Best-Selling Wellness Author Recommends Chromium Supplementation for Diabetics

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, known as a leading expert on wellness and anti-aging, has just published his sixth book, “7 Secrets to Beauty, Health and Longevity: The Miracle of Cellular Rejuvenation.” In his latest, best-selling offering, Dr. Perricone addresses diabetes and shares with readers his discovery of an over-the-counter supplement that helps to promote better health for diabetics.

“There are several key nutrients that help control blood sugar”, Perricone says, “including chromium “polynicotinate,” also known as NCB (niacin-bound chromium).

Chromium is a very important trace mineral that promotes normal insulin function and is essential for proper protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. As any anti-aging scientist well knows, elevated levels of insulin and blood sugar significantly accelerate cellular aging. Research now shows that the type of chromium known as NBC has a superior anti-aging profile.”

Perricone discusses studies that have been conducted at Georgetown University Medical Center, by Dr. Harry Preuss, which reveal that Chromium polynicotinate (a generic term for ChromeMate):

• Promotes proper insulin function and normal blood sugar levels
• Promotes healthy blood cholesterol levels, normal blood pressure and cardiovascular health
• Promotes healthy body weight and lean body mass.

“Nutrition experts report that generally Americans have a chromium deficiency – low levels of chromium are associated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Perricone notes that based on studies conducted at Georgetown University, the special niacin-bound chromium was found to be the “most efficacious”. For best results, Dr. Perricone recommends taking a niacin-bound chromium supplement daily, with a recommended dosage of 200 micrograms.
