Total Chromium Retention Chromium Nicotinate Time (Hours) OptiZine is zinc monomethionine and is a ChromeMate® niacin-bound chromium (chromium patented 1:1 complex of zinc and methionine which is polynicotinate) is a unique source of performed, biologically an essential amino acid that enhances zinc absorpactive chromium. tion. If you bind zinc with two molecules of methionpatterned after the research of Dr. Walter Mertz, the discoverer of Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), the biologically active form of chromium. Based on the 17 years of research I've quite insoluble and poorly absorbed. not confuse OptiZinc with zinc methionate which has the two molecules of methionine.
It was developed nearly a decade ago and is received, I am convinced that ChromeMate is vastly superior to chromium picolinate which is being promoted by many multi-level companies.
OptiZinc is absorbed better, retained longer For example, Researchers at the University of and more effective than other zinc supplements test- California, at Davis have tested several chromium complexes ed. and concluded that ChromeMate niacin-bound chromium, is OptiZinc stimulates growth, enhances immunity significantly more bioavailable than chromium picolinate and and improves overall health. The potent combination of zinc and methionine helps quench harmful free radicals. ognized antioxidants. plement shown to reduce excess free radical production in humans. per levels, a problem with other zinc supplements.
Another amazing quality of OptiZinc is its resistance to binding to dietary fiber. chromium chloride. year ago and were corroborated. retain this all important nutrient and have it available for use, then what good is it? Above is a graph from that study. Our chromium nicotinate complex retained 311% more chromium than chromium picolinate and 672% more than chromium chloride. Other research showed even other Niacin-bound chromium compounds vary. shows a high-fiber meal can inhibit zinc absorption, is the shape of the GTF complex which is the important factor reducing it to under 3%. in determining the presence or absence of biological activity.
OptiZinc RESISTS dietary fiber and increases zinc absorption better than other zinc supplements tested. Perhaps most remarkable is the fact that OptiZinc is so safe. It's the only high potency zinc supplement FDA-approved for human nutrition. unlike zinc picolinate, OptiZinc won't cause anemia or increase lead levels like zinc citrate. so unique, it’s covered by three patents (U.S. Patents I've tried to make Upper Limit Antioxidant and Upper Limit ChromeMate Plus elite nutritional prodI've also put L-carnitine in ChromeMate Plus, a fat burning Amino Acid.
So there you have it. chromium-niacin complexes tested. Dr. Mertz discovered that niacin combined chromium made it biologically active. niacin-bound chromium strongly potentiates insulin - chromium's most vital function while chromium chloride and chromium picolinate do not.
Simple forms of chromium are poorly absorbed and do not activate insulin.
Athletes are at increased risk of have a chromium deficiency. That's why I've put ChromeMate in ucts.
