Chromium Picolinate Datasheet
Because it is involved in the metabolism of glucose, chromium is essential for energy. It is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and
protein. This essential mineral maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization, and can be helpful both for people with diabetes and those with hypoglycemia. Studies have shown that low plasma chromium levels can be an indication of coronary heart disease.
The average American diet is chromium deficient. Researchers estimate that two out of every three Americans are hypoglycemic or diabetic. The ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels is jeopardized by the lack of chromium in our soil and water supply and by a diet high in refined white sugar, flour and junk foods. A deficiency of chromium can lead to anxiety, fatigue, glucose intolerance, inadequate metabolism of amino acids, and an increased risk of arteriosclerosis. Chromium is best absorbed by the body when take in Picolinate form.
