Formerly known as Phytofood Chromium, our Wholefood Chromium is made from a species of broccoli that has been hydroponically grown in a chromium-rich environment. As such, it is a wholefood form of the mineral, with high bioavailability. What is Chromium & what does it do? Organic chromium is an active ingredient of a substance called GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor); niacin & the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid & glycine complete the complex. The body contains about 6mg of chromium in total. GTF chromium is now being recognised as important in carbohydrate metabolism. It stimulates the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of glucose for energy & the synthesis of fatty acids & cholesterol. It appears to increase the effectiveness of insulin & its ability to handle glucose. When chromium levels are low, GTF levels are low too & the activity of insulin is blocked; blood glucose levels therefore remain elevated. Also, diets high in carbohydrates soon begin to exhaust the normal control mechanisms. The end result is hypoglycaemia, insulin resistance, obesity & diabetes. Obesity is strongly linked to blood sugar disturbances because of the increasing sensitivity to insulin. Best Natural Sources Whole grains, eggs & meat are the best sources of chromium. Most fruit & vegetables are low in chromium, except for broccoli, which has a naturally high level. Absorption & Storage Chromium is difficult to absorb. Only about 3% of chromium from food is retained in the body. The mineral is stored primarily in the spleen, kidneys & testes, & small amounts are also stored in the heart, pancreas, lungs & brain. It has been found in some enzymes & in RNA. Excretion occurs mainly through urination. The amount stored in the body decreases with age. Research & Studies Wholefood GTF chromium is better absorbed & longer retained than isolated chromium, & is also significantly less toxic (see references on page 232
- Chromium). RDAThere is now an RDA for chromium, set at 40µg. The Council for Responsible Nutrition tells us that the average daily intake in the Western world is 30µg, & the upper safe limit for supplementation is 200µg. The dietary (natural) form of chromium is trivalent chromium. This has very low toxicity. Wholefood Chromium is trivalent. Ingredients Nutrient Per Capsule %RDA Chromium 100g 250 RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance Suggested Intake: 1-2 capsules daily, or take as directed by a practitioner. Suitable for: Vegetarians, vegans & for people with Candida & yeast sensitivities. Contraindications: None, although insulin-dependant diabetics are advised to seek medical advice before supplementing with GTF chromium, as the supplement might alter their insulin requirements. Non-Active Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (capsule shell).

Where like cures like Weleda also manufactures Homeopathic remedies. Developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century, homeopathy also follows a holistic approach to good health stimulating the bodys natural ability to cure itself. Its guiding principle is to choose a remedy that would produce similar symptoms to those you wish to treat, i.e. like cures like. Each remedy is created by a series of dilution & shaking processes to produce a minimum potentised dose. Which strength? Over the counter homeopathic preparations are generally available in two strengths: 6c & 30c.6c Potencies In most self-help cases 6c should be selected. 6c is useful when conditions are mainly physical, such as coughs & colds, or when the condition progresses at a slow pace.30c Potencies 30c is selected when the condition is very active (acute) and/or when there is an emotional element to the condition, such as occasional sleeplessness. 30c remedies should be taken as a short course only, unless prescribed by a practitioner. Tablets shouldnt be touched & should be taken in a clean mouth. The remedies are intended for self-limiting, minor conditions. If they are required for long periods of time or for chronic conditions, professional advice should always be sought. When the condition improves there is no need to continue taking the homeopathic remedy. If a condition is persistent or potentially serious, please consult your doctor or a qualified homeopath. ...
