Description:
The Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) molecule includes Niacin (Vitamin B-3) and the three amino acids: Glycine, Glutamic Acid and Cysteine. It is often referred to as a polynicotinate. The discovery of the role of GTF in health is proving to be of major importance. It assists insulin in enabling the cells to take up glucose for energy release, and synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. GTF potentiates insulin activity and takes part in glucose utilisation and the production and storage of glycogen. Many people may have a reduced ability to make GTF in their bodies. Also, many diets can be low in GTF as a result of food processing and modern agricultural methods. GTF can, therefore, be a useful supplement to poor diets.
