Pure G.T.F. Chromium

Chromium : Champion for Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Health. Trace element chromium (Cr) enhances the action of insulin, which plays an important role in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and storage. Chromium enables the body to maintain normal blood sugar levels by enhancing the action of insulin and moving glucose from the bloodstream into the cells, specifically to the mitochondria where it is used for energy. This process leads to greater insulin sensitivity, lessening the signs and symptoms of insulin resistance. Chromium supplementation has been shown to increase cellular uptake of glucose and stimulate insulin metabolism.   Insulin Resistance Insulin resistance (IR) occurs when the body's cells become impermeable. With impermeability, the cell walls dry and harden, and glucose is unable to get inside the cell to reach the mitochondria. As a result, glucose gets backed up inside the bloodstream creating elevated blood glucose levels, and the body signals for more ins
