Chromemate-High Potency Niacin-Bound Chromium
- 1. How Important is Chromium?
- We have known for years that trace minerals like iron and zinc are essential to good health. But one of the most important minerals is chromium. Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increase the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty fold.
- 2. What is ChromeMate?
- ChromeMate is a unique form of niacin-bound chromium (called chromium nicotinate or polynicotinate) that dramatically increase the effectiveness of chromium. Normally chromium is poorly absorbed and utilized by the body. Researchers have found that the most potent form of chromium in nature-the form that absorbs insulin-is bound to the B-vitamin niacin. In fact, researchers have found that ChromeMate's patented oxygen-coordinated chromium-niacin complex is the most potent form of all-over 18-times more potent than other forms of niacin-bound chromium tested.
- 3. How does chromium help control blood sugar?
- Because insulin is dependent upon biologically active chromium, some people consider chromium the "master" nutrient for controlling blood sugar. A lack of chromium can cause low blood sugar and may be a factor in some cases of adult-onset diabetes and heart disease. There is also evidence to suggest that in some people chromium may play a role in lowering blood pressure, regulating appetite, reducing sugar cravings and promoting lean body mass.
- 4. What about cholesterol?
- Chromium has been shown to reduce levels of harmful LDL cholesterol, a form of cholesterol that has been linked to heart disease. A study at Auburn University showed that ChromeMate reduced LDL cholesterol in humans by an average of 14%. In fact, ChromeMate has been awarded a patent for lowering cholesterol. One study showed that one ChromeMate (200 mcq per day) reduced cholesterol by 14%.
- 5. Who needs chromium?
- U.S. Government studies show that 9 out of 10 Americans so not get enough chromium in their diet and that chromium deficiency may be a widespread problem. Chromium levels decrease gradually with age, while strenuous exercise, pregnancy, diabetes and stress can all cause the body to use up its chromium stores even faster.
- 6. What if I already take a chromium supplement?
- Amazingly, you may not be getting the chromium you thought you were. Chromium chloride for example, does not activate insulin and is absorbed less than 2% by the body. Not only is ChromeMate in a form insulin can use, a study at the University of California showed that ChromeMate was absorbed and retained 600% more effectively than chromium chloride and 300% more than chromium picolinate.
- 7. What foods contain chromium?
- Understandably, some people prefer to get all their vitamins and minerals by maintaining a balanced diet. Unfortunately, foods richest in biologically active chromium, such as Brewer's yeast, black pepper, liver and wheat germ, are not a large part of the American diet. With ChromeMate, your body can obtain all the biologically active chromium it needs, safely and conveniently.
- 8. Is ChromeMate safe?
- Dietary chromium itself is a natural part of our food supply and completely non-toxic when taken in normal dosages. One university study recently showed that a popular form of chromium caused chromosome damage in animal cells. The same study, however, showed that other forms of chromium, including ChromeMate, caused no toxicity. ChromeMate is not only safe, but can play a vital role in promoting good health.
- 9. Where can I find ChromeMate?
- ChromeMate is a nutritional ingredient that can be found in a wide variety of health and dietary products. Just look for the ChromeMate logo on the label.
