ChromeMate® Questions
What is ChromeMate®?
ChromeMate® (generically
called chromium nicotinate, chromium polynicotinate or niacin-bound chromium)
is a patented oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium complex that
plays an important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy
blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of
healthy body weight.* Protected by three U.S. Patents, four international
patents and other world-wide patents pending, ChromeMate® is the only
niacin-bound chromium supplement with proven biological activity.
What does ChromeMate®
do?
Combined with exercise and a
sensible diet, ChromeMate® helps:
-
Maintain healthy body weight and promotes normal energy metabolism*
-
Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes cardiovascular health*
-
Promote normal insulin function and maintains healthy blood sugar levels*
How does ChromeMate® work?
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 insulin in the body. Insulin is a vital hormone responsible for
transporting glucose inside cells and maintaining proper blood sugar and blood
lipid (cholesterol) levels in the body. Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat,
turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact,
chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for
energy production nearly twenty-fold.
A lack of chromium can result in type II diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
Dr. Walter Mertz, former director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human
Nutrition Research Center, established that GTF chromium consists of chromium
bound to the B-vitamin, niacin. ChromeMate® is a unique form
of oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium found to be 18-times more
potent than other forms of niacin-bound chromium tested. Protected by three
U.S. patents, four international patents and other world-wide patents pending,
ChromeMate® is the only niacin-bound chromium supplement with proven biological
activity.
How is ChromeMate® different?
ChromeMate® is a unique, patented niacin-bound chromium
complex that significantly increases the bioavailability and biological
activity of chromium. Studies have shown that ChromeMate® is
18-times more bioactive than other forms of niacin-bound chromium and, in
animal models used to evaluate bioavailability in humans, is absorbed and
retained more than 600% greater than chromium chloride and 300% greater than
chromium picolinate.**
Additional clinical (human) and sub-clinical (animal) studies have shown that
ChromeMate® lowers serum cholesterol and improves HDL (good)
cholesterol levels, lowers blood pressure, reduces body weight, increases lean
body mass and promotes proper insulin function in the body. One study showed
that ChromeMate® plus exercise in obese women resulted in
significant loss of body weight, while chromium picolinate did not. Another
study in obese human subjects showed that ChromeMate® reduced
body fat, while sparing lean muscle mass.* For additional information on ChromeMate®
research, click here.
**Results of
six tissues tested one hour after administration. Absorption and retention
decreased in all groups at each successive time point measured, but continued
to be greatest in animals fed ChromeMate®.
How much ChromeMate® should I take?
The recommended adult daily dosage
is 200-400 micrograms (elemental chromium as ChromeMate®)
taken with a meal. For additional information on dosing, follow manufacturer's
recommended use printed on the label and/or talk to your healthcare
professional.

nutritional ingredient available in a wide variety of dietary supplements and
nutraceutical food and beverage products. Most products can be found at your
