Overview Natural Factors Chromium &Vanadium supplies two essential minerals for healthy glucose metabolism. It helps the body metabolize carbohydrates and fats, and is a factor in the maintenance of good health. The minerals are chelated to increase absorption and are suitable for those with digestive disturbances. Medicinal Ingredients Each capsule contains: Elemental Chromium GTF** (HVP* Chelate) 100 mcg Elemental Vanadium (Citrate) 25 mcg *HVP: Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (rice) **GTF: Glucose Tolerance Factors Non-Medicinal Ingredients Microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin capsule (gelatin, purified water), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant). Advanced Info In small amounts, chromium is essential for metabolic processes that regulate blood sugar, and help insulin transport glucose into cells, where it can be used for energy. Chromium maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization and therefore helps maintain normal metabolism and proper weight. As it enhances the action of insulin, chromium is necessary for storage of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It is needed for energy production and is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins. Inadequate intake of chromium has been linked to glucose intolerance, and may lead to symptoms of diabetes. Vanadium has been shown to have the ability to improve insulin utilization, resulting in improved glucose tolerance.
