Chromium Picolinate

Chromium Picolinate

Chromium is a mineral that occurs naturally in the organism. Normally, the required amounts of this element are well supplied by the intake of food. But several situations can occur that can lead to Chromium deficiency, for instance, women under contraceptive pills can have chromium levels below normal.

Chromium Picolinate takes part in the regulation of insulin and glucose in the organism. Having well regulated levels of glucose in blood means there will be less cravings for carbohydrates and sugary foods, which in turn can mean less intake of calories. Chromium Picolinate also participates on metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The good regulation of insulin and metabolism means the body can use fat reserves in a more efficient way, which promotes the burn of fat.
