Chromium (200ug) Complex is a targeted nutritional supplement providing 200ug of chromium in a bioavailable form alongside synergistic co-nutrients to support healthy blood glucose regulation, normal macronutrient metabolism, and sustained energy levels. GTF stands for Glucose Tolerance Factor, which refers to the biologically active form of chromium that interacts with insulin to facilitate the normal uptake of glucose into cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is an essential trace mineral that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and normal macronutrient metabolism. It works by enhancing insulin sensitivity — the ability of the body's cells to respond to the insulin signal and allow glucose to enter for energy production. When chromium levels are inadequate, insulin may become less effective, potentially leading to blood sugar fluctuations, carbohydrate cravings, and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium picolinate is one of the most widely studied and bioavailable forms of supplemental chromium, having been shown in research to effectively raise chromium levels in the body and support healthy blood glucose and insulin responses. This formula complements the chromium with zinc, which contributes to normal carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant that also supports insulin function and glucose metabolism. Together these nutrients provide a comprehensive approach to metabolic health and blood sugar balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis supplement contains 100% active ingredients, is free from artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's strict ethical standards. Not recommended during pregnancy without professional advice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian","offers":[{"title":"30 Veg Caps","offer_id":57473039532419,"sku":"VDN-0315","price":9.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"90 Veg Caps","offer_id":57473039565187,"sku":"VDN-0317","price":23.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/7191\/6675\/files\/VDN-0315_2f31ad45-ccd6-4dfc-917c-db509edd0db4.jpg?v=1772275157","url":"https:\/\/zenhealthfoods.com\/products\/viridian-g-t-f-chromium-200ug-complex","provider":"Zen Health Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
