Chromium Description
Chromium - Chromium is
sometimes called GTF, which is an acronym for Glucose Tolerance
Factor. Chromium is central in the role of maintaining stable blood
sugar levels by regulating insulin use by the body. Chromium is
effective for persons with diabetes and hypoglycemia, and those with
coronary artery disease. Chromium is not readily absorbed by the
human body and 90% of the population is deficient. This deficiency
can lead to anxiety, fatigue, glucose intolerance in those with
diabetes, and arteriosclerosis. Chromium comes from brewer's yeast,
brown rice, cheese, meats and whole grains. Many Herbs also contain
this
essential mineral, including catnip, horsetail, licorice and red
clover.
