DIABETES - Diabetes is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate metabolism and is divided into two groups: Type 1 insulin-dependent (IDDM) also known as juvenile onset, ketotic and brittle diabetes; Type II non-insulin dependent, also called latter-onset or maturity-onset and occurs more often in individuals over age 40. In Type 1, insulin is not being produced due to injury or destruction of the beta-cells in the pancreas. In Type II, insulin is being produced but not enough. Diabetic symptoms can include muscle wasting, weight loss, abdominal pains or cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, double or blurred vision, irritability, rapid or feeble pulse, decrease in blood pressure, flushed or dry skin, excessive urination and thirst. Blood glucose is elevated. Diabetes increases the risk of arteriosclerosis, kidney disease and loss of nerve function. It is associated with diet, usually high in sugar, carbohydrates and fats and seems to be aggravated by obesity. In some persons, Type 1 diabetes is believed to be an auto-immune disease triggered by a nonspecific viral infection that affects the beta cells of the pancreas. It is also suggested that there may be a hereditary predisposition.

Chromium Picolinate is a potent, bioactve source of the essential trace mineral chromium.It plays a vital role in "sensitizing" the body's tissues to the hormone insulin, readily needed for the efficient metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein.
It also enhances glucose metabolism and in doing so, helps suppress cravings for sweet foods such as candy, cake, cookies, ice cream and soda.
Chromium Picolinate is clinically substantiated to address these important health concerns: Weight Management; Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels; Carbohydrate and Sugar Metabolism; and, Cardiovascular Health.
REMEMBER: If taking antacids separate your chromium supplement and doses of antacids by 2 hours. If taking diabetes medications, seek medical supervision before taking a chromium supplement.
REMEMBER: If taking a blood thinning medication such as coumadin and aspirin use might increase the risk of bleeding. Do not take with high amounts of garlic and Vitamin E that might lead to bleeding problems. If taking calcium channel blockers, Ginkgo may reduce effectiveness.

Chromium is Essential for Crucial Functions in the Body
Here's Up-To-Date Research Information for your Good Health . . .
The essential trace nutrient Chromium is a micro-mineral which interacts with insulin secreted by the pancreas to help reduce blood sugar, believed to play a role in controllng type 2 diabetes. When Chromium enhances the action of insulin, a hormone-like substance, it helps control blood sugar. (Elevated blood sugar and insulin are two of the key indicators of diabetes.) With more than 18 million people in the United States who now suffer with diabetes, this growing health threat must be addressed. Proper dietary nutrient intake is critical.
Researchers believe that giving Chromium along with Biotin (B-Complex factor) to diabetics greatly improves blood sugar levels and reduces health risks.
A study in China found that diabetics given 1000 mcg of Chromium Picolinate per day had lower blood sugar levels, better glucose tolerance, less circulating insulin and reduced serum cholesterol after taking the supplements for 60 days (Diabetes vol 45, p. 124A, abstract no. 454, 1996). The researchers in the Chinese study also concluded that Americans might need greater amounts of Chromium to help alleviate diabetic problems. The American diet is heavier in sugar and fat and therefore more demanding on the body's Chromium supplies.
Chromium is also known to aid the physiological functions that limit cholesterol while boosting the growth of muscle mass and helping eliminate body fat.Chromium increases the body fat reduction process. The fat reducing role is believed to stem from the fact that insulin encourages the transportation of fat from blood into fat cells. Consequently, Chromium boosts the effectiveness of insulin, less insulin is secreted and less fat is deposited.
The most common dietary sources of Chromium are legumes (beans, peas, etc.) and mushrooms, as well as brewer's yeast, raisins and shellfish.
Despite the importance of Chromium for insulin function in the body and the growing incidence of diabetes, Americans typically consume too little of this important mineral. Chromium is one of the most important nutrients to supplement on a daily basis because nine out of ten Americans probably consume less than the recommended amounts (minimum 200 mcg daily). (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vol 41, pp. 1177-1183, 1985). ...November 19, 2005

Helping to increase metabolic rate to assist caloric burn. Maximized Green Tea Extract with chromium picolinate, vitamin B6, Kelp, Lecithin and Cider Vinegar. All-in-one comprehensive formula.
Green tea is valuable in aiding weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate, causing those who use it to experience greater calorie burn. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition validates Green Tea's effectiveness, indicating the ingestion of catechins (a major component of green tea extract) leads to both a lowering of body fat as well as cholesterol levels. Green tea is also known to be useful as a glucose regulator, reducing the rise in blood sugar following a meal. It dos this by slowing down the action of the digestive enzyme called amylase. This enzyme is necessary for the breakdown of starches (carbs), that can cause blood sugar levels to increase following a meal. Along with chromium and vitamin B6, green tea is beneficial in proper glucose management. To help support natural weight-management, we've combined authenic green tea with 11 additional fat-fighting ingredients. All-in-one green tea is the dietary supplement specifically formulated for natural weight-management.
Each 3 Capsules Contain:
Green Tea Extract..........................900 mg Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl)................30 mg

Magnesium is needed for the efficient production of enzymes. It is also involved in protein metabolism, utilization of fats and carbohydrates and is necessary for proper nerve function. Both genders need magnesium to keep their bones strong. If you take calcium be sure to take it in a two to one ratio with magnesium.
The heart needs to pulsate at a steady rhythm for peak efficiency. Magnesium helps keep the heart at a regular beat and thereby avoid irregular heart beats (arrhythmias).
A deficiency in magnesium may help explain the fatigue that runs rampant in modern life. Cells store energy by creating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) a process that requires magnesium.
Foods rich in magnesium include almonds, lima beans, peanuts, spinach and tofu.
Manganese is necessary for bone, skin and ligament formation, blood clotting and proper insulin function. It is also an enzyme activator and is said to help in the utilization of Vitamin B-1 and Iron.
Our Manganese is chelated, allowing easier digestion and assimilation into the body.
