Chromium Polynicotinate

Chromium is a mineral that is essential for human health. It helps decrease carbohydrate cravings and improves the body’s insulin sensitivity. Researchers believe that chromium enhances the action of insulin in the body by helping insulin bind to its receptor sites on the cells. When insulin is able to bind to a cell, you become more insulin sensitive. The opposite of insulin sensitive is insulin resistant.

People who have carbohydrate cravings and are insulin resistant may want to supplement with chromium. Chromium (Polynicotinate) promotes the regulation and maintenance of normal cholesterol levels, as well as the metabolism of fats and sugars. It supports insulin in maintaining normal blood sugar levels.*

Many studies have shown benefits to diabetics and others who have problems with glucose control.

This formula contains Chromium Polynicotinate; there has been some controversy recently over the picolinate form, but none over the polynicotinate form nor over the arginate form in Chromium Synergy.

Recommendations: Two to five a day, preferably away from food (between meals).

Warnings: If you are on diabetic medication like glucophage, continue to monitor, as higher doses of chromium could improve insulin sensitivity and reduce your need for medication — your dose might have to be adjusted downward.
