ChromiumSelect

Chromium polynicotinate is an effective assimilated form of a chromium supplement which some researchers suggest may have more benefits for certain conditions than does the picolinate form. Another study on chromium polynicotinate in rats prevented the sucrose-induced elevation of systolic blood pressure and decreased measures of lipid peroxidation.

Both forms of chromium reduce high serum glucose levels which can contribute to aging via a destructive process known as glycosylation, also called nonenzymatic glycation, in which glucose molecules bind to proteins and interfere with their function. People with diabetes have a highly increased rate of protein glycosylation and this plays a major part in their increased risk of atherosclerosis and many other diseases. For many with diabetes, chromium and a chromium supplement enhances the ability of insulin to lower serum glucose levels.

Magnesium aspartate is a nutrient which, when included in the diet, can help one to avoid feelings of tiredness as it plays a role in the Krebs Cycle which is involved with ATP production(energy)

Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) is an essential co-factor in the body's production of energy through both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Chromium polynicotinate helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can be critical to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and proteins.
Chromium polynicotinate has been shown to possess greater biological activity than other chromium picolinate weight loss supplements.
Chromium Polynicotinate is a mineral required for regulation of blood sugar. It is involved in the metabolism of glucose and is essential for energy. The ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels is threatened by the lack of chromium in our soil and water and by a diet often high in white flour, refined sugar and junk food.

Chromium supplements has been used successfully to control cholesterol, promote the loss of fat and increase lean muscle tissue.
Deficiencies in chromium are rare because this mineral is readily available in the foods we eat. However when deficiencies do occur it may be associated with glucose intolerance and/or insulin resistance.

Chromium polynicotinate is a well assimilated form which may have more benefits for certain conditions than does the picolinate form. Chromium polynicotinate seems to have some definite advantages over chromium picolinate, including even better bioavailability. It now appears that niacin-bound chromium is a safer form of a chromium supplement. . Some studies have also shown that niacin is necessary for chromium supplements to be of benefit.

FAQ’s about ChromiumSelect

What is ChromiumSelect used for?

ChromiumSelect provides a combination of chromium polynicotinate together with other vital nutrients (vitamin B6, magnesium and manganese) that ensures the generation of energy in the body from glucose. Due to the effect chromium has on glucose metabolism, it is referred to as glucose tolerance factor or GTF).

Why is chromium supplementation so important?

Our modern diets are deficient in chromium, so we do not get sufficient chromium from our diets:

Chromium in many foods is poorly absorbed
Processing of foods reduces the chromium content
A sugar rich diet could effect the bodies chromium levels

Which foods contain chromium?

Some foods that contain chromium include: beef, beer, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, cheese, turkey, fish, and whole grains

How do I know if I have a deficiency of chromium in my body?

Chromium deficiency can result in the following problems:

Anxiety
Fatigue
Glucose intolerance
Increased risk of arteriosclerosis

What are the benefits of chromium?

Chromium is essential for the metabolism of glucose into energy. It also plays a role in the metabolism of cholesterol, fats, and protein. Chromium increases insulin efficiency and therefore helps to regulate blood sugar levels (especially in diabetics and people with hyperglycemia).

Who should be using a chromium supplement?

Chromium supplements can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in individuals with insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar levels, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes.

Athletes need to consume higher levels of carbohydrates than the average person for endurance purposes, and thus have higher chromium requirements.

Chromium supplementation helps to control cholesterol levels.

Pregnant women have a higher demand for chromium.

What is impaired glucose tolerance?

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) occurs when blood glucose levels are above normal levels, but not at diabetic levels. About 7% of people with IGT will go on to develop type 2 diabetes.

How do I know if my blood sugar levels are too high?

Too much glucose in the blood will produce the following symptoms:

Fatigue
Constant need to urinate
Extreme thirst
Always feeling hungry
Loss of weight
Deterioration of eyesight.

What is ChromiumSelect?

ChromiumSelect provides supplemental chromium in the form of chromium polynicotinate. Chromium polynicotinate is a highly absorbable source of chromium which is bound to niacin (vitamin B3). Magnesium, manganese and vitamin B6 are added to increase energy production in the body and to promote proper glucose metabolism.

What do I need to be careful of when using ChromiumSelect?

If you suffer from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) use ChromiumSelect under the supervision of your doctor.

Use as directed – if you consume too much chromium on a daily basis, chromium toxicity results, which is characterized by liver and kidney problems.

If you are using medication to control your blood sugar levels, consult your healthcare practitioner before using ChromiumSelect.

If I am pregnant or breastfeeding can I use ChromiumSelect?

ChromiumSelect is an essential supplement for pregnancy. The developing fetus increases the demands for chromium. ChromiumSelect will help to maintain stable blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Use ChromiumSelect under the supervision of your healthcare practitioner.

Can children use ChromiumSelect?

Children over the age of 13 years should use half the recommended dose. Children under the age of 13 years should only use the product under the supervision of their healthcare practitioner.
