The ability to maintain normal blodd sugar levels in the body is jeopardized by low chromium levels.
Chromium plays an important role in:
-Glucose regulation
-Insulin production/regulation
-Proper sugar and fat metabolism
-Management of cholestrol production
Chromium is a trace mineral essential for
the proper metabolism of cholesterol and glucose (blood sugar), as well as
insulin production and regulation.
Chromium deficiencies have been shown to aggravate and/or contribute to,
diabetes, hyper/hypo glycemias, high cholesterol,
heart disease, slow metabolism and weight fluctuation. Low intake of chromium
is associated with high blood sugar levels, glucose intolerance, and adult
onset diabetes, which in many cases is corrected or improved with increased chromium
intake.
Chromium decreases insulin resistance and reduces the body's level of
triglycerides. It also helps to control obesity and can stimulate weight loss.
Proper insulin regulation promotes the production of serotonin, a
neurotransmitter that controls the appetite and curbs sugar cravings.
Analysis has shown that unrefined sugars and grains are rich in chromium and
other essential life supporting minerals. When
chromium is removed, (during the refining process into white sugar and flour)
the human body does not have the element it needs to effectively deal with
these two powerful energy sources. The refining of raw sugars and grains gives
them a longer shelf life. It also creates foods which strip the body of
chromium and other essential minerals necessary for the proper metabolism of
these energy foods. Consequently the body must draw on other stores to process
the sugar and flour when consumed. This subsequently leads to mineral
deficiencies and an inability to deal with the body's other demands for
chromium and other minerals.
Chromium works best if it
is taken before meals to help stabilize blood sugar. Even if you don't consume
much sugar, chromium is necessary because the body treats most refined foods as
simple glucose. If you don't immediately burn this glucose for energy, you
convert it into FAT! In addition, chromium, which concentrates in the muscles,
can help to increase lean body mass and decrease body fat and weight. Chromium
improves the uptake of glucose in the body's cells so that it can be
metabolized to produce stable energy levels, thus helping to reverse the
effects of hypoglycemia.
The Eidon Difference: Large doses are used in solid supplements becuase most of the mineral is not absorbed. Eidon Minerals are 100% bioavailable. It is not necessary to take large doses in order to be effective.
Eidon Chromium is All Natural, 100%
BIOAVAILABLE and contains NO sugars, starch, artificial flavors, colors,
preservatives or animal by-products. 100% VEGAN.
