Chromium Picolinate
Chromium Picolinate is a mineral compound that helps prevent chromium deficiency in the body. Trivalent Chromium is the biologically active form of chromium that helps to improve insulin sensitivity and offers excellent absorption. Chromium is referred to as an "essential trace element" because the human body requires at least a small amount to function properly. Studies have shown that increasing the level of chromium in the body can help support blood sugar levels already within a normal range when used as part of a healthy diet.†
Some studies suggest that older individuals, pregnant women, and those with problematic glucose tolerance or those ingesting a lot of sugar in their diet may require higher intake of chromium than others. Chromium may also be helpful in supporting lean body mass when combined with regular exercise. It has also been found to assist in normal appetite regulation.†

The Science Behind Chromium
A study published in the International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research showed, in a population of healthy, elderly participants, dietary supplementation with chromium is beneficial in supporting healthy glucose levels. Also, chromium supplementation helps to maintain healthy plasma lipid levels already within normal range. [1]
A review of the research published in Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics concludes that supplementation with chromium picolinate is a useful nutritional intervention to achieve optimal insulin function. The review of the data supports the safety and therapeutic value of chromium picolinate for the maintenance of healthy blood glucose and lipid levels already within healthy ranges. [2]
Research published in Nutrition Reviews showed the benefits of chromium supplementation for the maintenance of metabolic health in humans. Chromium is an essential nutrient involved in the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Chromium has been reported to support weight management and muscle mass. [3]
