From blood glucose regulation to appetite and body weight control, the properties of chromium picolinate and its benefits for your health are manifold.
What is chromium picolinate used for?
One of the properties of chromium picolinate is its ability to facilitate the action of insulin, a hormone that allows cells to absorb glucose from the blood, which is essential for maintaining sugar levels within healthy ranges. This can be especially beneficial for people with diabetes or prediabetes. By stabilizing blood sugar, cravings and hunger are reduced, thus promoting body weight control and helping to avoid unhealthy habits such as overeating. On the other hand, chromium promotes the breakdown and efficient utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, making it essential for muscle growth and energy production. Along these lines, by promoting the gain of lean muscle mass and the reduction of body fat, it may improve body composition and exercise endurance. Other studies suggest it may help maintain cardiovascular health.By increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk factors associated with heart disease, the associated with heart disease, such as LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and high blood pressure, such as LDL (” bad”)cholesterol and high blood pressure. Also, although more research is needed, may play a role in bone health by contributing to bone formation and mineralization.
