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.
Function of Chromium Picolinate
Chromium picolinate is often used to treat chromium deficiency and to accelerate weight loss. 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.
