Chromium is not typically considered a nutrient as majority of people know it for its wide variety of applications including 3rd Century weaponry during the Qin Dynasty and modern day applications of Chromium plating. Whereas in health it's used in the trivalent form. Finally in the 18th century, the biological benefits of Chromium were discovered which gave rise to its use in supplements. The body uses very small amounts of Chromium in the body and so is classified as a mineral. There are but a few natural food sources of Chromium including egg yolk, red meat, cheese, wholegrain cereals, brewe's yeast and thyme. Although, there are a few well consumed foods, they do not very chromium dense (1 and 13ug, micrograms). In this tablet there is Chromium Picolinate. This form of Chromium lays claim to two major therapeutic benefits. The benefits are for macronutrient metabolism and maintenance of blood glucose levels. The primary function of Chromium Picolinate is to aid the metabolism of macro nutrients (Protein, Carbohydrate, and Fat). According to strong scientific evidence, Chromium increases protein synthesis, lowers blood fat concentration and helps to maintain blood glucose concentrations. Chromium Picolinate acts by helping to form the organic complex, glucose tolerance factor (GTF). GTF helps to regulate glucose uptake into the cells. Greater concentrations of glucose inside the cells creates perfect conditions for energy production, specifically in the muscles. We offer, not only the 500mcg strength but the 1000mcg too. The tablet size is a small 6mm, with a tablet weight of 150mg, for easy consumption.
