Chromium Picolinate (200 mcg)

Why You Should Supplement Chromium PicolinateChromium is an essential mineral. While it may be found in a variety of foods, as many as 90% of American diets are low in chromium. Low chromium levels may result in an increase in blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol.

Chromium supports effective functioning of insulin. Insulin is needed for transporting glucose to cells for energy production. Diabetes results when the body cannot create enough insulin or has trouble using it effectively. Chromium has been shown in numerous studies to be beneficial in supporting healthy blood sugar levels.

Other studies show chromium to be effective in improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood glucose levels. Up to 80 million Americans may suffer from insulin resistance where the body fails to respond properly to the insulin it produces.

Chromium picolinate is one of the most popular forms of chromium available and is used in hundreds of different supplements. It is a combination of the element chromium and picolinic acid. The addition of picolinic acid aids in the ability of chromium to be absorbed.
