Chromium
Picolinate
Chromium is an essential
trace mineral that works with insulin to support healthy blood glucose
levels and plays an important role in the proper utilization of protein,
fat and carbohydrates. Chromium helps insulin to metabolize fat, turn
protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. Because chromium can
boost the activity of insulin, it stands to reason that supplements might
help some people with adult-onset (Type 2) diabetes control their blood
sugar. Indeed, several studies have consistently found that 400 mcg to
1,000 mcg (1 milligram) of chromium picolinate each day can decrease
fasting blood sugar levels, lower blood cholesterol, and improve other
symptoms of diabetes. Chromium is a nutrient and not a drug, which means
it can only help people who are not getting enough of the mineral in their
diets.*
