorbed and retained more than 600% greater than chromium
chloride and 300% greater than chromium picolinate.
How Chromate Can Benefit You
Combined with exercise and a sensible diet, ChromeMate® helps:
Maintain healthy body weight and
promotes normal energy metabolism.
Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes cardiovascular
health.
Promote normal insulin function and maintains healthy blood sugar
levels.
Several studies have shown that chromium supplements may improve
insulin sensitivity, and lower blood glucose and elevated body
fat. Chromium has also been used as an effectively for those with
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition affecting
two million American women. This condition can lead to infertility
if untreated and is associated with insulin resistance and Type-2
Diabetes.

Uses ChromeMate®. May improve insulin sensitivity and lower
blood glucose levels. Used to help with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS). 600% more effective than chromium chloride. 300% more
effective than chromium picolinate
Chromium picolinate is one of the most
popular forms of chromium available and is used in hundreds of
different supplements. It is a combination of the element chromium
and picolinic acid. The addition of picolinic acid aids in the
ability of chromium to be absorbed
