GTF is a hormone-like compound that works with insulin to transport glucose out of the blood and into the cells. The liver also needs chromium to manufacture fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. GTF Excell Chromium Yeast may also positively affect blood fat levels and the liver filtration process. Neither chromium by itself nor chelated forms of chromium are bioactive. Only the chromium complex from yeast (GTF) is activated; so the body may use the mineral effectively in the following manner by:

As with our other food-form minerals, Cypress Systems uses a yeast fermentation process (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that mimics the way plants organically bind minerals into membranes and protein structures. This standardized fermentation method ensures that your customers will always get a Glucose Tolerance Factor Chromium (GTF) product that is 20-to-50 times richer in whole-food forms of chromium complex than other forms of GTF.
Chromium picolinate is synthetically produced. It is not food-bound and not generated by a living organism. Picolinate and polynicotinate are ‘pseudo-organic’ chemicals, used to chelate chromium and are not found in the body at any appreciable level. The absorption of non-food forms of chromium, like chromium picolinate is low due to degradation in the stomach at a low pH. Thus, picolinate has been shown to be about equally absorbed as inorganic chromium salt (Chromium trichloride).
