Chromium is a mineral that we need small amounts of and must get from our food. Chromium plays a role in important body processes. It is hard for our body to absorb it directly from food though, so chromium supplements can help you meet your daily requirements.

Helping cells take in sugar

Our cells rely on blood to provide them with the sugar they need to function. Insulin works like a key, sending signals to the cell that it should take in glucose. Chromium helps to increase those signals, so that the cell can effectively take in glucose, amino acids, and fats.

Chromium supplements can help those who may be less sensitive to insulin.

Other benefits

Chromium can benefit those that are trying to keep their blood pressure in check, as it can lower blood pressure. It can decrease levels of bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, which supports heart health.

Chromium may also increase uptake of tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid that can be converted into serotonin – one of the “happiness” hormones, which affects our mood.

Maxler Chromium Picolinate is a great supplement for those that are looking to increase their chromium intake. This supplement is vegan, gluten-free, and will easily fit into your routine.

Improve your wellbeing

Chromium is an important player in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It helps to process incoming fats and to move sugar and other nutrients more efficiently from the bloodstream into the cells for their further use.

FAQ

Why not just use chromium?

On its own, the mineral is hard to absorb in the gut. Chromium picolinate consists of a chromium atom together with picolinic acid. This makes it easier for the gut to absorb the mineral. In fact, this is the best absorbed form of this mineral.

Can this supplement benefit athletes?

Yes! The mineral helps insulin work correctly, which also helps with glucose and amino acid intake into muscles. It can be beneficial for growing lean mass. Athletes tend to lose a lot of the mineral during and after exercise, so they need sufficient intake to replenish their chromium levels.

Are there any foods containing this mineral?

Yes! The chromium content of food varies depending on how it is grown and processed. Meat, whole grains, and liver are all good sources of this mineral. Broccoli and oranges are both quite rich in it as well.

You should aim to get around 25-35µg each day according to the National Institute of Health.

Gain to lose

Attempts to lose weight through dieting are often accompanied by feelings of hunger and food cravings. Getting in enough chromium leads to an increased insulin sensitivity, which is connected to a decrease in food cravings.
