Role Of Chromium in the body
-
CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM — aids the body in using carbohydrates by supporting insulin’s role in blood glucose metabolism
-
CELLULAR ENERGY PRODUCTION — as a key mineral, chromium supports the conversion of food into cellular energy
-
ABSORPTION — good bioavailability compared with other chromium forms
Why We Use It
Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate)
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a key role in supporting carbohydrate metabolism. It works by enhancing the action of insulin, a hormone that is necessary for helping your body's cells absorb glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream for cellular energy production. Insufficient dietary chromium may reduce insulin's effectiveness, potentially leading to challenges in maintaining stable blood sugar levels throughout your cycle.
Chromium is found in a variety of foods, including broccoli, beef, potatoes, and whole grains. However, the amount in these foods can vary greatly, and the mineral is often lost during food processing.
We use chromium picolinate, a chelated form of chromium bonded to picolinic acid. This form is widely recognized for its good bioavailability, meaning it is absorbed and utilized by the body more effectively than other forms of chromium.
We included chromium picolinate in our Primary Essentials to make sure your dietary intake is sufficient, as maintaining consistent nutrient levels is important for supporting your body's metabolic health throughout your cycle.
