Chromium is an essential mineral. While it may be found in a variety of foods, as many as 90 percent of American diets are low in it. Low chromium levels may result in an increase in blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
Chromium supports effective functioning of insulin, which is needed to transport glucose to cells for energy production. Diabetes results when the body cannot create enough insulin or has trouble using it effectively. Numerous studies have shown chromium to be beneficial in supporting healthy blood sugar levels already in a healthy range.
Chromium picolinate, one of the most popular forms of chromium available, 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 absorption of chromium.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) capsule daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.
