What Is Chromium Used For?
Uses For Chromium (picolinate)
Glucose and Fat Metabolism: Optimal levels of chromium are essential for proper glucose and lipid metabolism.* One small study suggests that chromium picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain.

Chromium is sourced naturally from earthen ore. Picolinate is synthetic. Hypo- allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.
