Chromium (III) Picolinate Complex
Chromium Picolinate is a specific form of chromium with bidendate chelate with picolinic acid, the form of chromium naturally used by the body. Chromium is an essential trace mineral needed by the body for several vital biological functions, the most well-known being its role in blood sugar management. This is based on its ability to unlock the “cell door” to the hormone insulin, allowing it to enter the cells.
Multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have been carried out, mainly on type II diabetics, showing marked improvements in blood glucose levels. However even those who do not suffer from diabetes have found that chromium can help with weight loss and reducing food cravings, due to its ability to help keep blood sugar levels stable.

Ingredient Benefits
Helps regulate glucose
Chromium has a beneficial role in regulating the action of insulin and its effect on carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, it can enhance its activity requiring less of this hormone to balance blood sugar properly.
Can help support a weight loss plan and reduce food cravings
By its action on using insulin more effectively, the body requires less of this fat storing hormone to remove glucose from the blood which can result in not storing excess fat. When the blood sugar is in balance the body has fewer food cravings.
Since insulin resistance and high blood sugar appear to be risk factors for heart disease and metabolic syndrome, higher chromium intake can also help reduce the risk of developing these conditions.
