L-ARABINOSE PLUS CHROMIUM FOR CONTROLLING THE METABOLIZATION OF SUCROSE
The invention is directed to a composition comprising chromium and L-Arabinose. The invention is also directed to a method for decreasing the metabolization of sucrose in a host in need thereof by administering a composition comprising chromium and L-Arabinose to a host and a method for inhibiting the glycemic response to a meal containing sucrose in a host in need thereof by administering a composition comprising chromium and L-Arabinose to a host.
1 . A composition comprising L-Arabinose and chromium.
2 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the L-Arabinose is in an amount of about 1000 mg.
3 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chromium is in an amount of about 100 mg.
4 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chromium is selection from the group consisting of chromium picolinate, chromium chloride, chromium niacin amino acid chelate and chromium nicotinate.
5 . A method for decreasing metabolization of sucrose in a host in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising L-Arabinose and chromium to said host.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the L-Arabinose is in an amount of about 1000 mg.
7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the chromium is in an amount of about 100 mg.
8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the administration occurs before a meal.
9 . A method for inhibiting glycemic response to a meal containing sucrose in a host in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising L-Arabinose and chromium to said host.
10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the L-Arabinose is in an amount of about 1000 mg.
11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the chromium is in an amount of about 100 mg.
12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the administration occurs before a meal.
