Chromium picolinate 250 µg

Chromium is an essential trace element for controlling blood sugar levels and regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A health benefit results above all from a carbohydrate-rich diet (increased requirement), as is the case with athletes, or to compensate for a reduced chromium intake (e.g. in old age).

Chromium picolinate is an organic chromium compound and thus very bioavailable. Many other preparations offer chromium in inorganic compounds with salts, such as chromium nicotinate or chromium chloride. These are clearly inferior.

Macronutrient chromium

Macronutrients are the nutrients from which the body obtains its vital energy. These include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In addition, the trace element chromium is only found in small amounts in the body, but it is essential for health. Chromium is involved in numerous processes that keep your body healthy and in balance, especially in the area of carbohydrate metabolism.

With Zeinpharma's chromium picolinate capsules you get trivalent chromium, the most biologically valuable form of this trace element. This way it is quickly transported to its targets, the muscles and fat cells, where it contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels.

Expert tip

If you also take zinc or iron, it is more difficult for your body to absorb chromium. For this reason, it is best to take the supplements about two hours apart. On the other hand, there are indications that taking vitamin C together with chromium leads to better bioavailability. For this reason, we recommend combining chromium picolinate with vitamin C, because vitamin C contributes to a normal energy metabolism.
