Function
- Glycemic Control:Chromium Picolinate is thought to help improve insulin sensitivity, thereby helping regulate blood sugar levels and may be beneficial for people with diabetes.
- Promote fat metabolism: Some studies show that chromium may help promote fat metabolism and help reduce body fat.
- Increases Muscle Mass: Chromium Picolinate may help increase muscle mass, especially when combined with appropriate exercise.
- Suppresses Appetite: Some people believe that chromium supplements can help reduce appetite, which can aid in weight control.
- Improves Cholesterol Levels: Some studies show that chromium may help improve cholesterol levels, lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
- Supports Cardiovascular Health: Chromium Picolinate may indirectly support cardiovascular health by improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Recommended Usage
- As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules per day with food. (1000 mcg dose) It is possible to get too much Chromium, so we don’t recommend exceeding 4 capsules or 2000 mcg per day.
- A 4 capsule daily dose of 2000 mcg per day is itself too high for most people unless they have a severe chromium deficiency, so for most people the recommended 2 capsule dosage will be plenty.
