Chromium and its Effect on Insulin Resitance and Weight Loss:
Chromium Weight Loss Benefit and the Insulin Resistance Connection!
WARP 9's biologically active form of chromium is critical in glucose metabolism by enhancing the effects of insulin. Insulin is secreted by specialized cells in the pancreas in response to increased blood glucose levels, for example, after a meal. Insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of cells, activating those receptors and stimulating glucose uptake by cells. Through its interaction with insulin receptors, insulin provides cells with glucose for energy and prevents blood glucose levels from becoming elevated.
In many cases of overweight individuals, their ability to process glucose in an efficient manner becomes an issue. Following a meal, blood sugar levels rise and the pancreas produces insulin to decrease blood sugar to normal levels. But in overweight individuals, insulin receptors have decreased sensitivity ie. "insulin resistance". As excessive unbound insulin circulates through the bloodstream, blood sugar levels drop and this exorbitant amount of leftover insulin-glycogen winds up being stored as body fat, mostly on your belly, thighs, and buttocks. That is why insulin is called "the fat producing hormone".
Chromium Helps Reduce Insulin Resistance
The dietary supplementation of chromium in WARP 9 formulations can help to increase insulin sensitivity and normalize blood sugar levels. By adding chromium and preventing this insulin-glycogen "spill over", you decrease your chances of gaining weight. In addition to chromium's effects on carbohydrate (glucose) metabolism, insulin also influences the metabolism of fat and protein. This makes the presence of chromium even more important to anyone trying to lose weight, because part of a successful weight loss plan is to prevent overstimulation of insulin production.
Each serving of WARP 9 contains 200mcg of Chromium which is the clinically proven amount that has shown to balance blood sugar by making insulin more effective. This supplementation can help to reduce body fat, control hunger and prevent eating binges because of low blood sugar swings.
