Vitakruid Glycodin Chromium Biotin Alpha-lipoic acid L-Taurine 90

Vitakruid Glycodin Chromium Biotin Alpha-lipoic acid L-Taurine
Balanced quartet for blood sugar level
Glucose, or blood sugar, is the natural fuel of our body. We obtain the fuel by breaking down carbohydrates from food, after which our body transports the acquired energy to where it is needed. The level of glucose in our blood is called the blood sugar level. Throughout the day, our system continuously tries to maintain a stable blood sugar level. A disrupted glucose balance has numerous negative health effects. The complex formula Glycodin provides a generous amount of 200 mcg of chromium picolinate, 250 mcg of biologically active magnesium taurate, 700 mcg of the energy provider biotin (B8), and 75 mcg of the endogenous fatty acid alpha-lipoic acid per capsule.

Best absorbable form chromium picolinate
Chromium picolinate is the biologically available and organically bound form of chromium. Compared to, for example, chromium chloride, from which our body absorbs at most 0.4 percent, we absorb as much as 5.2 percent of the picolinate molecular compound. For comparison, at a dosage of 200 mcg, our body retains only 0.8 mg of elemental chromium from the chloride compound. With the same dosage of chromium picolinate, our body absorbs as much as 10.4 mg of elemental chromium. This may seem like a small difference, but it means a thirteen times better bioavailability!

Biologically available magnesium taurate
Health multitasker magnesium is involved in more than 600 biochemical reactions in the body. The compound magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid L-taurine and magnesium.

Enhanced effect through biotin
The famous hair vitamin works closely with blood sugar stabilizer chromium picolinate. Various studies support the effect of this specific duo. This makes biotin a great addition to our Glycodin formula!

Body-own alpha-lipoic acid
The sulfur-containing fatty acid alpha-lipoic acid is a substance that our body produces in small amounts. However, alpha-lipoic acid is present in the core of almost all our body cells; it is both water and fat soluble. The water-soluble properties allow alpha-lipoic acid to move effortlessly through the blood and other body fluids, while the fat solubility ensures that the fatty acid also reaches other cells. Fat-soluble vitamins can directly enter the cell membrane. This unique composition makes alpha-lipoic acid available to almost all systems in our body.
