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.
Taking supplemental chromium has been shown repeatedly to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, even to the point of reversing type II diabetes in many people (1). Thus, as my old clinical nutrition professor pointed out, apparently a chromium deficiency can actually lead to type II diabetes.
