Chromium – Important for metabolism

Chromium is a trace element involved in various metabolic processes.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to the normal metabolism of macronutrients.

Macronutrients include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They provide energy and serve as important building blocks for numerous bodily functions.

Adequate chromium intake is normally achieved through a balanced diet.

Chromium picolinate – Organic chromium compound

In chromium picolinate, chromium is bound to picolinic acid.

This compound is used in dietary supplements and is characterized by its good bioavailability.

Pure Encapsulations® uses tested-quality chromium picolinate for targeted supplementation of daily chromium intake.

Chromium intake in cases of special dietary habits

Supplementary chromium intake may be considered in cases of insufficient intake through food.

Whether an increased requirement actually exists depends on various individual factors. A high-carbohydrate or high-fat diet alone does not automatically mean that a chromium deficiency is present.
