Chromium Picolinate 200mcg

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that potentiates insulin action by facilitating insulin receptor binding and increasing insulin receptor number. Chromium picolinate, a complex with picolinic acid, is the most bioavailable form. Each capsule provides 200mcg of elemental chromium – a therapeutic dose for improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Clinical studies show modest reductions in fasting glucose (5-10%) and HbA1c (0.5%) after 3-6 months. It also reduces cravings for carbohydrates and fats in some individuals, potentially aiding weight management. 180 capsules – six-month supply. Take one capsule daily with a meal. Side effects are rare but may include headache or mild nausea. Contraindications: Individuals on insulin or sulfonylureas should monitor blood glucose closely as chromium may increase risk of hypoglycemia. This product is non-GMO and gluten-free.
