Chromium Picolinate
Product Highlights:
Chromium Picolinate is a dietary supplement that may be
helpful in suppressing appetites and cravings.
Additionally, it has been
shown to build muscle and trim fat simultaneously. If taken with exercise
and as part of a calorie controlled diet, the results can be outstanding.
Chromium Picolinate is thought to be the best source of
chromium. Chromium is a trace mineral that is essential to the body's
production of insulin. Research shows that chromium is an essential part of
our diet. Chromium picolinate can have many beneficial results when
supplemented. It enhances insulin's effect in the body, improving the uptake
of glucose, thereby causing better blood circulation and maintenance of
blood sugar level. Evidence also supports chromium's ability as a
cholesterol and atherosclerosis fighter. Gaining energy, burning fat, and
building muscle with greater ease are attributed to chromium, to name a few.
It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to
replace fat. Lowering body fat and increasing lean body mass are just a few
of the positive properties that chromium picolinate exhibits on the body.
Research also shows that supplementation has some age slowing effects and
therefore can increase the life span.
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.
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.
