Chromium

plays a role in maintaining cardiovascular health. It helps to carry proteins to where they are needed in the body. Metabolism of amino acids that are critical to growth and life are also influenced by it. The liver requires Chromium to be present as it combines other nutrients to create fatty acids. It can affect body weight because it stimulates the enzymes that metabolize glucose for energy. It helps the body to regulate energy production, as well as growth and repair in the body–i.e. metabolism regulation! Chromium supports insulin function and glucose utilization. It, along with Zinc, Vanadium and Magnesium, work to maintain insulin and blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range. It may help with daily anxiety and occasional fatigue.

The refining of starches and carbohydrates robs those food of chromium. The body then has to use its own storehouses to process the starches and carbohydrates, rather than the chromium which is refined out of the starch or carbohydrate. Therefore, refined sugars and refined starches cause the body to use chromium stores more rapidly. Strenuous exercise can also affect chromium levels. The body does not easily absorb chromium. Also, more mature bodies are unable to store as much of it as can younger individuals. Therefore, a continuing supply of it becomes a greater focus.

The kidneys, spleen and testes are the major storage areas for chromium in the body. In addition to these storage areas, the heart, lungs, pancreas and brain contain trace amounts.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a naturally calming mineral.  Called the “anti-stress mineral”, it aids in relaxing nerves and soothing daily tensions. Food digestion, and especially activating enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, is a part of it’s duties. Exercise increases the amount of it that is stored in the bone, in addition to increasing its loss in the sweat from that exercise. Magnesium is an important mineral for muscle contraction and relaxation. Nerve communication depends on it. Blood pressure regulation involves it. Body tissue purification and impurity purging is another one of its activities. It is a door-man for each cell in your body, allowing nutrients into each cell and also sending out waste materials. Furthermore, Magnesium activates over 300 enzyme reactions in the body! Consequently, it is easily depleted and as a result it must be replaced and maintained consistently.

Nerves, the bowels, bones, ligaments and cells store it. Absorption rates for it may decline as the body ages. Selenium is necessary for its absorption in the intestines while Boron may reduce the rate of its excretion from the body.

Do you want to improve your strength? Do you want to have a more positive outlook on life? Are you struggling to maintain normal muscle contraction? More Magnesium may be just what you are looking for!

Zinc

Zinc is a daily must-have! And especially in sports recovery.

Zinc is involved in over 300 enzyme processes in a body, either directly or indirectly. Proper assimilation of vitamins and other nutrients, normal growth and development, and maintenance of body tissues are just a sampling of its possible activities. Other areas of activity include natural detoxification and synthesis of DNA.  It is an anti-oxidant, and it is a key part of 25 or more enzymes in activities that involve digestion, metabolism, and reproduction.

Moisture in the eyes, lungs, nose, urine, and saliva and all other body fluids contain Zinc. Therefore it is in all the fluids as they move through the body. Since it moves through all the fluids in the body, it is available for any of the many things that it does.  Our natural defenses use Zinc, and it is an important part of that system.  The thyroid, pancreas, liver, kidneys, bones, voluntary muscles, prostate, sperm, skin, hair, nails, white blood corpuscles and several parts of the eyes all store Zinc.
