Increased Chromium Absorption Linked with Reduction in Cardiovascular Risk
Factors in People with Type 2 Diabetes
Study finds reduced risk factors as total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL
cholesterol and lipid ratios.
A new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found a significant
correlation between increased urinary chromium levels -- a measure of
chromium absorption -- and reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk
factors, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and
lipid ratios in people with type 2 diabetes.
The study evaluated 36 people with type 2 diabetes over 30 days. The
significant reduction in CVD risk factors was seen in study participants who
added Diachrome(R) (a combination of 600 mcg of chromium as chromium
picolinate and 2 mg of biotin) to their daily treatment regimen. The group
taking Diachrome also had significantly improved glycemic control, as
measured by a reduction in blood glucose levels after consuming a beverage
that contained 75 grams of carbohydrates.
Blood glucose levels were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes
following consumption of 75 grams of an oral carbohydrate solution. In the
Diachrome group, a significant decrease (p<0.03) was seen in the total
increase of blood glucose levels over 2 hours (area under the curve - AUC)
after consumption.
"The results of this study suggest improved carbohydrate metabolism and
better glucose control for people who are obese with type 2 diabetes and are
concerned about managing post prandial glucose levels after a high
carbohydrate meal," according to James Komorowski, MS, Vice President,
technical services and scientific affairs for Nutrition 21, which
commissioned the study. "It was very encouraging to see these positive
benefits in only 30 days after taking Diachrome," added Mr. Komorowski.
"The data build on earlier clinical studies suggesting that chromium
picolinate supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce
cardiovascular risk factors in people with, and at risk for, diabetes," said
James Komorowski, MS, vice president of technical services and scientific
affairs, Nutrition 21, who commissioned the study.

Nutrition 21 is in the business of selling suppliment scams.
