Understand GTF & Diabetes Facts
GTF is a compound consist of trivalent chromium plus minerals,
vitamin, and amino acids. Healthy people obtain trivalent chromium
through diet, and chromium is then being converted to GTF to assist in
glucose metabolism. However, overwork, pregnancy, obesity, old age,
alcoholism, surgery, and disease can cause excessive loss of GTF in
the body through secretion of urine and hence causing GTF deficiency.
Research in recent years found that the main cause of Type 2 diabetes
is the reduction of insulin sensitivity. When our cells cannot utilize
blood glucose efficiently, blood glucose stays higher and this
stimulates increased secretion of insulin, causing high blood insulin
symptoms.

Oh, ye ghods, another chromium ad campaign. For anyone new to diabetes, these
idiots pop up every now and then to sell various chromium supplements in
pyramid schemes. A vaguely normal human diet has more than enough chromium in it!
It's basically fraudulent: the claims of benefit simply aren't substantiated
by reliable, measurable claims, and seem to be be best supported by
questionable studies and anecdotal evidence.
This lawsuit by the FTC is typical of the legal efforts against fraudulent
snake oil.
