Abstract
Abstract The present invention is an ergogenic, anabolic mineral formula for use as a nutritional supplement, weight loss formula and cholesterol lowering agent. The formula comprises 500 mcg. of vanadyl sulfate, 100 mcg. of chromium picolinate, 100 mcg. of chromium nicotinate glycinate, and 25 mg. of niacin. The vanadyl sulfate and chromium components are used primarily to mimic and enhance the effects of insulin. The niacin component is included to cause blood vessels to dilate and to reduce cholesterol levels and thus improve the efficiency of chromium and carbohydrate utilization.
