Chromium with Vitamins and Minerals Formulated by well-known osteopath/naturopath Martin Budd, N.D., D.O., Lic.Ac., Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) is a complex which functions in the body to allow for complete utilization of glucose for energy. GTF facilitates the transport of glucose across all membranes, enabling the cells to use the glucose for ATP production (ATP is the energy fuel for all biochemical reactions). Many vitamins and minerals are vital to the function of GTF. Features The B vitamins are involved in all aspects of glucose metabolism, especially in the oxidative Kreb's cycle. Vitamin E functions to maintain the integrity of the cell membrane, thereby enhancing many cellular processes. For instance, by increasing the fluidity of the membrane, it increases the communication between insulin receptors and glucose. Chromium is a mineral that acts as a blood sugar regulator. It is part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which regulates the action of insulin at the cellular level. A deficiency of chromium can reduce GTF and result in blood sugar irregularities. Zinc has a great influence on carbohydrate metabolism. It is a component of energy enzymes such as lactate/malate dehydrogenases, and helps regulate energy production from glucose. Also contains pancreatic glandulars: glandulars are thought to provide precursor substances that the body can use to support and enhance the function of a specific gland.
