Description
BioActive Nutrients Chromium Picolinate
- Chromium is an absolutely essential mineral that you can't get from the daily diet in adequate quantities or in a useful form.
- A study done by the USDA shows that 90% of the population is deficient in chromium.
- Chromium is needed in the body to make insulin work efficiently.
- People and animals given chromium as picolinate have lower blood sugar, lower blood fat and less body fat.
- It is also important for pregnant women because studies have shown that it can help prevent gestational diabetes.
- Most vitamin / mineral supplements don't contain chromium and those that do have too little or use a form of chromium the body can't easily use. Chromium picolinate is available in BioPlus multi vitamin and multi mineral.
- Years of experiments show chromium picolinate is the form of chromium best used by the body and humans need at least 400 micrograms (mcg) of chromium per day.
There have been numerous studies done showing that chromium picolinate makes insulin more effective, thereby lowering cholesterol, improving blood sugar levels, and improving overall body composition. At the right is a summary of a landmark study. In a prior study by the same investigators, 180 individuals with Type 2 diabetes demonstrated significant improvements in glucose, insulin and cholesterol after taking chromium picolinate supplementation.
Long Term Benefits
These beneficial effects were greater after four months than after two months. And individuals receiving 1000 mcg/day of chromium had better results than those receiving 200 mcg/day. As a follow-up, the long-term study was conducted with individuals taking 500 mcg/day.
This study demonstrates that chromium picolinate has many beneficial effects in individuals with Type 2 diabetes, without any negative side effects after supplementation of up to one year.
Directions: Take one capsule twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
