Nature's Sunshine  GTF Chromium contains 300 mcg of chromium amino acid chelate and chromium nicotinate in a base of horsetail stems and strobilus, red clover flowers and yarrow aerial parts in each tablet

 Chromium GTF -  is a trace mineral that plays a role in maintaining blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.

Each “glucose tolerance factor”(GTF) molecule, a hormone-like compound, requires chromium as its central atom. GTF is thought to work with insulin to transport glucose from the blood into the cells.
 
The liver also needs chromium to manufacture fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. 
Chromium may positively affect blood fat levels and the liver filtration process. Processing destroys much of the chromium content in foods.
 

Chromium is the central atom in the “glucose tolerance factor” (GTF). 

GTF works with insulin to transport glucose from the blood into body cells, regulating blood sugar levels.

Although there is only the smallest amount of chromium stored in an adult body (less than six milligrams), this trace mineral plays a vital role in several life-sustaining cellular processes essential for maintaining good health, proper weight and normal blood sugar levels. Specifically, chromium is a co-factor in regulating blood sugar levels. Together with insulin it plays a role in protein metabolism and aids in fat breakdown.

The North American processed-food diet makes it difficult to maintain adequate stores of chromium. In fact, processed foods and foods high in sugar and simple carbohydrates deplete chromium stores because they add sugar and carbohydrates to the blood stream but do not, in themselves, supply the chromium that helps to regulate blood sugar levels.

 Benefits of Nature's Sunshine GTF Chromium :

• Helps balance blood sugar levels.
• Aids in the control of glucose and fatty acids.
• Promotes energy by helping transport glucose to cells.
• Cuts down on the body’s need for insulin, which may result in improved arterial health.
