Chromium is an essential mineral that, along with insulin, helps metabolize glucose (sugar) for use by cells as energy.
Chromium is the central atom in what is known as the “glucose tolerance factor” (GTF), a hormone-like compound that works with insulin to transport glucose (sugar) from dietary carbohydrates out of the blood stream and into the cells to be used as energy. Chronically high levels of glucose (sugar) and insulin in the blood can lead to insulin resistance and hypoglycemia.
Discovered by Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin in the late 1700s, chromium is prominent in the body. As a trace mineral, it’s found naturally in many foods, including meats, grains, fruits, vegetables and spices. But the amount of chromium in these foods varies dramatically.
Use of horsetail dates back to ancient Rome and Greece. Traditionally it was used for wounds and kidney problems. Due to its silicon content, horsetail has been recommended for bone health as well. And it has been researched for its diuretic and antioxidant properties.
Wild red clover commonly grows in meadows throughout Europe and Asia, and it’s now cultivated in North America, too. It has been used traditionally for respiratory problems, and skin concerns. Health care practitioners believe that red clover’s diuretic activity “purifies” the blood, improving circulation and helping cleanse the liver.
Yarrow, or Achillea millefolium, is named after the mythical Greek hero Achilles, who used it on the wounds of his solders. In ancient times it was referred to as Herba Militaris. Native Americans embraced yarrow for a variety of applications, including minor discomfort and digestive support.
