Chromium, GTF Chromium, GTF [Circulatory] is a trace mineral that plays a role
in regulating blood sugar levels. Each "glucose tolerance factor
(GTF)" molecule, a hormonelike compound, requires chromium as its
central atom. GTF works with insulin to transport glucose from the
blood into the cells. When this function is not working properly,
the cells resist insulin and do not properly absorb the glucose
needed for energy. The liver also needs chromium to manufacture
fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. Without
chromium, blood fats tend to rise because the liver cannot filter
them out. Processing destroys much of the chromium content in foods.
Each tablet of GTF chromium contains 500 mcg of chromium amino acid
chelate and chromium nicotinate in a base of horsetail herb, red
clover tops and yarrow flower.
Chromium is the central atom in the “glucose tolerance
factor” (GTF). GTF works with insulin to transport glucose
from the blood into body cells, regulating blood sugar levels.
