GLANDULAR SYSTEM

The human body has two types of glands---exocrine glands that secrete fluids into a duct or a tube, and endocrine glands that release chemicals known as hormones into general circulation. Endocrine glands include the pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenals and sex glands (ovaries and testes). The hormones they release regulate basic drives and motions while promoting growth and sexual identity and controlling body temperature. They also help to repair broken tissue and generate energy.

CHROMIUM, GTF - Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels. Each "glucose tolerance factor (GTF)" molecule, a hormone-like compound, requires chromium as its central atom. GTF works with insulin to transport glucose from the blood into the cells. When this function is not working properly, the cells resist insulin and do not properly absorb the glucose needed for energy. The liver also needs chromium to manufacture fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. Without chromium, blood fats tend to rise because the liver cannot filter them out. Processing destroys much of the chromium content in foods. Each tablet of GTF chromium contains 500 mcg of chromium amino acid chelate and chromium nicotinate in a base of red clover tops, yarrow flower, and horsetail herb.
