Cancer research, in particular, may benefit from DNA methylation analysis, because changes in the methylation status of nucleosomal DNA promise to be a powerful marker in the early detection of neoplastic events (9-11).
Chromium MAX assists in the uptake of glucose into cells. Chromium is a component of Glucose Tolerance Factor, the biologically active form of chromium, involved in glucose metabolism. A diet high in simple sugars or refined carbohydrates increases chromium requirements.
Chromium is a mineral. It is called an essential trace element because very small amounts of chromium are necessary for human health. There are two forms of chromium: trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium. The first is found in foods and supplements and is safe for humans. The second is a known toxin that can cause skin problems and lung cancer. Chromium is used for improving blood sugar control in people with prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and high blood sugar due to taking steroids and HIV treatments.
