Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg is a natural, stimulant-free blood sugar balancing supplement designed to help you efficiently digest carbohydrates, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy serotonin production.
Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg contains the most bioactive form of chromium, with research and clinical evidence suggesting it may support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce LDL cholesterol, help regulate appetite, and more.
How does Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg work?
Chromium is an essential trace element that has been shown to improve carbohydrate metabolism, maintain healthy serotonin levels, and even modulate cortisol levels. Thus, chromium can help boost energy production, mood, and also regulate appetite.
Chromium appears to enhance carbohydrate metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity. When insulin sensitivity is impaired, your body cannot properly transport glucose from the blood into cells; the result is high blood sugar, which can lead to things like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart complications.
Many dietary supplements rely on lower forms of chromium, such as chromium chloride, which have low bioavailability. Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg contains chromium polynicotinate, as this form is highly bioavailable and has been shown to be effective.
Picolinate is one of many different types of mineral “carriers” that essentially “carry” substances like chromium, zinc, iron, copper, and other trace minerals so that they can be effectively absorbed by your tissues.
These mineral carriers are known as chelators. According to research, the absorption of a mineral by tissues is dramatically greater when the mineral is chelated to picolinic acid (picolinate).
Picolinic acid is synthesized in the kidneys and liver from the amino acid L-tryptophan and is the body's primary organic chelator. It is also commonly used in zinc and copper supplement products.
Benefits of Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg include:
→ Improved carbohydrate absorption.
→ Maintaining a healthy blood sugar balance.
→ Preventing fat accumulation. Since excessive blood sugar and impaired insulin function can lead to fat accumulation, supplementing with Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg can help prevent fat accumulation associated with carbohydrate consumption.
→ Reduces stress. Chromium is known to modulate serotonin and cortisol levels, both of which play a key role in regulating mood and stress.
Directions: Take 1 to 3 capsules daily before meals.
