MVP Chromium Picolinate (240 caps)

Chromium is important for fat metabolism, enzyme activation, and glucose support. Chromium inhibits the synthesis of new fat from carbohydrates, thus freeing the mitochondria to burn already stored fat. In addition, chromium increases the effectiveness of insulin and optimizes glucose metabolism.*

Chromic Active™ is a biologically active source of Chromium Picolinate. Many world diets do not contain enough Chromium, an essential trace mineral. Chromium assists the action of insulin, a hormone involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.

Research shows that chromium is an essential part of our diet. Chromium picolinate can have many beneficial results when supplemented. It enhances insulin's effect in the body, improving the uptake of glucose, thereby causing better blood circulation and maintenance of blood sugar level. Evidence also supports chromium's ability as a cholesterol and atherosclerosis fighter. 

Gaining energy, burning fat, and building muscle with greater ease are attributed to chromium, to name a few. It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to replace fat. Lowering body fat and increasing lean body mass are just a few of the positive properties that chromium picolinate exhibits on the body. Research also shows that supplementation has some age slowing effects and therefore can increase the life span! 

Lower Cholesterol and Insulin Levels
Chromium has been shown to improve the insulin response to glucose and has been used with some success to control blood glucose levels in patients with type I and type II diabetes. Studies in cell culture have shown that chromium picolinate can increase the cell's membrane fluidity and help increase the rate of insulin uptake. 

The most recent study that looked at the effects of exercise and dietary supplementation with chromium picolinate has found additional benefits. When a group of individuals were given one milligram chromium picolinate for 13 weeks along with a twice weekly program of exercise, there was a significant decrease in serum cholesterol, LDL and insulin.  This study suggests that chromium picolinate supplementation plus exercise may be a safe means of helping to lower cholesterol as well as preventing and managing heart disease and diabetes.
