Chromium Polynicotinate 200 mcg - Helps aids growth and may help to lessen atherosclerosis and prevent diabetes, 100 capsules , (Highland Laboratories)
Chromium is an essential trace element and has numerous actions on the body; it works with insulin to metabolize sugar (without chromium, the blood sugar is not absorbed by the body's cells and hyperglycemia may result. Extreme hyperglycemia is diabetes), helps to bring protein where it is needed, aids growth, and may help to lessen atherosclerosis and prevent diabetes.
Both exercise and high sugar intake increase the loss of chromium through the urine. Also, with increased age, the body retains less chromium. Deficiency symptoms include high blood sugar, impaired glucose tolerance, increased insulin levels, glycosuria, impaired growth, decreased fertility and lower sperm count, aortic plaques, increased cholesterol levels, and decreased longevity.
Optimal chromium assimilation has these results: decreased cholesterol, decreased blood sugar, growth of muscles, less body fat, and increased energy. Chromium polynicotinate is a highly biologically active form of niacin-chromium which has been tested extensively. It is considered to be very safe and has affects on the body similar to insulin.
Some food sources include: wheat germ, brewer's yeast, chicken, corn oil, clams, fresh fruit, potatoes with skin, whole grains, fish, and seafood. There is no known toxicity; however, one should not take chromium supplements if the person works in an environment that has a high level of chromium concentration, such as tanning, steel-making, cement-manufacture, furniture polishing, textile dyeing, etc.
Chromium increases the power of insulin to process sugar, so you need less insulin to do the job, and blood sugar levels drop. Thus, with adequate chromium, much less insulin circulates in the blood to attack artery walls, precipitating atherosclerosis, and possibly plunging you into type II diabetes. By reactivating insulin, chromium alleviates some of the danger of “insulin resistance” that comes on with age. Chromium can even improve insulin resistance in diabetics. Nearly 20 controlled studies have demonstrated the positive effect for chromium in the treatment of diabetes. In clinical studies of type II diabetes patients, supplementing the diet with chromium has been shown to decrease fasting glucose levels, improve glucose tolerance, lower insulin levels, and decrease total cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
