Chromium Complex is a one-a-day formula that provides relevant levels of those nutrients required to help maintain normal blood sugar (glucose) levels. Including a full 200µg of chromium GTF, which is probably the better-known of all the blood sugar controlling nutrients.
Chromium is an essential nutrient that is vital in regulating blood sugar levels and along with vitamin B3 and the three amino acids: glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine, acts as a part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) that balances the action of insulin. Chromium is depleted from foods during processing and refining; consequently, some people obtain inadequate amounts from their diets.
Signs of chromium deficiency include poor concentration, lightheadedness, fainting, hunger pangs, and cravings.
This formula is ideal for those with food cravings (pre-menstrual and non-cyclical) and other blood sugar imbalances, including low blood sugar (i.e., hypoglycaemia), and for supporting sufferers of Candida albicans. It is also very relevant for those with syndrome X, the term for a group of symptoms that indicate the body's systems have become 'resistant' to the hormone insulin.
Diabetics are advised to consult their medical practitioner before using this preparation.
