Pharma Nord Bio-chromium 100mcg 60 Tablets

Product Description

Chromium is an essential trace element. It functions in an organic complex called ‘ Glucose Tolerance Factor’ (GTF). GTF is responsible for chromium’s many beneficial effects. Chromium depletion has been implicated in high blood cholesterol levels & in poor glucose tolerance. When considering blood sugar levels, chromium works together with the hormone insulin to regulate the levels. Chromium supplements have been used to treat a variety of disorders. Its primary use is in helping to maintain blood sugar levels in individuals tending towards diabetes. Chromium has also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels & increase lean muscle mass for people wishing to lose weight. Bio-Chromium contains 100g of organic chromium which is 25 times more bioavailable (absorbed) than inorganic chromium. Other forms may not be as bio-available or as safe. There are many scientific papers that show the beneficial effects of chromium preparations, particularly in reducing body fat & regulating blood glucose levels. There are no known drug interactions or contra-indications with other forms of medicament for chromium. Insulin dependent diabetics should only take chromium under medical supervision. This is because chromium may reduce the body’s need for insulin.
