Latest On Diabetes Research

Taiwanese company engaged in diabetes research has been working on the theory that most forms of diabetes are due to a deficiency in the body of a natural element called GTF or Glucose Tolerance Factor. GTF’s most important component is trivalent chromium. When these two elements are found low in the body, human cells are unable to absorb glucose and hyperglycemia or high blood sugar occurs, according to endoctrinologist, Dr. Frank Mao Chiu Hung, of Maxluck Biotechnology Corp. and the Taiwan Chung Hsing University.

The study says, trivalent chromium from natural foods is not easily absorbed by the body. Previous studies have shown that the body absorbs only up to three percent of the substance. According to Dr. Mao, by using lactoferrin, a kind of proteinas the carrier of trivalent chromium, the body easily absorbs the chromium and blood glucose levels are lowered. Dr. Mao discovered that lactoferrin is the best carrier for the trivalent chromium.
