Are you looking for a way to balance your blood sugar levels, or perhaps you want to take care of your figure? Chromium – as a micronutrient crucial for carrying out many processes in the body – can help you with this. Reach for Chromium 200 μg from OSAVI and see how it affects your condition.
Chromium (chromium) is a trace element, which means that the need for it is low. However, the micronutrient itself is essential for the smooth functioning of the body. It contributes to maintaining normal nutrient metabolism and helps to maintain optimal blood glucose levels. Chromium is thought to play a role in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism by enhancing insulin action [1, 2]. It has been suggested that the benefits of chromium supplementation may be felt in particular by people with diabetes, lipoprotein disorders and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as with increased body weight [3]. This element may play an important role in altering body composition and alleviating symptoms of metabolic conditions (e.g. insulin resistance) [4]. Studies indicate that chromium intake has a positive effect on glycaemic control in people with diabetes. It may also improve triglyceride and HDL-C levels [5]. The most common form of chromium in dietary supplements is picolinate. It is characterised by its high stability – so that it reaches cells in its original form – and higher bioavailability than other chromium compounds [6, 7].
Chromium can be found in meat, cereal products, vegetables, fruits and nuts, among others. It is worth noting, however, that it is difficult to determine the content of chromium in food – mainly because the level of this micronutrient varies depending on the quality of the soil, local water conditions and production processes carried out. The absorption of chromium from the diet itself is relatively low. Interestingly, most products with a high sugar content (e.g. sucrose or fructose) have a low chromium content. Tailor-made supplements may be helpful in providing adequate amounts of this element. [1]. Chromium accumulates in the liver, spleen, soft tissues and bones, among others, and is excreted mainly in the urine – the determination of chromium content in the urine is therefore a good indicator of its absorption [1].
Our supplement contains chromium in a highly bioavailable form – chromium picolinate. It is free of unnecessary additives (it has a so-called clean label). The recommended daily serving, which corresponds to 1 capsule, contains 1600 μg of chromium picolinate, including 200 μg of chromium (500% RWS). The product is recommended to be taken with a meal.
