Chromium Picolinate
Tablets 200

Chromium is an essential trace element and contributes to the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat) and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

Chromium plays a role in the formation of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which increases insulin sensitivity and thereby influences blood glucose levels. A chromium deficiency can therefore lead to reduced glucose tolerance with fluctuating blood glucose levels and, in the long term, to elevated blood glucose levels.

Chromium picolinate has significantly better bioavailability compared to other chromium compounds such as chromium chloride.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Chromium contributes to:

• Normal macronutrient metabolism
• The maintenance of normal blood glucose levels

Directions

Take 1 tablet (200µg chromium) with 200ml water daily at mealtimes.

Daily Requirements

The European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) has established a daily chromium requirement of 40µg. According to the German Nutrition Society (DGE), adults require 30µg to 100µg chromium per day. Since the chromium content of food fluctuates significantly, sufficient intake may not be guaranteed through dietary intake. Moreover, other factors such as poor diet, stress, and medication can result in an increased requirement for chromium which cannot be met by a typical diet.

According to the WHO, chromium supplementation should not exceed 250µg. Human studies have shown, however, that doses of 1mg taken over a period of months do not cause undesirable side effects.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
