Aliness Chromium GTF is a dietary supplement which is a source of chromium from the fermentation process of nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This form of the element is characterized mainly by very high bioavailability and safety of the usage.
Chromium is an element of great biological significance for the human body. It is one of the microelements necessary for the proper functioning of the system. Its presence has been found, among others, in active sites of numerous enzymes and in the so-called glucose tolerance factor (GTF). We are also attributing chromium the role of coenzyme in numerous important metabolic reactions.
A unique form of chromium
Most chromium supplements contain organic chromium salts (mainly picolinate) or its inorganic forms (chromium chloride). The source of chromium in the presented preparation are yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which during the process of controlled fermentation were fed, among others, with this mineral, which made it possible to build it into their structure. As research shows, the chromium from the yeast is very well absorbed and has excellent bioavailability. It should also be remembered that apart from chromium, such a complex of yeasts may also contain other, very desirable compounds naturally occurring in nutritional yeasts, such as amino acids, vitamins, fibre and glutathione.
Effects of chromium on glucose-insulin metabolism
Chromium supports the metabolism of macronutrients (especially carbohydrates) and helps maintain blood glucose levels in a normal range. The exact mechanism of this action is yet unknown. It is probably related to the active form of this element, the so-called chromodulin, which can bind to an insulin receptor located on the inside of the cell wall, thus promoting the effective transport of compound to the cell. Studies show that chromium deficiency may result in abnormal glucose tolerance.
To sum up, Aliness Chromium GTF is a dietary enrichment supplement with easily absorbed and highly bioavailable chromium. It is best suited for people with a deficiency of chromium, although it may also be useful for lovers of a high-carbohydrate diet to support its possible side-effects.
