CHROMIUM
Chromium
enriched yeast helps to normalize blood sugar, potentiating
the action of insulin (Glucose Tolerance Factor) and plays an
important role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.
Chromium is
an essential nutrient required for normal carbohydrate and
fat metabolism. Insufficient dietary intake of chromium leads to
signs and symptoms that are similar to those observed in diabetes
and cardiovascular diseases.
Dietary
intake of chromium in the U.S and most industrialized
countries is suboptimal due to the extensive processing of our
foods. The estimated and safe daily intake for chromium is 50 to 200
micrograms. Most diets, however, contain less than 60% of the
minimum suggested intake. Supplemental chromium given to people with
impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes leads to improved blood
glucose, insulin, and lipid variables.
Strenuous
exercise, high sugar diets and physical trauma result in
high chromium losses and increase the need for chromium supplements.
Chromium has been also shown to improve lean body mass in humans and
certain animals.
A
significantly increased rate of growth was observed in a
group of malnourished children given a chromium supplement.
Response to
chromium is dependent upon the form and the amount of
supplemental chromium. Organic GTF is an excellent source of
biologically active chromium.
No documented
signs of chromium toxicity have been reported in the many
chromium supplementation studies over the past three decades.
Nutritecks Chromium
Yeast is grown from special strains of yeast on natural
ingredients enriched with chromium. Primary grown high chromium
yeast is reported to have significantly greater level of
biologically active chromium than inorganic chromium.
High Chromium
Yeast is a biologically active form of chromium and is
better absorbed than inorganic chromium. High chromium yeast is the
preferred form of chromium for nutrition supplements.
GLUCOSE
TOLERANCE FACTOR Chromium is recognized as a trace element
essential for human nutrition and it must be obtained from the diet.
Chromium, as the central part of Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF),
enhances the effect of insulin in the body. This factor improves
glucose tolerance and insulin efficacy. Nutritecks Organic GTF
contains high levels of organic chromium that is available for GTF.
Glucose
Tolerance Factor (GTF) has been shown to be related to
normal carbohydrate metabolism.
Chromium
deficiency in humans leads to symptoms associated with
diabetes such as glucose intolerance, unexpected weight losses and
impaired nerve conduction.
Chromium
deficiency occurs in older individuals, diabetics and those
consuming large amounts of carbohydrates and sugars. Chromium
supplements are suggested for those individuals.
Insulin
requiring diabetics have been shown to have an abnormal
rate of chromium absorption. During the first 24 hours after a
single oral dose of chromium, the individuals absorbed two or more
times more chromium than normal subjects.
Chromium
potentiates or enhances the action of insulin, it does not
replace insulin. With an optimum level of chromium in the body, less
insulin is required to keep glucose levels under control.
A study with
diabetics showed that inorganic chromium was ineffective in
improving glucose tolerance while a six month supplement of high
chromium yeast normalized the glucose tolerance as measured by the
glucose tolerance test.
Biologically active chromium supplements, such as high chromium
yeast, will decrease blood sugar of people with elevated
glucose values (hyperglycemic) and increase that of those with low
blood sugar (hypoglycemic).
ESSENTIAL TRACE ELEMENT
IN LIPID METABOLISM
Improvements
in overall lipid metabolism, like those for glucose and insulin
variables, are dependent upon the amount of supplemental chromium.
Suboptimal chromium intake is associated with signs and symptoms of
chromium deficiency that are similar to those for cardiovascular
diseases.
Total
cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL)- and high
density lipoprotein (HDL) -cholesterol, total cholesterolIHDL
ratio, and triglycerides have all been shown to improve in humans as
well as animals following chromium supplementation.
Chromium
supplementation of elderly subjects causes significant
decreases in total cholesterol with larger decreases in subjects
with the highest levels prior to supplementation.
Chromium
supplementation in test group of men led to significant
decreases in serum triglycerides and increases in HDL-cholesterol
compared to placebo-treated subjects.
Chromium
supplementation of patients being treated for diabetes led
to significant improvements in diabetic symptoms and also increases
in HDL-cholesterol.
Chromium may
also help control hypertension. One study has shown
prevention of sugar-induced hypertension in spontaneously
hypertensive rats.
Daily
supplementation of chromium substantially increases HDL
cholesterol, which is considered one of the best indicators of risk
of heart diseases.

MOLYBDENUM
The body
contains about 9 mg of molybdenum. Present in all tissues,
it is found mainly in the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, bones, and
skin. It is important to several enzyme systems, most significantly
that of xanthine oxidase, which supports many functions, including
uric acid metabolism and mobilization of iron from the liver for
body use. Molybdenum is fairly easily absorbed in the
gastrointestinal tract, though it competes with copper at absorption
sites. It is eliminated through the urine and the bile.
Functions
Molybdenum is a vital part of
three important enzyme systems, xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase,
and sulfite oxidase.It has a vital role in uric acid
formation and iron utilization, in carbohydrate metabolism, and
sulfite detoxification. In the soil and possibly in the body, as the
enzyme nitrate reductase, molybdenum can reduce the
production or counteract the actions of nitrosamines, known
cancer-causing chemicals, especially in the colon. Found more in
molybdenum-deficient soils, nitrosamines have been associated with
high rates of esophageal cancer.
Xanthine oxidase
(XO) helps in the production of uric acid, an end product
of protein (purine) metabolism. Though an excess of uric acid is
known to cause gout, recent studies show that, in proper
concentrations in the blood, it has antioxidant properties and helps
protect the cells and tissues from irritation and damage caused by
single oxygens and hydroxyl free radicals. Thus, uric acid has a new
image as being an important part of balanced human function and not
just a waste product. Xanthine oxidase may also help in the
mobilization of iron from liver reserves.
Aldehyde oxidase
helps in the oxidation of carbohydrates and other aldehydes,
including acetaldehyde produced from ethyl alcohol.
Sulfite oxidase helps to
detoxify sulfurs in the body, particularly sulfites, which
are used to preserve food. These potentially toxic and harmful
substances can cause nausea or diarrhea and precipitate asthma
attacks in sensitive individuals.
Requirements
• RDA
Recommendations (USA, 1989]
• 75-250 mcg/day for adults
•50-150 mcg/day for children (7-10 years)
•15-40
mcg/day for infants
• The amount provided by
the average diet ranges from 50-500 mcg/day.
• A safe and sensible amount of added
molybdenum is from 150-500 mcg/day for adults and 50-300 mcg/day for
children.
Further research is required, but it
appears that molybdenum is very important for optimum health and
longevity.
Deficiency
and Toxicity
Molybdenum, like most trace
minerals, is required in a specific narrow range of daily
intake; amounts much greater than this may be toxic. Animals given
large amounts experience weight loss, slow growth, anemia, or
diarrhea, though these effects may be more the result of low levels
of copper, a mineral with which molybdenum competes.
Information about molybdenum
deficiency is limited. Low soil levels of molybdenum lead
to increased levels of nitrates and nitrosamines, which increase the
risk of cancer, especially in the esophagus and stomach.
Depletions or deficiencies of
molybdenum are common, and its availability in foods is
decreased through soil depletion and food processing. This mineral
has come to the nutritional forefront in the last decade with the
recognition of its essential nature and the concern about
deficiency.
Sources
The food levels
of molybdenum depend largely on soil content. Whole grains,
particularly the germ, usually have substantial amounts; oats,
buckwheat, and wheat germ are some examples of grains containing
molybdenum. Many vegetables and legumes are also good sources.
Brewer*s yeast, liver and organ meats are often fairly high in
molybdenum.

ZINC
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS ON ZINC ENRICHED YEAST
As the use of
nutritional supplements increase, there is a growing
consumer demand for more sophisticated information on the products
they are consuming. Some of the questions on Zinc Yeast concern the
importance of zinc in the diet, the bio-availability of organic Zinc
Yeast versus inorganic sources and toxicity issues. Zinc enriched
yeast is the natural convenient, safe and economical way to increase
zinc intake.
IMPORTANCE OF ZINC YEAST IN HUMAN DIET
There
is considerable evidence that zinc deficiency in humans is
a serious worldwide problem as a result of soil losses and losses in
food processing, this deficiency or depletion can produce a variety
of symptoms. Zinc is involved in a multitude of human body functions
and is part of many enzyme systems. Zinc is important in normal
growth and development, the maintenance of body tissues, sexual
function, the immune system, and detoxification of chemicals and
metabolic irritants.
Essential
partof more than 200 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism
With regards
to metabolism, zinc is part of alcohol dehydrogenase, which
helps the liver detoxify alcohols, including ethanol, methanol,
ethylene glycol and retinol (Vitamin A). Zinc is needed for lactate
and malate dehydrogenase, both important in energy production. Zinc
in carboxypeptidase (a digestive enzyme) helps in protein digestion.
Critical
Immune Response
Zinc is used
in a variety of immune responses. It is one of the
supportive nutrients used to treat lowered immunity. Zinc has been
shown to increase T lymphocyte production and enhance other white
blood cell functions.
Zinc is
effective in treating skin problems, and may have an
anti-inflammatory function.
Zinc is one
of the micro-nutrients used to treat skin problems such as
boils, bedsores, general dermatitis and acne. Psoriasis is even
occasionally responsive to zinc supplementation. Zinc may have an
anti-inflammatory function, especially in the joints and artery
linings.
Wound Healing
Effect of Zinc
Zinc is used
commonly to enhance wound healing. Taken before surgery,
zinc has been shown in numerous studies to speed recovery time and
reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, such as wound
infections.
Zinc &
Chromium are known to be important trace elements in diabetes as a
cofactor for insulin.
Zinc is
important to normal insulin activity. It is a required
element for the normal exocrine and endocrine function of the
pancreas.
Zinc effects
on cadmium toxicity
Zinc therapy
can reduce cadmium toxicity from pollution or from cadmium
in water or foods. Cadmium toxicity may aggravate hypertension,
atherosclerosis, and heart disease and produce complications of
hypertension or stroke.
DEFFICIENCY AND TOXICITY OF ZINC
Zinc is
fairly non toxic, especially in amounts of less than
100-150 mg of elemental zinc daily. The Recommended Dietary
Allowance (RDA) for zinc in adults is 15 mg with additional amounts
needed during pregnancy and lactation (up to 25 mg). With
infections, burns, before or after surgery, in pregnancy, or with
aging, 50-75 mg of zinc per day is suggested as a therapeutic dose.
Groups at risk, such as growing children, pregnant women and elderly
people should have a higher zinc intake provided by dietary measures
or supplementation.
Recommended
Dietary Allowances for Zinc
Under 1 year
3-5 mg
1-10 years 10
mg
11 years and
older 15 mg
Pregnant
Women 20-25 mg
Lactating
women 25-30 mg

Food Grade
Yeasts (of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are widely used in
Beer and Wine Brewing, baking of foods such as bread and cookies and
in feeding of humans and animals. It is very important to emphasize
that yeasts are able to naturally metabolize inorganic minerals into
organic forms, similar to what plants do. Plants do the conversion
for us taking the minerals from the soil. Mineral enriched yeasts do
this by taking the minerals from enriched molasses providing one of
the best natural food forms of minerals human can consume.
Furthermore, yeasts have an excellent storage mechanism for
B-vitamins , as do other organisms, for factors needed for growth
and life. Yeast is a naturally rich source of proteins, minerals and
B-complex vitamins. Not only does mineral enriched yeast offer a
natural form of mineral, it also provides other nutrients when
consumed.
