Do you have high blood sugar? Diabetes? Do you find yourself needing a nap in the afternoon? A few drops of MiraChrome works like a miracle.
Is your horse considered insulin resistant? Do you worry about laminitis every Spring and Fall season? Or is your horse simply an easy-keeper who stores fat in undesired places?
Has your dog or cat been diagnosed with insulin resistance or diabetes?
My name is Andrea Donaghy and, together with my husband Karl, we own a small animal nutrition company, Virginia Equine Research. We are sure that our chromium supplement MiraChrome is one major step in the process to better nutrition.
A high percentage of Americans–whether humans, dogs, cats, ponies, horses…or mice…are afflicted with disorders triggered by their diet. By far, the most common problems we face every day are obesity and obesity-related health issues. With 68.9% of the American population overweight or obese, it is almost inevitable that our pets will be too. And the damaging effects are the same: an increase in insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and shortened life span.
For the past twelve years we have manufactured a product we call MiraChrome for horses and ponies. The extraordinary results caused us to branch out to provide our customers with a product appropriate for dogs and cats. Although we were not manufacturing MiraChrome for humans, some of our customers were sharing with their pets and getting documented improvement of their blood sugar levels. So now we are bringing MiraChrome to the dietary supplement market for humans. While MiraChrome can help, it is not a total solution; no single nutrient can work in a vacuum. Proper nutrition is key to the potential therapeutic action of MiraChrome.
Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, thereby reducing the amount of insulin released, and has been recognized as such by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Cambridge Journals, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The Linus Pauling Institute states, “A biologically active form of chromium participates in glucose metabolism by enhancing the effects of insulin.”
However, not all chromium supplements are created equal; some forms are poorly absorbed (chromium chloride, chromium yeast, and chromium niacin — niacin is known to cause insulin resistance). Our MiraChrome is highly bio-available, safe and best of all affordable!
What are you waiting for?
MiraChrome is a very safe and very effective trivalent chromium supplement. Chromium is, what-is-called in science, a “co-factor” for insulin. In the body, chromium regulates blood sugar. It prevents blood sugar spikes and troughs.
–Laminitis is the horse’s diabetic-type response to high blood sugars, which come from the high sugars in grass, hay or grain.
-IR: Horses with insulin resistance, metabolic disease, or obesity, are more prone to laminitis, just as many overweight people are prone to diabetic problems in their feet and toes.
–Obesity: Chromium aids in melting excess fat off the body. Fat pads and fatty neck crests mel away with adequate chromium levels in the body. Muscles improve in tone and size as converted fat becomes energy for muscle development.
–Disposition: Chromium helps prevent the sugar highs which cause horses to be silly and inattentive.
-Stamina: Chromium improves stamina by extending the release of fuel to a horse’s muscles.
“I am astonished at the good results I am having with the MiraChrome supplement. I just had his regular trimming and his feet are improving. He has never grown good frogs, but they are looking better. His attitude is so much better…a good sign that he feels better. His cresty neck has gone down an inch. I can’t believe this much of a change is possible in just a few weeks! As soon as my supply of commercial feed is used up, I will be ordering your Equine Excel supplement.”

Through extensive research in humans and animals trivalent chromium has been found to be an essential nutrient for optimal body functions. Chromium enhances the action of insulin and therefore aids in the regulation of blood sugars in the body. This allows for sustained energy, increased lean muscle mass, and a possible reduction of insulin shots in diabetic patients. “The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that many middle-age diabetics can overcome their symptoms by taking a chromium supplement. The USDA’s findings suggest that very low chromium intakes may be putting millions of Americans on the road to diabetes (and high blood cholesterol) and that the process could be reversed simply by supplementing with chromium.” (Robert M. Hackman, 1991).
Cardiovascular health is another documented benefit of chromium supplementation. There is a significant amount of research showing that low levels of chromium in the body may be one of the primary risk factors for cardiovascular disease. “The data, reported in numerous studies over the past 30 years, suggest that chromium may help reduce the risk of heart disease and help prevent the buildup of plaque in arteries by lowering harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and increasing beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.” (Robert M. Hackman, 1991).
While many nutritional supplements may contain trace amounts of chromium it is generally not enough for the body to use, furthermore, some forms of chromium are more effective and safe than others. Our MiraChrome, chromium supplement, delivers all the benefits without any negative side-effects. It’s completely natural and safe. For the past twelve years we have manufactured MiraChrome for horses and ponies. The extraordinary results caused us to branch out to provide our customers with a product appropriate for dogs and cats. Although we were previously not manufacturing MiraChrome for humans, some of our customers were sharing with their pets and getting documented improvement of their blood sugar levels. So now we are bringing MiraChrome to the dietary supplement market for humans. While MiraChrome can help, it is not a total solution; no single nutrient can work in a vacuum. Proper nutrition is key to the potential therapeutic action of MiraChrome.

By far, the most common problems we face every day are obesity and obesity-related issues–not only for ourselves, but also for our pets. With 68.9% of the American population overweight or obese, it is almost inevitable that our pets will be too. A lot of the problems stem from the ingredients in commercialized food along with the lack of proper nutrition. The damaging effects are the same: an increase in insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and shortened life span. MiraChrome can help!
