Products Description Chromium picolinate, also called chromium pyridine carboxylate, chromium methyl pyridine, purple red crystal fine powder, good fluidity, stable at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, where chromium is trivalent chromium. Chromium picolinate works together with insulin produced by the pancreas to metabolize carbohydrates. Chromium picolinate is a nutritional supplement commonly used to help control blood sugar levels and promote healthy insulin metabolism. It is a compound formed from chromium and picolinic acid. Chromium is a trace element that is very important for the body’s metabolic processes. It plays a key role in the activity of insulin, helping to promote glucose utilization and cellular energy production. Chromium picolinate is thought to increase insulin sensitivity, thereby helping to control blood sugar levels, and may also have an impact on weight management and muscle growth.

It is used not only by those looking to quickly shed pounds but also by people who want to improve their energy efficiency (such as athletes) and by people who suffer from diabetes. Predominantly, chromium picolinate works by increasing insulin production, which has the ability to improve energy efficiency so that the user can reduce blood sugar levels, improve energy and accelerate fat loss.
