Description:

Chromium is a mineral. It is called an "essential trace element" because very small amounts of chromium are necessary for human health. There are two forms of chromium: trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium. The first is found in foods and supplements and is safe for humans. The second is a known toxin that can cause skin problems and lung cancer.

Chromium is a mineral found in certain foods. The body needs only trace amounts of chromium, and deficiency of this mineral in humans is rare.

Chromium picolinate works together with insulin produced by the pancreas to metabolize carbohydrates.

Benefits:

Chromium picolinate is often used to treat chromium deficiency and to accelerate weight loss. It is used not only by those looking to quickly shed pounds but also by people who want to improve their energy efficiency (such as athletes) and by people who suffer from diabetes.

Predominantly, chromium picolinate works by increasing insulin production, which has the ability to improve energy efficiency so that the user can reduce blood sugar levels, improve energy and accelerate fat loss.
