Chromium Picolinate is a trace mineral that shows promise for help in controlling Type 2 diabetes, lowering blood sugar, triglyceride levels, and some types of high cholesterol. Studies are being conducted on the ability of Chromium Picolinate to help reduce body fat and build lean muscle mass.
Main Functions
Chromium Picolinate promotes sugar and carbohydrate metabolism.
Chromium Picolinate is a necessary factor in carbohydrate and sugar metabolism.
The trace mineral chromium plays a major role in the sensitivity of cells to insulin. Insulin helps cells absorb and use glucose effectively.
Considerable evidence indicates that chromium functions as a co-factor in all insulin-regulating activities. Supplementing the diet with chromium has been shown to significantly improve insulin action; decrease fasting glucose and triglyceride levels; and increase the HDL-cholesterol level by enhancing insulin sensitivity.
It should be noted that exceeding the recommended dosage will not enhance beneficial effects and could lead to undesired results, including weight gain, rather than weight loss.
