What is Pure Nutrition Chromium Picolinate?
Pure Nutrition's Chromium Picolinate is a stimulant-free, blood sugar-balancing dietary supplement designed to support efficient carbohydrate processing, improve insulin sensitivity, and aid in healthy serotonin production.
Pure Nutrition's Chromium Picolinate contains the most bioactive form of chromium, which, according to clinical studies, helps regulate blood sugar, reduces LDL cholesterol, and reduces appetite.
How does Pure Nutrition's Chromium Picolinate work?
Chromium is an essential trace element that boosts carbohydrate metabolism, supports healthy serotonin levels, and even regulates cortisol levels. Thanks to this, chromium increases energy, mood, and also balances appetite.
The way chromium improves carbohydrate metabolism is by increasing insulin sensitivity. When insulin sensitivity is impaired, the body cannot properly move glucose from the blood into the cells, and as a result, blood sugar levels rise. High blood sugar is a major cause of diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cardiovascular complications.
Many dietary supplements rely on forms of chromium such as chromium chloride, which have low bioavailability. Pure Nutrition Chromium Picolinate contains chromium polynicotinate, as this form is highly bioavailable and has been shown to be effective.
Picolinate is a type of mineral transporter that, in general, transports substances such as chromium, zinc, iron, copper and other trace minerals so that they can be effectively absorbed into the tissues. This type of transporter is known as a “chelator.” According to studies, mineral absorption into the tissues is dramatically improved when the minerals are transported with the chelator picolinic acid (picolinate).
Picolinic acid is synthesized in the kidneys and lungs from the amino acid L-tryptophan and is the main chelator in the human body. It is also often used as an ingredient in zinc and copper supplements.
Benefits of taking Pure Nutrition Chromium Picolinate:
- Improves carbohydrate absorption by increasing insulin sensitivity;
- Helps regulate blood sugar;
- Reduces cholesterol;
- Reduces the impact of stress on the body by regulating serotonin and cortisol levels;
- Improves lipogenesis (metabolic processes in adipose tissue) and helps reduce body fat;
- Prevents fat accumulation in the body;
What makes Pure Nutrition Chromium Picolinate better than other chromium supplements?
Most chromium supplements on the market contain less effective forms of the trace mineral, such as chromium chloride or chromium nicotinate. With Pure Nutrition's Chromium Picolinate, you get a highly effective form of chromium - pure chromium chelated with picolinic acid. The product is manufactured in the USA in a cGMP certified factory, ensuring you are buying the purest, safest, highest quality supplement on the market.
