Trace Elements GT-Formula II 180 Tablets – Chromium and Metabolic Support
Trace Elements GT-Formula II (180 Tablets) is designed to support glucose metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity by providing a potent dose of chromium picolinate, an essential trace mineral known for its role in blood sugar regulation. This formula also includes metabolic synergists like L-Glycine, L-Glutamic Acid, and L-Cysteine, which help enhance nutrient absorption and optimize metabolic function. GT-Formula II is an ideal supplement for individuals seeking to maintain healthy glucose levels, particularly those concerned with metabolic health and insulin function.
Chromium plays a critical role in maintaining normal glucose metabolism and enhancing insulin action. GT-Formula II provides chromium in its highly bioavailable form, chromium picolinate, paired with amino acids like L-Glycine, L-Glutamic Acid, and L-Cysteine to support metabolism and overall wellness. This formula is ideal for individuals seeking to optimize their blood sugar levels and improve metabolic function. Free from common allergens and artificial additives, GT-Formula II offers a hypoallergenic solution for those with dietary sensitivities.

The bottle says take one tablet a day with a meal. That is the generic label default, and it is almost never what a hair tissue mineral analysis actually calls for.
A lab report prescribes a schedule written as three numbers — morning, noon and evening:
| On your report | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | One tablet, once a day |
| 1-1-0 | One in the morning, one at noon, none in the evening |
| 1-1-1 | One with each of the three meals |
| 2-1-1 | Two in the morning, one at noon, one in the evening |
| 2-2-1 | Two, two, then one |
| 1-1-2 | One, one, then two — weighted to the evening |
| 3-3-3 | Three with each meal, nine a day in total |
Those are examples rather than a complete list. The amounts come from your own oxidation rate and mineral ratios, so a formula the label treats as a once-a-day supplement may be prescribed several times a day on a chart — or only in the morning, or not at all.
So do not work out how long a bottle will last from the label. Work it out from your schedule. On 3-3-3, a 180-count bottle is twenty days, not six months.
If you have a report and are not sure how to read it, send it over — walking people through their own numbers is exactly what the text support is for.
Trace Elements builds most of its mineral formulas on Albion® TRAACS® amino acid chelates rather than the cheaper inorganic salts (oxides, carbonates, sulphates) that dominate the shelf.
The distinction is practical rather than marketing. A chelated mineral is bound to amino acids, so it is absorbed along an amino acid pathway rather than having to compete for the narrower mineral pathways. That generally means better uptake at a lower dose, and markedly less of the digestive upset people associate with minerals — magnesium oxide and ferrous sulphate being the two most notorious.
It also matters for a nutritional balancing program specifically. When a chart calls for a mineral, what is wanted is for the level to move. A form that largely passes through does not move it, and the retest simply shows the same pattern again three months later.
Chromium works alongside zinc in carbohydrate metabolism, and both tend to run lower on diets high in refined carbohydrates — the foods that raise the demand are the same ones that supply the least. It is a quietly self-reinforcing pattern that turns up regularly on charts.

This one comes up most with people working on energy and carbohydrate handling. It is also a good illustration of why I ask what someone is eating before adjusting supplements — the diet and the chart usually tell the same story.
I came to hair analysis in 2010, under ARNP Julie Walker in Kennewick, Washington, and worked directly with Analytical Research Labs — testing family and friends until I could read a chart properly. I listened to every cassette tape Dr. Paul Eck recorded and read every newsletter that laboratory published. When I found out a degree in Nutritional Balancing existed, I signed up with Dr. Larry Wilson in August 2011, and I have practised independently since the autumn of 2017. The most useful thing I can offer is not a longer product list — it is help reading your own chart and adjusting between tests. Mineral patterns almost always shift on a retest, and watching that happen chart to chart is where the real learning is. I hand-select the formulas and the absorbable forms that consistently help people feel and function better.
How I am available to you. If you order a hair analysis, you get text support from me while you are on the program — retracing and detox questions are best answered as they happen, not weeks later. It takes about three months to train someone to understand what is going on and adjust their own program between tests, and that is the goal. Our Facebook group is free to join whether or not you have bought anything: ask questions there and read through the tips already shared.
I also work in order of priorities, to fit your budget. Some people go all out for longevity; others take only what their hair analysis calls for, once a day. Both are worth doing. Tell me where you are and we will start there.
Matched to your chart. Trace Elements formulas are designed to be selected from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis results rather than chosen from symptoms, because the same product can suit one oxidation pattern well and another poorly. If you are unsure whether this one fits you, a hair analysis answers that from your own numbers.
To ensure that GT-Formula retains its potency and quality, it is important to adhere to the following storage guidelines:

Expert Guidance for GT-Formula II – Trace Nutrients™ – #347-B (180 tabs) Supplementation
For optimal effectiveness, GT-Formula II supplements should be utilized in conjunction with personalized recommendations from a qualified health practitioner trained in Hair Analysis. According to standard guidelines, these supplements are considered safe for use during pregnancy. However, for individuals who are breastfeeding, it is crucial to conduct a re-evaluation through an HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test to obtain customized advice from a qualified professional.
The recommended dosage for GT-Formula II by Trace Elements is generally tailored to meet individual needs, as determined by the results of an HTMA test. Typically, the advised dosage ranges from one (1) to three (3) tablets, taken two to three times daily with meals. To ensure the most effective and safe use of this product, consulting a qualified health practitioner with expertise in Hair Analysis is imperative. If an HTMA test is unavailable, please adhere to the dosing instructions on the supplement packaging and consult a healthcare professional for any questions or concerns.
Each bottle of GT-Formula II from Trace Nutrients™ contains 180 tablets and can last anywhere from 30 to 180 days, depending on individual consumption rates and dosage adjustments.
