A New Type of Chromium Supplement
A New Type of Chromium Supplement
by Andrew Myers,N.D.
Chromium is an important mineral for those
concerned about blood sugar levels. But what is the best way
to get it?
AIM has developed something we call
"leaf-brand" nutrients. We use the barley plant (naturally!)
to provide specific amounts of a specific nutrient. The first
product to use this innovative technology is
AIM GlucoChrom,
which contains chromium as it is found in the barley
leaf.
In this technology, barley grass is grown
hydroponically (where nutrition is supplied through liquid
rather than soil). At the right time in the growing cycle, we
use a proprietary process to alter the growing environment and
increase the levels of a specific nutrient. We are thus able
to grow barley leaf that contains the amounts of chromium we
specify. There is no hybridization or genetic
alteration.
We cannot underestimate the importance of
this breakthrough. Traditionally, many mineral supplements
have been made from inorganic minerals—those that have been
mined from the earth or developed in a laboratory. Only a
small portion of inorganic minerals is assimilated by the
human body.
Chelated minerals, where the mineral is
bound to an organic substance, increases assimilation, but how
well depends on the chelation process. Most mineral chelates
are compounds not normally found in nature and may even be
viewed as foreign substances by the body.
Plants are
the ideal mineral factory. They take up both inorganic and
chelated minerals and convert them to small, water-soluble
molecules. Plant-bound minerals have been found to be more
soluble in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid and
therefore are potentially more bioavailable than other
supplements.
If this is the case, why not just eat more
plants? We should, of course, eat as many plants as possible.
The problem is that today’s growing conditions are not ideal.
Soil is often depleted of important minerals and contains
contaminants. As well, the stress of living in today’s
polluted environment means that the nutrition we get from
plants may not be enough.
AIM leaf-brand nutrients will
allow us to provide standardized plant-bound nutrition to the
body. We truly believe this is the future of nutrition. You’ll
learn more about this exciting green barley innovation in the
future.
