Description
Chromium 200 mcg is an essential trace mineral that is needed for insulin production to help the body maintain normal blood sugar levels. Diets high in refined and processed foods can cause chromium deficiency. Many nutritionally-oriented doctors recommend 200 mcg of chromium per day and suggest that small amounts of supplemental chromium may help prevent adult onset diabetes.
Adequate levels of chromium assist the release of stored fat for fuel in the muscles. Other benefits of chromium supplementation may be better blood sugar control, better hunger management, and greater muscle development for more fat burning capacity.

Minerals that are 'chelated' for use as a food supplement are sometimes bound to organic compounds like proteins or amino acids. This process neutralizes the positive or negative charge of the mineral creating a neutral molecule that, in theory, is better absorbed than the isolated mineral. Studies seem to support this theory for minerals such as chromium, iron, or selenium; chelated and non-chelated forms of zinc and copper demonstrate similar levels of bioavailability, so there seems to be little benefit of taking chelated zinc or copper.
Suggested use is one tablet per day or as directed by a physician.
