Chromium
Picolinate - Information and Health Benefits
Chromium picolinate
is a patented version of the trace mineral chromium. Studies show that
chromium picolate's benefits include:
- weight
loss,
- lowered
serum cholesterol and glucose
- fat burning
|
Picolinic acid is
produced in the human body, apparently for the purpose of improving
the cellular uptake of trace metal ions. Scientists have demonstrated
that several minerals in picolinate form are many times better assimilated
than most other forms of the same minerals.
A double blind,
crossover study showed an average of 7% cholesterol reduction in subjects
taking chromium picolinate. Chromium can also produce anabolic effects
similar to steroids, but without any of the side effects. It not only
increases strength and muscle mass, but was also shown to decrease body
fat by 22% in one study.
