Albion® Swanson Chelated Chromium - 180caps

What is it?

Studies of the biological implications of chromium are still in their infancy, and how it works are still somewhat mysterious. However, scientists believe that it is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. In particular, they believe that it has an insulin sensitizing effect. There is therefore hope for the regulation of blood sugar, diabetes and especially type 2 diabetes.

Chromium is a mineral recognized by European authorities for its contribution to maintaining normal blood sugar levels .

The benefits of taking chromium go far beyond its involvement in blood sugar, but unfortunately, current legislation does not allow us to communicate on the health benefits of chromium. We invite you to carry out your research on the scientific reference site: Pubmed.

Today, to promote good assimilation of the trace element, it is the form of picolinate that is preferred‌. Indeed, picolinic acid is perfectly well recognized by the human body and therefore totally assimilated.

No maximum dosage has been set by the safety agency food.

However, chromium sold as a dietary supplement does not generally exceed the dose of 200 µg per capsule. This dose of 100 to 200 µg is preferred for weight and blood sugar regulation.

Chromium is taken 5 minutes before the main meal.

Daily requirements

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set a reference value of 40 µg for daily chromium requirements. However, it is possible that due to various factors such as poor eating habits, stress or taking medication, the additional needs are not covered by the diet. According to the WHO, we should consume a maximum of 250 μg of chromium per day. Finally, human studies have shown no adverse effects at doses of 1 mg of chromium picolinate over several months. This explains, in fact, that chromium-based food supplements contain up to 200µg of chromium.

Other ingredients: rice flour, gelatin, maltodextrin.
