This clinical trial was conducted by Dr. Richard Anderson and his coworkers at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in Beltsville, Md. and by Dr. Nanzheng Cheng and her colleagues from the Beijing Medical University in Beijing, China. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 180 adult patients with the most common form of diabetes (type II or adult-onset) were randomized into one of three equal groups who received either 200 micrograms of chromium as chromium picolinate, 1,000 micrograms (one milligram) of chromium as chromium picolinate or placebo. All supplements were taken daily for four months, during which time the patients were instructed not to change their customary diets, exercise regimens or medications.  | Genesis is loaded with Resveratrol, a chemical compound found in the skin of red grapes. 1 bottle has the same amount of Resveratrol as 32 bottles of red wine without the alcohol Resveratrol is reputed to kill cancer cells and shows great promise for preventing cardiovascular disease |
