Chromium Picolinate Weight Loss Supplement

Chromium Picolinate, one of the most important nutritional ingredients for effective weight management. . .

Chromium Picolinate Is The Most Readily Absorbed Chromium Source, Recognized For Maintaining Optimal Metabolic Functioning:

Chromium Picolinate is a natural, bio-active source of the essential trace mineral Chromium. It plays a vital role in "sensitizing" the body's tissues to the hormone insulin, readily needed for the efficient metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein. It also enhances glucose metabolism and in doing so, helps suppress cravings for sweet foods such as candy, cake, cookies, ice cream and sugar.

Chromium Picolinate is the best absorbed form of Chromium, according to new research presented at the annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) in San Diego.

In a study conducted at Ohio State University, 12 young adult women were administered a single dose of 200 mcg. of Chromium Picolinate, and different forms, including: Chromium Chloride, Chromium Niacin Amino Acid Chelate and Chromium Nicotinate. The subjects' urine was collected over 24 hours following Chromium supplementation and assayed to determine how much Chromium had been absorbed. After a washout period of up to two weeks, subjects repeated the sequence three more times with the other Chromium sources. Chromium Picolinate yielded higher urinary levels of Chromium than the two nicotinate-based preparations or Chromium Chloride. Chromium Chloride produced the lowest mean urinary value of the preparations.

These new findings further support Chromium Picolinate's position as the optimal delivery form for improved Chromium nutrition, a category that is increasingly being recognized as important for maintaining metabolic health.

"The results indicate that not all forms of Chromium are the same," said lead researcher Robert DiSilvestro, Ph.D. "Knowing which form of Chromium is best absorbed by the body is important information for consumers who hope to achieve the optimal health benefits associated with Chromium supplementation. The data is also significant for health care providers in determining which type of Chromium supplement to recommend to patients. In addition, understanding which form and what dose of Chromium to use in clinical studies is important to the advancement of Chromium research."

Chromium Picolinate is clinically substantiated to help support these important health concerns:

    ~ Weight management. Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Carbohydrate and sugar metabolism Cardiovascular health.
