VANADIUM W/CHROMIUM - Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels - Today’s sedentary lifestyles and sugar-rich, nutrient-poor
foods are contributing to the rise of obesity in our society.
The result: challenges to your body’s system of balancing blood
sugar levels and insulin activity. Maintaining a healthy diet and
lifestyle helps keep blood sugar levels in the normal range, but
sometimes you need nutritional support when
you don’t have time to make those healthy
food choices. Source Naturals, the science
company, introduces VANADIUMW/CHROMIUM
for blood sugar support. Research shows that
these two important minerals help maintain
normal blood sugar levels when used as part of
your diet.
Vanadium works together with chromium to support
healthy blood sugar levels. Research has
shown that both of these important minerals play
a key role in normal insulin function.
Vanadium: Balances Insulin Activity
Vanadium, named after Vanadis the Norse goddess
of beauty, belongs to a group of biologically important
metals known as transition elements. These
metals have a natural tendency to form complexes
with organic compounds called coordination compounds
that serve important biological functions.
Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to
high blood glucose levels after meals. Without
insulin, glucose cannot enter cells to provide fuel
for cellular energy. The sugar that remains in the
blood can create problems by binding with protein
molecules, resulting in damaged, non-functioning
structures, in a process called glycation.
Some evidence suggests that vanadium supports
these vital metabolic processes because of its ability
to mimic the actions of insulin.
More Absorbable Form of Vanadium
Absorption of dietary vanadium and supplemental
vanadium is poor. It is estimated that less than
5% of dietary vanadium is absorbed. Organic
forms of vanadium, such as bis-glycinato oxovanadium
or BGOV, are recognized as being more
absorbable. BGOV is an organically bound,
bioavailable form of vanadium ...
