NSI Chromium GTF ChromeMate -- 200 mcg - 300 Capsules

NSI Chromium GTF ChromeMate -- 200 mcg - 300 Capsules

Helps support healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels. How Does NSI® Chromium GTF with ChromeMate® work? Chromium is an essential trace mineral found in foods such as fish, whole wheat bread, brown sugar, coffee, tea and some spices. Once in the body, its main function is to help insulin bring glucose from the blood into cells for energy. Back in the 1950s, researchers discovered that a compound called "glucose tolerance factor" (GTF) helped rats with poor blood sugar health to use insulin more efficiently. Insulin is a hormone that's needed to convert sugar, starches and other foods into energy. When an individual has poor blood sugar health, they either do not produce enough insulin or their bodies are not able to use it properly. Chromium was identified as the active component of GTF. NSI® Chromium GTF features ChromeMate®, a unique, patented niacin-bound chromium. NSI® Chromium GTF is better because it:. Contains ChromeMate®. Delivers 200 mcg of GTF chromium in one one-capsule serving.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.
