Chromium Picolinate by Olympian Labs

Chromium Picolinate by Olympian Labs was first recognized as an important dietary trace mineral in the 1950s. Research showed that chromium works with insulin to help metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Insulin depends on chromium to help move sugar and fat into cells, where the nutrients either are burned for fuel or stored as glycogen.

Chromium is not produced by the body and must be obtained through the diet. Unfortunately, the American diet, which is high in refined foods such as flour and sugar, supplies little chromium.

Chromium forms part of a compound in the body known as Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the action of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels. It is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose and maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium may also reduce body fat, control hunger/suppress appetite, reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels and may even help to increase lean muscle mass.

Chromium Picolinate was developed by scientists because it is more easily absorbed by the body than Chromium alone. Picolinate is an organic compound that enhances absorption of chromium from the digestive tract.

If you are diabetic, you should check with your health care provider before taking Chromium Picolinate.
