Chromium Matrix with Vanadium

• A stable and well-absorbed chromium, with added vanadium, for healthy blood sugar control and insulin regulation.
• 200 mcg of elemental chromium, delivered as a complete nicotinate glycinate chelate for optimal tolerance and absorption, to improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
• An additional 25 mcg of vanadium, administered as vanadyl sulfate, to enhance the effects of chromium and ensure good insulin sensitivity at the tissue level
  

Poor insulin signaling and irregular blood sugar levels are not only hallmarks of several diseases, but also of reduced quality of life with mood swings, erratic food cravings, and energy crashes. Insulin resistance is perhaps the most troubling result of this ongoing progression. Insulin resistance occurs when tissues no longer respond to insulin's signal to lower blood sugar, and it is a common pathophysiological feature of several conditions, including metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and cognitive decline, to name a few. Essential minerals like chromium help prevent this pathophysiological progression.

Research has shown that chromium, in various forms, can reduce insulin resistance and lower the risk of later health problems such as metabolic syndrome. Chromium is essential because it is necessary for the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and corticosteroids. While chromium picolinate is best known and studied for its ability to improve blood sugar control, chromium bound to nicotinic acid and glycine offers several benefits.

First, the intestinal absorption rate of chromium is generally very low. Providing chromium in a chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate overcomes this problem to provide superior digestive tolerance and absorption. Second, niacin and glycine each offer benefits for blood sugar regulation. For example, providing glycine before a meal has been shown to mitigate the corresponding rise in blood sugar. Niacin, on the other hand, is well known for promoting healthy lipid balance, but when combined with chromium, it has also been shown to improve body weight and composition.

Chromium Matrix with Vanadium contains chromium nicotinate glycinate with additional vanadium to increase insulin sensitivity at the tissue level. It offers one of the most effective forms of chromium delivery for optimal blood sugar and insulin regulation.
