Chromium Polynicotinate

Chromium Polynicotinate supplies a nutritional form of chromium, an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels. Chromium exerts its physiological effect as an integral component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF), an organic complex of trivalent chromium, niacin, glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine. Chromium Polynicotinate is a patented, niacin-bound chromium complex that plays an important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of healthy body weight. Many individuals are at risk of chromium deficiency. These include those who consume a diet rich in refined sugars, exercise regularly, and the elderly due to reduced absorption and inadequate intake of chromium. Recent studies report that type 2 diabetics may need significantly more chromium than the average individual. When combined with exercise and a sensible diet, Chromium Polynicotinate helps: Maintain healthy body weight and promotes normal energy metabolism Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes cardiovascular health Promote normal insulin function and maintain healthy blood sugar levels
