PRODUCT IS A SYNERGISTIC MIXTURE OF:
Cinnamon and Chromium Picolinate
PRODUCT DISCUSSION
Cinnamon and Chromium Picolinate are two clinically studied ingredients for support of sugar and fat metabolism. In a lab study involving 50 different herbs and spices, Cinnamon was found to be the most bioactive ingredient tested. Chromium is involved with proper receptor functioning necessary for nutrient metabolism.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Cinnamon is an ancient herb mentioned in Chinese texts as long ago as 4,000 years, and has an expansive range of historical uses in many different cultures. It contains the important compounds eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, and has been traditionally used for wellness. Cinnamon has been shown to enhance in vitro glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis and to increase phosphorylation of the insulin receptor; moreover, cinnamon extracts are likely to aid in triggering the insulin cascade system.
Research indicates that as a supplement, Cinnamon helps support sugar and fat metabolism in the body. It also helps to maintain a healthy metabolism of nutrients, making it an excellent choice for an herbal addition to your health program.
Chromium is an essential trace element essential to humans for proper carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Chromium exists in several valence states, of which the trivalent (III) and hexavalent states are the most common. Most chromium in the food supply is in the trivalent state. Chromium picolinate consists of organic trivalent chromium and picolinic acid, a natural derivative of tryptophan.
A naturally-occurring oligopeptide, low-molecularweight Chromium-binding substance (LMWCr), binds four Chromium ions and is capable of binding to sugar metabolism receptors, promoting receptor kinase activity. It acts in a similar manner as Calmodulin does with Calcium, and hence is named Chromodulin. Chromium is also part of the Glucose Tolerance Factor, composed of chromic ion, nicotinic acid, and amino acids glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine.
INDICATIONS
Glucose metabolism can be a concern for people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. In baked goods, levels of cinnamon can range from 1.3-1.4%. In contrast, our Cinnamon supplement provides 1000 mg of Cinnamon per capsule, and 1 gram of Cinnamon per daily serving. Taking advantage of the benefits of Cinnamon in supplement form may be a more practical choice than just relying on the small amounts you may eat in foods. The National Research Council estimates that chromium intake in the U.S. is 25-33 mcg/day, with more than 90% of persons having a suboptimal daily intake of less than 50mcg/day. Supplementing with chromium in an absorbable complex with picolinic acid is an easy and affordable way to support the metabolism of glucose and other dietary macronutrients.
