GTF
Chromium Prevents Nausea by Metabolizing Your Alcohol
Once
you consume alcohol, it quickly converts in your body
to glucose (natural sugar). Chromium is an essential
trace mineral that is essential in producing many enzymes
your body depends on. These enzymes are needed to metabolize
glucose into usable energy. Your body will not properly
absorb or process the glucose from your food and liquids
unless you have enough chromium readily available to
utilize them.
Part
of the nausea you experience from a hangover can be
compared to overdosing on sugar. So if you do not help
the sugar turn to energy – it is going to feel
terrible. Our GTF Chromium helps your body convert
the alcohol you drink into usable energy before it turns
into an overdose of glucose that will make you sick.
The Letters ‘GTF’ stand for Glucose
Tolerance Factor.
Our GTF Chromium is well absorbed.
It
is important that Chromium be active (‘Organic’).
Inorganic chromium salts (such as chromium acetate)
do not contain biological activity and are poorly absorbed.
Studies have shown Inorganic chromium salts may cause
toxicity particularly in the kidneys.
Chromium
polycotinate (ChromeMate) is well absorbed and this
form is nontoxic in contrast to inorganic chromium salts.
Our GTF Chromium is a chromium polynicotinate compound
that is a PH stable form of organically bound chromium.
GTF
Chromium (ChromeMate) is the only chromium supplement
approved by the U.S. patent office for use in lowering
blood cholesterol levels. Chromium Picolinate
is a common chromium supplement, but it has been proven
that this form is far less effective in than GTF Chromium
(ChromeMate) in metabolizing glucose into usable energy
and lowering blood cholesterol levels.
We
take our GTF Chromium one level further by putting it
thru our Micro Vortex Enteric Coating Manufacturing
Process. This ensures that the GTF Chromium
bypasses the stomach acids and is absorbed effectively
in your blood.
Although
the amount of chromium needed by healthy adults is between
50 to 200 mcg per day, your body needs much more chromium
immediately available. It has also been proven that
pregnant women, diabetics, individuals under chronic
stress and individuals who exercise regularly have higher
chromium requirements. This is because these people’s
bodies receive more stress than the average person.
When you drink alcohol your body is also experiencing
an influx in ‘stress’ and Chromium is can
help with this stress.
9
out of 10 adults do not consume the minimum amount of
chromium. The main reason for this is that chromium
assimilation from foods is as low as 1-2%. Chromium
is also quickly depleted in the body during the processing
of grains and sugar. Therefore individuals who eat large
quantities of processed grains and sugar are invariably
chromium deficient. Ironically, alcohol is derived from
grains and it makes sense why increased Chromium is
needed during alcohol consumption.
Clinical
studies have found that GTF Chromium:
a)
Metabolizes glucose into energy
b) increases fat burning and weight loss
c) increases muscle size and strength in athletes
(especially in weight training)
d) increases energy and reduces fatigue
e) reduces cholesterol levels
f) stabilizes blood sugar levels
It
was in the 1950’s that chromium was identified
as the #1 active component of Glucose Tolerance Factor
(GTF). In the 1970’s it was shown that diabetes
patients that could not respond to insulin were able
to after chromium was added to the intravenous nutrient
solution. Chromium was then identified as an essential
element in human nutrition. It is now known that chromium
is involved in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.
