When you turn to the pages of Living Well magazine, you are likely to read about a variety of health issues in respect to using AIM’s natural health products. Such is the case with the dietary supplement that targets blood glucose health: GlucoChrom.
Glucose is an “energy” sugar that your body gets from the breakdown of carbohydrates in foods. It is circulated in the bloodstream so that it can be moved into cells for immediate energy or stored for later use as glycogen. Although sufficient amounts of glucose are needed to fuel cells, serious health issues arise when high levels of this sugar remain circulating in the bloodstream. This is why it’s essential to manage blood glucose levels. GlucoChrom can assist.
GlucoChrom’s Trace Minerals
GlucoChrom helps to move glucose into cells with its main ingredient: chromium. The presence of this essential trace mineral enhances the activity of insulin, the hormone that regulates glucose levels in the bloodstream. People who do not respond well to insulin tend to have insufficient levels of chromium.
The GlucoChrom formulation contains a second trace mineral: vanadium. Research indicates that vanadium enhances the effects of insulin by interacting with the membranes and proteins of cells, actions that likely influence insulin receptors.
GlucoChrom’s Herbs
The presence of bitter melon increases the activity of enzymes that convert glucose into glycogen-stored energy and may lower glucose by suppressing glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar.
Gymnema sylvestre is recognized for stabilizing blood glucose and lowering caloric intake by reducing cravings for sugary foods. People who have blood glucose issues are more likely to be overweight.
A healthy diet, exercise and taking GlucoChrom promotes decreased body fat and increased lean muscle mass, adding to the benefits of GlucoChrom being a blood glucose assistant.
