Today's "fitness frenzy" is perhaps one of the healthiest and most widespread
societal trends of our century. Weight management and strength training
are two of the most popular goals of fitness-minded individuals. ChromaTone
is a product that can help in both areas. This dietary supplement contains
Gymnema sylvestre, Papaya and Chromium Polynicotinate, a superior form
of chromium, a unique blend of ingredients which allow results you can
measure!
Chromium Polynicotinate is ChromaTone's key ingredient. A U.S. Department
of Agriculture study has shown that nine out of ten Americans get less
than the low-end range of chromium recommended by the National Academy
of Sciences. Studies also indicate that chromium, when combined with appropriate
exercise, has very positive muscle-tissue building and toning properties.
Recommended Use:
Take one to three capsules daily with a large glass of water before meals
or snacks. Do not exceed three capsules per day.
Research Brief
Important compounds in the bloodstream are responsible for transporting
glucose inside cells and maintaining proper glucose and blood lipid (cholesterol)
levels in the body. Chromium has been shown to help increase the sensitivity
of these compounds and help support normal glucose utilization. This aids
in metabolizing fat, turning protein into muscle and converting sugar
into energy. Using Chromium to activate these compounds may actually increase
the amount of glucose available for energy production nearly twenty-fold.
Chromium is at the heart of a biologically active complex called Glucose
Tolerance Factor, or "GTF", which is responsible for potentiating (increasing)
the action of these compounds in the body. A lack of chromium can result
in a host of systemic dysfunctions. Some of these dysfunctions may cause
a loss of life. GTF chromium consists of chromium bound to the B-vitamin,
niacin. The chromium polynicotinate found in Chromatone is a unique form
of oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium found to be 18-times
more potent than other forms of niacin-bound chromium.
