Natural Factors Chromium Picolinate - 500 mcg - Helps to enhance the action of insulin, metabolizes glucose, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. As most North Americans are at risk of chromium deficiency, supplementing with easily absorbed chromium picolinate ensures adequate levels of chromium, maintains healthy blood sugar balance, and reduces food cravings. Inadequate chromium intake is linked to increased levels of low density (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased levels of high density (good) cholesterol, factors that heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease. Chromium picolinate is the form of chromium most easily absorbed by the body, which is why it is often used in clinical trials.
