Vanadium with Chromium Helps Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels Vanadium is a biologically important metal that is essential for normal cell function and development. Vanadium has been shown to help maintain blood sugar levels that are in the normal range by its insulin-like effects in the liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (fatty tissue that surrounds our organs). Chromium is a trace element that plays a significant role in helping to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood and maintain blood sugar and cholesterol levels in the normal range. Source Naturals Vanadium with Chromium helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels when used as part of your diet. Vanadium: Balances Insulin Activity Vanadium, named after Vanadis the Norse goddess of beauty, belongs to a group of biologically important metals known as transition elements. These metals have a natural tendency to form complexes with organic compounds called coordination compounds that serve important biological functions. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels after meals. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter cells to provide fuel for cellular energy. The sugar that remains in the blood can create problems by binding with protein molecules, resulting in damaged, non-functioning structures, in a process called glycation. Some evidence suggests that vanadium supports these vital metabolic processes because of its ability to mimic the actions of insulin. More Absorbable Form of Vanadium Absorption of dietary vanadium and supplemental vanadium is poor. It is estimated that less than 5% of dietary vanadium is absorbed. Organic forms of vanadium, such as bis-glycinato oxovanadium or BGOV, are recognized as being more absorbable. BGOV is an organically bound, bioavailable form of vanadium complexed with the amino acid glycine. Glycine, an amino acid found in the protein of all life forms, generates superior vanadium absorption. Chromium: Supports Glucose Metabolism Chromium is a trace element the body needs in very small amounts, but it plays a significant role in human nutrition. Its most important function is to help regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. Insulin plays a role in this process, by regulating the movement of glucose out of the blood and into the cells. Chromium is a key constituent of the compound known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF). This mineral enhances the effectiveness of insulin, encouraging glucose to enter cells, where it can be burned for fuel. Chromium participates in glucose metabolism by enhancing the effects of insulin. Insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of cells, activating those receptors and stimulating glucose uptake by cells. Through its interaction with insulin receptors, insulin provides cells with glucose for energy and prevents blood glucose levels from becoming elevated. Glucose buildup in the bloodstream is associated with adverse changes in lipid profiles and increased challenges for cardiovascular health. Some studies examining the effects of chromium supplementation on lipid profiles have observed reduction in serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Source Naturals Vanadium with Chromium includes ChromeMate, a patented compound of chromium and niacin with proven GTF activity. Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 tablet Amount %DV Chromium GTF (as polynicotinate [ChromeMate]) 200 mcg 170 Vanadium (as bis-glycinato-oxo-vanadium) 1 mg Other Ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose and stearic acid. Warning: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or have any glucose metabolism disorder, consult your health care professional before using Vanadium Chromium product. Suggested Use: 1 Vanadium with Chromium tablet daily with food. Do not exceed suggested use except as directed by your physician.
