Trace Elements and Glucose Metabolism.

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Trace metals serve as cofactors for enzymes in the body, especially those necessary for sugar control and insulin activity. Cofactors increase the speed of reactions. Examples are chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), lithium (Li) and vanadium (Va). Deficiencies of any of these trace minerals appear to be important to immunity and metabolism. Cr increases […]

Arabinose and Chromium in Blood Glucose and Insulin.

Posted on October 17, 2013 by Dr. Gary Pack

This study was done to test a combination of l-arabinose and trivalent chromium and the effects on blood glucose and insulin levels in humans. L-arabinose is a sweet-tasting sugar which is inexpensive, easily absorbed and has been shown to reduce the absorption of dietary sucrose. This prevents elevated levels of blood glucose and insulin. Chromium […]
