Nutrition 21 News
Nutrition 21, Purchase, NY, has identified an isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that resulted in a significant increase in glucose metabolism in muscle cells without the addition of insulin. The research further demonstrated that a combination of chromium picolinate and the newly identified isomer of CLA resulted in an enhanced effect on glucose metabolism in muscle cells. Nutrition 21 has filed a patent application based on these research results, with plans to file additional patent applications in the future.
In other developments, the company’s Diachrome™ is now featured in a new line of supplements introduced by a leading manufacturer. The Diachrome-branded supplements are available through Bohemia, NY-based NBTY’s Vitamin World retail stores, its website, wwww.vitaminworld.com and its Puritan’s Pride catalogue and website, www.puritan.com.
