A New Type Of Chromium Supplement

^AIMGlucoChrom™ is the first AIM product to use a unique and revolutionary method for delivering chromium to the body. This product uses barley grass as a natural delivery system that integrates chromium into the matrix of the plant through a proprietary process. This plant-bound chromium is recognized by the body and is extremely well-absorbed. In essence, the logic of nature and our bodies is used to achieve this.

In the case of ^AIMGlucoChrom™ barley grass is grown hydroponically (where nutrition is supplied through liquid rather than soil). At the right time in the growth phase, a special process is used to alter the growing environment and increase the level of chromium. Thus, barley leaves are able to be grown that contain specific amounts of chromium. There is no hybridization or genetic alteration. The chromium supplied from this process is called LeafBrand™ chromium.

The importance of this type of delivery system cannot be overestimated. Traditionally, many mineral supplements have been made from inorganic minerals – those that have been mined from the earth or developed in a laboratory. Only a small portion of inorganic minerals is assimilated by the human body.

In chelated minerals, the mineral is bound to an organic substance, which adds to assimilation, but how well the substance will be assimilated depends on the chelation process. Most mineral chelates are compounds not normally found in nature and may even be viewed as foreign substances by the body.

In creating LeafBrand™ chromium, a plant is used – the ideal mineral factory. Plants take up both inorganic and chelated minerals and convert them to small, water-soluble molecules. Plant-bound minerals have been found to be more soluble in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid and therefore are potentially more bioavailable than other supplements.

^AIMGlucoChrom™ is a unique combination of leaf-brand chromium, vanadium, bitter melon, and gymnema sylvestre. These substances have been used both traditionally, and by health practitioners, for years to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Working together, they provide the body with a natural way to balance blood sugar levels.
