NUTRILITE Glucose Health includes chromium picolinate, an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in activating a key enzyme involved in metabolism. One small study suggests that chromium picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain.
This formula also includes vanadium, a trace mineral that research suggests may support the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides. And it adds a special blend of herbs believed to have a beneficial effect on carbohydrate metabolism:
- 300 mg Garcinia cambogia
- 33.3 mg Gymnema sylvestre
- 33.3 mg NUTRILITE Parsley Concentrate
